Classification according to equipment used[edit]
Tabletop games can be classified according to the general form, or equipment utilized:[3]
| Game category | Game examples |
|---|---|
| Board games | Adventure board games, Adventure gamebooks, Backgammon, Can't Stop, Chess, German-style board games, Go, Reversi |
| Card games | Solitaire, Collectible card games, Hanafuda, Tarot card games, Poker |
| Dice games | Bunco, Craps, Farkle, Generala, Poker dice, Sic bo, Yahtzee, Zombie Dice |
| Paper and pencil games | Battleship, Connect 5, Dots and Boxes, Hangman, Sprouts, Sudoku |
| Tabletop role-playing games | Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay |
| Strategy games | Wargames, Government simulation games, Miniatures games |
| Tile-based games | 15 puzzle, Anagrams, Dominoes, Mahjong, Mahjong solitaire, Tangrams |
Games like chess and draughts are examples of games belonging to the board game category. Other games, however, use various attributes and cannot be classified unambiguously (e.g. Monopoly utilises a board as well as dice and cards).
For several of these categories there are sub-categories and even sub-sub-categories or genres. For instance, German-style board games, board wargames, and Roll-and-move games are all types of board games that differ markedly in style and general interest.
Classification according to elements of chance[edit]
As an alternative to classifying games by equipment, they can also be classified according to the elements of chance involved.In game theory, two fundamentally different elements of chance can play a role:
- Chance due to outcome uncertainty, e.g. due to dice rolls or due to unknown cards being dealt during the game. Games in which outcome uncertainty plays a role are referred to as stochastic games as opposed to deterministic games.
- Chance due to state uncertainty, e.g. due to the opponent's position or cards not being visible, or due to the simultaneous move character of the game. Games in which state uncertainty plays a role are referred to as partial or imperfect information games as opposed to full or perfect information games.
