I was trying to find some games the other day, using advanced search and filters, and I’ve noticed some categories feel not so useful. This is the actual main categorization:
- Abstract games
- Children’s games
- Customizable games
- Family games
- Party games
- Strategy games
- Thematic games
- Wargames
These are the main game genres in your opinion?
What are family games? In regards to your question, i honestly don’t use categories a lot in BGG, but the few times i did, it was useful.
Family games are defined as games that young children and adults can enjoy. For example, Crokinole.
In practice, this category is used for “gateway” games, like Carcassonne.
