@Piotrus:@BOZ:@Guinness323:@Mindmatrix: This is a very prominent game and a winner of the Spiel des Jahres. I've added a couple of easily accessible book refs and reviews, but IMO the (seven) references is insufficient and the reception section could still be expanded a bit. If it's possible, are there any reviews from older magazines (e.g., Pyramid (magazine), Arcane, or others listed RS per Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Sources) you can find? Many thanks for your help!

Hello
This website has hundreds of thousands of people on it covering multiple board games and other types of tabletop games. I also feel I know next to nothing about writing board game articles. I'm surprised there is not an article about it so could I ask someone on here create an article on it as you probably have the best expertise?

It might be notable, but yeah, someone needs to, well, write it. Unfortunately, my quick glance at sources (Google News) revelaed no SIGCOV outside a press relese.

Go ahead, anyone can edit Portal. Although as someone who mainted Portal:Poland a while back, I'll note that Portals are pointless: nobody visits them, so any attempt to update them etc. is just for your own enjoyment.

I've removed the ref to an open wiki, which is obviously unreliable. Board Game Beast, while we are at it, does not appear very reliable, I guess we can at best allow citing it for reviews and facts but not for establishing notability due to indeed no evidence of having any editorial policies or reliable staff etc. It's no better than a random blog IMHO.

In my unending quest to find reviews for existing articles on games, I have found quite a few reviews for games that do not currently have articles (either never started as far as I can tell, or deleted or redirected at some point). Rather than simply let those pass away into nothingness, I’ve been thinking about starting a reviews noticeboard for this project. In other words, list each game by name with a link to any review that I find. Once multiple reviews are found, someone can start the article and remove it from the noticeboard. Does this sound like a good idea, and do you have any suggestions for that?

OK great. :) I'm thinking of doing it in a format something like this, where we have a redlink to the game, date of publication, publisher(s), BGG link, and then link to the review(s):

While the text version is undoubtedly easier to edit - and I may be the main one adding entries - I think more importantly than looking good, the table is just a much easier presentation to read so I would rather go with that.

OK, in the absence of further input, I went ahead and started User:BOZ/BTG reviews noticeboard, and will begin adding new entries to it in my spare time. :) I broke it up into board games, card games, and wargames, and may do more to help organize it over time.

Hey all, I just want to share that I have made tremendous progress on this project. :) After looking at over a dozen magazine sources, I currently have only three left to go through (unless I find more). While this work has resulted in me creating an absolutely enormous list of games with one review each, the work I've done here (and the work I did in the months leading up to it) has also resulted in me starting or restoring quite a few articles on games after finding more reviews for them, including Eurorails, Lexicon (card game), London Cabbie, Ratrace (game), Sleuth (game), Stocks & Bonds, Tri-nim, and Lionheart (board game) among others! I expect to be able to finish this before the end of the year, and then add the noticeboard page to this WikiProject hopefully for all to be able to see and use.

The last maybe 10 years or so (at best) have seen an explosion in WP:RS game websites to provide a wealth of sources to really make tabletop game articles sparkle and shine. I was reminded today that the 10 years or so before that are a much harder time to find sources for; game websites like we have now were still just developing into a thing, and the old reliable sources – games magazines, that is – were dying out. The second version of Pyramid from SJG was published online until 2008 and the third version after that did not review games from other companies; InQuest lasted until 2007; Dragon remained in print form until 2013; German magazine Envoyer ended in 2008; one rare exception is French magazine Casus Belli which (aside from ending in 2006 and starting again in 2010) has continued in production now for over 40 years. I can't speak to how long any of those continued to review games from other companies, but they all did for a substantial portion of their print runs.
I said all that to say that games made in the past 10 years should theoretically be easier to source than those from the early 2000s, in theory. To test my theory, I went to my games deletion list and picked out some more recently deleted game articles and drafts.
If you spot any sources that can be used to restore any of these, let me know! :) BOZ (talk) 01:27, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230407012700","author":"BOZ","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-BOZ-20230407012700-Restoring_deleted_articles","replies":["c-Piotrus-20230620052300-BOZ-20230407012700","c-BOZ-20241121135600-BOZ-20230407012700"]}}-->

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

This article is, frankly, in a horrendous state. I fear that the primary contributor is too invested in the material. At worst, the account borders on advertising. The creator of the article also appears to take offense to the changes.

See Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles/Level/5#Board_(tabletop)_game_changes. Please note that Vital project is not very well attended (neither are we here). What I am saying is that this is not a call for votes but an invitation to suggest and discuss which board games (or board game concepts, or tabletop games and concepts in general) should be in that list. I sugget removing a bunch of ancient/historical/forgotten games and adding some more recent ones.

I think there should be more attention given to the historical games! One of the frequent critiques of Wikipedia is that it's presentist, and choosing to not do research on older games is kind of a way of erasing them from our modern consciousness. I think board game culture benefits when we think of it as having an international and ancient past. On the other hand, maybe there isn't enough scholarly research to expand pages for individual pre-modern games (but Nine Men's Morris! It's a classic!). That said, I don't know how important it is for a page to be considered "vital" (does it actually encourage people to edit it?).

You're right. Trouble is, very few people seem to be interested or have access to the sources. The situation for card games is better - we have a good selection of historical games and I've been adding and expanding the history sections of many others. It's surprising how old some are! I've recently found the earliest rules for modern Doppelkopf dating to 1899 and have pushed its full history back to 1811. The German Doppelkopf Association only knew of rules going back to 1941. But we now need to organise card games in the vital article list - that's way out of date.

Some of the content cannot be verified. You could probably find sources, but they are likely to be from Wizards.
There are some independent sources, like this one. But I hardly feel as though that would be enough. I think the subjects are notable enough, but then you read the Grand Prix article and find the history section has only one source, which is from Wizards.
The Worlds article is just extremely long with dozens of external links. It also suffers from other problems. Aside from the obvious errors, I think cutting the tables on the decks and particular cards would be a good start. Instead of having several tables and bullet points and information that isn't particularly important, we should just just have a table that goes year by year, stating the winner and winner's deck color.
I almost want to suggest merging most of these into a Competitive Magic: The Gathering article, but that's likely not necessary. I'll focus on just removing content that isn't sourced.

Trying to source them would be good. Merge or deletion should only be considered if one cannot rescue them, which from what I read you think you may be able to do - good luck!

I think they can be saved. But I also think the tables and descriptions on the Worlds article need to be cut down heavily. My sandbox has more or less what I think would make the most sense, but I'm not sure. But I also think that listing and linking to every single card used is a little much.

User:KangarooGymnast contends that a browser game of the same name as this GDW board game is "clearly based on the board game"[53] because it has the same title and focuses on presidential elections, even though the source that they provided does not mention the board game at all that I could see.

One thing we need is a "banner", an image that meets the following criteria:
Banners have a 7:1 width to height ratio.
Banners need to be at least 1800 pixels wide to accommodate wide screens (images do not scale up to fit the size of the screen). The recommended dimensions are 2100 x 300 pixels.

We are called "Board and table games". But what is a Table game? That's a disambig that really just says this term is used for board games as well as Casino game. The proper parent term is tabletop games. And I note here is no WikiProject dedicated to card games (@Bermicourt). Should we rename this project to 1) WikiProject Board and card games, 2) WikiProject Tabletop games or 3) WikiProject Board, card and casino games? Considering the typology seen at tabletop, I think 2) (WP Tabletop games) would be best to represent what we actually are concerned about (afaik...). See also Category:Tabletop games.

John McLeod had the same issues when building his website pagat.com, which is pretty much the leading database on card games. He references "David Parlett: The Oxford Guide to Card Games (Oxford University Press 1990) pages 61 to 64" on the difficulty of classifying them since games are ever-evolving. But in the end he classified them according to 1. mechanism (which a game could have more than one of), and 2. objective. 72.216.186.113 (talk) 23:58, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240808235800","author":"72.216.186.113","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-72.216.186.113-20240808235800-Piotrus-20231231023200","replies":[]}}-->

It looks like its sister volume Hobby Games: The 100 Best was already added to the 100 games articles from that book, but I made a list of the games featured in the Family Games volume as listed below, using this archived copy: [54].
A few of these already are making use of the book in the article already, but most are not. If you wanted to work on any of those articles, you now have one more source you can incorporate if it's not already there. :)

WP has amazing coverage of card games, thinks largely to User:Bermicourt. But he recently resigned suddently, when he got pushback from editors on his over-capitalized style. This is a great loss. I've been poking around at card games, motivated by fixing the over capping at first, but realizing what a huge thing he had in progress. Particularly, it seems he was recently most of the way through converting game categorization to use John McLeod's (pagat.com's) "group" taxonomy, as opposed to the earlier "family" notation of Parlett's various publications. So I'm trying to understand what makes sense to do there. Are we happy adopting the taxonomy of pagat.com (a great resource site, for sure!)? Or would we be better off sticking with something sourced to more publications with more editorial oversight? I'm not about to make any major changes myself, but I think that if we like the pagat.com system, we should have an article on it, and make it more clear where the "group" nomenclature comes from. Any other card editors out there, or others with ideas and opinions?

The International Playing Card Society recognizes both Parlett's book and McLeod's site on their FAQ. Wikipedia's category tagging system allows a game to fall under multiple categories, so I don't think we should restrain ourselves towards one scheme or another.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. Lately there has been a trend on "box breaking", where a group of people will spend some amount of money to contribute towards a box of collectible cards, which is later distributed amongst the contributors in some random manner. Is this encompassed in an existing article in this project or WP:Casino? Appreciate any input. This may be a worthy subject for an article as a unique form of gambling ([73]).

The method seems pretty pervasive to me. I'll try and find some sources that aren't just stores doing it. There are dozens of these places, both in-person (you get to watch someone else open your booster packs and give you only some of the cards!) and online (watch your pack openings get broadcast worldwide!). Couple of news stories about the practice too: ESPNLA Times (Edit: Draft:Breaking (trading cards) exists now.)

I've been editing Ticket to Ride (board game), and I need advice on how to proceed with the "Awards and Honours" section within this article. I was thinking of making it into a table, but I'm afraid of the table taking up too much space. I could leave it as it is, but I feel that it looks too disorganized to do that. I've been using Wingspan (board game) as a reference, but this article has a lot less awards, so the length of the section wouldn't really be an issue. What would be the best approach for this section?

Hi. I run fairly new board game media outlet. We're working on our processes to be recognized as a reliable source as I see there is room for more reliable sources. I have read over WP:BGS and I understand there is some leeway compared to other WikiProjects for reliable sources. Do you have any clear-cut list of requirements that you follow when reviewing sources?
In the meantime, I was also wondering what are the requirements to at least start being recognized as an unreliable source to start. Thanks for your time.

Hi there! I'm sure everyone here appreciates your interest in improving our coverage of board games, but I think if you add content that you can only source to yourselves, then besides the potential for it being construed as a conflict of interest, I'm not sure you would be able to satisfy concerns that you are a self-published source. That said, I may be wrong; I find your description of yourself as a "board game media outlet" to be a bit vague. If you mean that you're a publication and that you'd be supplementing Wikipedia articles by citing your own content, that's definitely a conflict of interest concern. It might help us if you clarified your position within the boardgaming arena a bit, but in any event I'd encourage you to review the links I've shared. Cheers, and I hope you'll enjoy your time here!
