Does your csv file have a header? If not, you cannot use DictReader
I think that your print function is never reached.
Add immediately after line3:
print(f"csv file contains {len(list(reader))}")
run it and see how many records are found.

    header = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', ...] # replace with actual column names
    with open("boardgames.csv", 'r') as csvfile:
        reader = csv.reader(csvfile)
        for xrow in reader:
            row = dict(zip(header, xrow))
            ...

then use csv reader (not DictReader)
an example of using zip would be:

    header = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', ...] # replace with actual column names
    with open("boardgames.csv", 'r') as csvfile:
        reader = csv.reader(csvfile)
        for xrow in reader:
            row = dict(zip(header, xrow))
            ...

the output looks like a json file would be a better choice than your method.
