Player Count

Player count sorts games by how many people are actually needed on each side. Wikipedia describes association football as "played between two teams of 11 players," a fixed number written directly into the Laws of the Game. This dimension groups games that require the same number of players.

What distinguishes Deduction and Guessing Games from Party and Word Games?

The dividing line is a formal deduction structure, present in Battleship and Cluedo but absent from open-ended party guessing games.

Deduction and Guessing Games covers games won by logically narrowing down hidden information through structured guesses, such as Battleship and Cluedo. Open-ended party guessing games without a formal deduction structure are grouped instead under Party and Word Games, so the dividing line is whether the guessing follows a structured deduction process.
