FILTER THE GAME RESEARCH BASED ON THE 4 PARAMETERS: Complexity, Strategy, Luck, Interaction

[ufm]

I think it is important to have games correctly categorized. If someone is looking for something particular they may not try , find, or look for a game if it is categorized wrong.

Exactly!

How Lady's Choice isn't labeled under surreal/silly/absurd is beyond me

The developers manage tags of their games. If they don't care, a game may not have any tags at all.

Now Empire Plateau has interaction 5, chess has 0, EP has complexity 4, chess has 3... Really?

Without a proper standard these parameters are completely useless as filters, as I said before.

What about having them voted by players? And you need a certain status to do so. Something along the lines like being a reviewer.

Another one I just noticed is for bang. Complexity here 3 - bgg 1.6 . You can probably explain bang in a few paragraphs (although there are several special case scenarios because of player abilities). Also the description of every cards functions are printed on them.

I've often wondered if the complexity rating of games means the same as the difficulty rating. For example, some games are simple to learn yet more difficult in strategy.
