A Note on Game Complexity
On each game listing you will find a Complexity rating. This is a number out of 5 and is based on ratings taken from the game fan site, BoardGameGeek, and our own assessments.
The complexity rating indicates how difficult the game will be to learn and master.
General Guide to Complexity Ratings:
1 - Light - Most children's games and easy party games (e.g the traditional card game, Snap)
2 - Light/Medium - strategy games with not too much depth and some element of luck; Most family games.
3 - Medium - More difficult strategy games
4 - Medium/Heavy - Much more complex games (e.g Chess)
5 - Heavy - Real brain-burners; strategy games with many factors to take into account
Most people should be able to pick up a play a game of complexity 1 or 2.
Complexity 3 will take a little more effort and is usually best if you have played some easier games before and are familiar with the mechanics often used.
Game of complexity 4 or more are for hardened game enthusiasts.
