Sure, I could add a game's...
I have often heard that board game reviews should talk about the price of games. If a review tries to help people make a buying decision, then that makes perfect sense. After all, the best game in the world may still just be too expensive and a game that's free may still not be worth it. Of course, there are many steps in between. So how much a game costs is clearly something people consider. Yet, I never mention the price of a game in any of my reviews and I don't plan on doing so in the future. Let me explain...

You can list the msrp and let others decide what they think about it. I also don’t think it would be inappropriate for you to say how you feel about the price you paid if you feel it’s worth mentioning it… your opinion makes up 100% of the content of your review anyway.
In most cases it’s not really important. I see people say things like “they are charging 60$, but to my eyes this feels like a 50$ game”. Im not a fan of this kind of comment because such a small spread can be explained by many factors… size of print run, etc. But if you are reviewing a game by Chip Theory Games or any other premium product and don’t mention the cost I feel you are doing your audience a disservice.
