Which games are neither short, medium-length, nor long?

[Jellby]

List of "All games, any play time": 928


List of "All short, medium-length and long games": 860


Which (and what) are the other 68? It's not just alpha, because both lists have alpha games. Could it be (alpha) games with a play time that falls exactly at the border between categories (20 or 30 min)? At least I've identified 3 such games which don't appear in the second list:

Games with undetermined lengths like chess?

[Jellby]

Chess is 15 min, according to https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=chess, and appears in the medium-length list (also the games I showed have some specified length). Which then falsifies my hypothesis, because 20 min is not in the border between categories.

Pure guess but perhaps there are a few games where a time hasn't been entered in the database.

[Jellby]

While that could be the case, at least the 3 games I found show 20 and 30 min. Perhaps the play time categories and play time displayed in the game page are different fields though.

Good you found this issue, Jellby!

I have read somewhere, that the average game time is automatically set by statistic data. I think you both are correct that those two are different fields, and the one for filtering hasn't been entered. As far as I know the game infos on the game page are usually set by the developer.

Since so many games are concerned and some games don't have active support now, I think a bug report for the site in general could be helpful, so I opened this one: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=119286 Please support it by voting for it!

This is not about senseless ranting, but about correct filtering so that all relevant games can be found.

Some games aren't filtered for some reason, not just games at the exact borders. I noticed King of Tokyo is not listed even though the time length stated would be a 'medium-length' game. (I haven't played it so I don't really know how long the game takes besides what BGA says.)
