Welcome to the page for the 2022 games tournament.
To begin with we will use this page to have submissions for categories and then games. When it goes live it will be used for results and planning the games.
So to begin with please feel free to reply to this post with your categories for the 2022 tournament. The admins will then pick the ones that will be used.
You may of course submit this information anonymously by not logging in on the site.

Small comment but rather than admins choosing should it not be random draw from ideas suggested here that determines categories can do this live at the club, this removes any bias presuming admins want to play in tournament
Ideas
Rondel games – games based on rondel mechanic per BGG tag
Ancient games – games with BGG ancient tag
Sorry I should have replied. Good idea regarding random draw
A couple more categories:
“Second Chance” – Cancelled 2020 tournament games (Alhambra, Lewis and Clark, Stockpile, Clans of Caledonia, Shipyard)
“Animals” – Either an animal themed game, or a game where animals are a main component.
I’ll start with some categories:
Economic Game
Mafia / Gangster Theme
Category suggestion of Train Themed
I was going to suggest “Pick Up & Deliver” – but Train Themed would do.
Another one: there’s a specific mechanism on BGG called “Push Your Luck”, which covers games where you’re predicting/gambling on when the game will end, when the market will crash etc. Always good entertainment value – unless you’re Paul in last night’s game
Regarding Push your look would you class a game like “Can’t Stop ” in that. Where you keep rolling dice for an outcome but each time you roll you have a chance of wiping out your progress.
This is exactly what push your luck is, similar example would be Incan Gold
I guess so. Though I was really thinking about games like Magnate and Ponzi Scheme, where the crash(es) affect every player. Likewise Stockpile and Bullfrog Goldfield, where the crashes are more localised but still affect multiple players. So maybe the heading should be “Boom & Bust”, or just “Crash!”…
