Pick a game

Answer what you know. Only the number of players is required.

Step 1 of 5 How many people are playing?

We check that the game supports exactly that number. Supporting it doesn't mean it's the ideal count.

Between 1 and 30 people.

Step 2 of 5 How much time do you have?
Step 3 of 5 What complexity are you after?

Complexity measures how many rules and decisions a game has, not how long it lasts. We use the weight voted by the players' community (1 to 5).

Step 4 of 5 What kind of experience do you fancy?

Pick several or none (any). Types overlap and are based on the categories and mechanics published in the game catalog.
