Search by game characteristics

Post by PasTagA »

In each game there are four game characteristics rated with a bar.
- complexity
- strategy
- luck
- interaction

It would be great to be able to search games based on that.
E.g. be able to get a list of all games that have a lot of interaction.

First thing they'd need to do is make sure those metrics are properly rated. They aren't now. So many are just left at their defaults (3,3,3,3)

They tend to rely on search filter categories (family games, train games, solo games...), but those aren't great. I'd really like something by interaction. It divides gamers as much as anything.

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)
