Getting started
Understand Game Genres
A genre label describes recurring features, such as exploration, planning or timing. Games often combine several of these features.
Start with the practical details
Look at the actions shown in ordinary play. A strategy title might emphasize resource planning, positioning or negotiations.
Make the plan flexible
Compare two games with the same label and note what feels different. The specific activity often matters more than the category.
Try this on your next trip
Use the words that describe your favorite actions when looking for similar games.
