"Wargamers" is close, but of course does not cover high complexity games in other categories. But then they hate all the really heavy complexity recommendations they are given. In my beta testing, I also think there is a bit of an ego thing, where if I say "moderate complexity" vs "any complexity", people feel reluctant to pick moderate complexity (as if they'd be saying they're not real gamers). I realize one could say "heavy" games / gamer, but I think a lot of people misinterpret "heavy" based on their previous game experience (if you look at BGG, some people think Settlers of Catan is a heavy game: more than 5% rate it medium-heavy or heavy!). ASL), but also Through the Ages (although the app / online versions might reduce overhead enough for me to give it a shot), Twilight Imperium, and so on. I think "family gamer" works for games of complexity <= 2.5, and maybe "experienced gamer" for complexity <= 4.0.īut even though I consider myself a pretty experienced modern gamer, complexity 4.0+ is still pretty daunting to me. The reason is I'm building a board game recommendations website and, rather than give complexity numbers (which newbies would be unfamiliar with), I'd rather use a descriptive term. I'm looking for a term for gamers who can handle games of complexity 4.0.
