What can the crawl affect?

BoardGamePrices displays shop offers with price and stock information. If the bot cannot reach a participating store, that information may not remain current.

How often does BoardGamePrices update store information?

The public comparison site says prices and stock status are updated daily. The crawler record does not publish an exact visit schedule for each store.

Does BoardGamePrices Bot obey robots.txt?

Its robots behavior is not documented. The stable token can be used in a rule, but a store should verify the result in logs and enforce a hard block elsewhere if necessary.

Does BoardGamePrices Bot supply AI search or training data?

No such use is documented. The stated purpose is board game offer comparison.

BoardGamePrices Bot & AI Search: What to Know

What is BoardGamePrices Bot?

BoardGamePrices Bot has a specific commercial job: it visits participating board game stores for the price comparison service operated by KP Software Consult ApS. The operator says the stores in that program have given permission to be crawled, so this is not described as an unsolicited crawl of every retailer it can find.

BoardGamePrices uses shop data to compare offers for shoppers. Its site displays prices and stock status and says those details are updated daily. A store's crawlability can therefore affect whether its offer remains current in that comparison service.

This is an ecommerce aggregator, not a documented AI crawler. Nothing in the operator record links the collected store data to language-model training or generative search results. A visit may affect a shop's presence on BoardGamePrices, but it does not indicate AI search indexing.

The crawler identifies itself as BoardGamePrices Bot. A retailer can match that stable string in logs or write a robots.txt group for it, but the available operator material does not promise that the bot will follow such a rule. Compliance should be treated as unknown and checked in actual traffic.

Indirectly relevant

Is BoardGamePrices Bot relevant for AI search?

Indirectly. BoardGamePrices Bot has no AI product of its own, but its output can end up in the systems that AI answers draw on.

BoardGamePrices Bot collects content from many sites and redistributes it through its own product. Aggregated copies can end up in datasets that AI systems later learn from, and some aggregators are themselves sources that AI answer engines draw on.

How to handle BoardGamePrices Bot

A participating store should compare the requested URLs with the pages covered by its arrangement with BoardGamePrices. If the service is meant to list the shop, allow the relevant product pages and address rate or scope problems through that relationship before blocking everything.

The stable user agent supports this full-site rule:

User-agent: BoardGamePrices Bot
Disallow: /

That snippet records the site's preference, but operator compliance is not documented. Watch the logs after publishing it. If verified requests continue and access must stop, apply a narrowly targeted origin or edge rule so ordinary shoppers and other crawlers are not caught with it.

Examples

A participating shop changes a game's stock status and later checks whether `BoardGamePrices Bot` revisited that product before the comparison listing is refreshed.
A retailer finds the bot outside its board game catalog and asks the operator to reconcile those paths with the store's crawl permission.
