Evaluating Board Games

Everyone has thier favorite game. Some people love card games, others board games and then there are those that prefer dice games. It doesn’t matter what kind of game that we each like, it seems like we are always debating which board game, card game, or dice game is the best. For the purposes of leveling the playing field and creating a standard of evaluation i have established a frame work on which i will evaluate each game that i do a review on.

Each of the categories will receive a score between 1 and 10 with 10 being the stronger score. The games will be evaluated by their length of play and then will receive an overall score. I may only have 30 minutes to play a game and so even though my favorite is much longer i want to know the best for the the slot. Games will be slotted into three different time categories. Games less than 30 mintes, games betwee 30 and 60 minutes and games that are over 60 minutes.

Once a game is slotted into a time category it will be evaluated on the following criteria:
1. Fun
2. Uniqueness
3. Appearance
4. Replay ability
5.Learnability

Each game will receive a total score out of 50, the higher the score, the stronger my recommendation on the game will be. Of course the review score will be subject to my personal bias, but i will do my best to fairly evaluate each game according to the aforementioned criteria.
