FAQs

What qualifies a game for the Dexterity and Physical Skill Games category?

Games decided by physical coordination, balance or fine motor control belong here, rather than by strategy or chance.

Dexterity and Physical Skill Games covers games won through manual or physical skill rather than strategy or chance, such as Carrom, Jenga, Marbles and Twister. Any game decided by physical coordination, balance or fine motor control belongs here, while games of mental strategy or chance with a similarly casual character are grouped instead under the appropriate strategy or chance family.
