The Board Game Club Championship trophy
The Board Game Club Champion (BGCC) was the board game equivalent of the WWE Championship in the Board Game Club series. It was legendary, its prestige knew no bounds, and it was only held by the best at board gaming.
Despite its prowess, the rules for the BGCC are somewhat vague. In particular, once BGC moved to in-person play, the shooting schedule started to play havoc with continuity for the Championship. Our final formal Board Game Club Championship was awarded to Dom for Let's Play MEAN GIRLS: THE PARTY GAME, which was explained in Let's Play DETECTIVE CLUB. Henceforward, "this episode's winner" would be used instead.
Very occasionally the trophy still makes an appearance, but it's no longer linked to the Championship.

Trivia[]
- Although Tom was the first to get a solo streak as BGCC, if one was to include team victories the first streak would be Elliott winning Wavelength and Secret Hitler.
- Laurie finished with the longest individual streak - 3 wins. Blair equalled that streak, but her 3rd win was as part of a team.
