classification of board games

I have made it my habit to divide the games of my collection in different sections. Depending on the cause and circumstances, I think as soon an appropriate selection of games - how much time and space is available, play the players are excited as (the less, the easier the game should be)?

course there are borderline cases: For example, if the length of a game can be adapted or changed the size, or the rules allow different degrees of complexity. Or a game is easy both-and.

Still, with this system, the selection is much faster than if player does not matter me to introduce point and go through everything.

If you know the division can not keep in mind (and who is that?), Do either of three lists (1 + length rules, 2 length + size, 3 rules + size), or simply giving up the least important category for you - take place when you for example have a huge table, and game nights in any case always with you, renounce the category size.

the way, the game reviews in this blog will use the same classification.


length
Filler: A short little game for in between or loosening of evening games between more complex games. Example: BANG!
Standard: Under normal circumstances, and if all the rules already know, this game takes one to two hours. Example: sparks .
Marathon : play it on the weekend or start time. Either way, you take on the day before anything else. Example: Lord of the Rings - War of the Ring .

rules
Simple : Declared a few minutes, and understood by all at once. Example: train to train Europe .
Accessible : Not too long statement, and go. Short standard summary Solutions (handouts) may be appropriate. Example: stories from 1001 .
complex : A longer explanation is needed, and almost no one will permeate the game right away. Detailed handouts are essential. Example: Marvel Heroes board game .

size
Small : Does not need much space, and can be played almost anywhere. Example: Cash & Guns .
means : A normal table is rich. Example: Illuminati .
United : A really big table is needed - or the floor. Example: Railroad Tycoon .
