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?

    I never look at the Type and Category fields, my eyes are just not drawn there.

    What I do look at all the time is the Mechanism field. That’s one of the first things I check when finding out about a game for the first time. I also use that field extensively in searches. It’s fun to do an advanced search for combinations of different mechanisms. For example what are some co-op trick-taking games besides Crew and Fox in the Forest Duet?
