11 months agoI think they are pretty useful. Especially when you use them to filter out by checking (-).
For example, if you are looking for games that play with 7 people but you don’t want to see party games. Or a game about animals, but not a children’s game. Or games set in ancient Rome, but not wargames.
Family games are defined as games that young children and adults can enjoy. For example, Crokinole.
In practice, this category is used for “gateway” games, like Carcassonne.
