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?

They are useful in combinations. For example, maybe you want a wargame that isn't also flagged thematic and that has bag drawing as a mechanism. Or you want a party game that is strategic and uses drafting. Etc etc.
