A board game record is a game record for a board game.

The term for the record of an abstract strategy board game is literally "board game record" (棋譜 or a derivative) in most of East Asia. In Japanese it is called kifu (棋譜), [1] in Standard Chinese qípǔ (simplified Chinese :棋谱; traditional Chinese :棋譜), and in Korean gibo (hangul: 기보, hanja: 棋譜).

In Go, board game records are traditionally used to record games on a grid diagram, marking the plays on the points and pieces.

Board game record databases can be useful to study board games. Many AI algorithms review a large database of professional games.
