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?
