It currently says:<BR/><BR/><I>...any article about the board and/or card game industry, such as promotional, informational, or advocacy...</I><BR/><BR/>To me, that doesn't really cover game analysis. Maybe it should be something like "... any article covering broad topics of general interest to gamers, such as game industry coverage, boardgame advocacy, game or game system analysis ...

So analysis articles would go in there, if they are really not about strategy or reviews.<BR/><BR/>Please give me a better name for the award and I'll correct it. I could also split it, if it's necessary.<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehudahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1166123267045086462006-12-14T11:07:00.000-08:002006-12-14T11:07:00.000-08:00Well, speaking for my own site, The Journal of Boardgame Design, every article is a piece of analysis, but none are reviews, strategy, or industry-related. Arguably my piece on Ticket to Ride is a review - but that wasn't really what it was intended as. It was really more a case example of what makes a good game work well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1166122781318317872006-12-14T11:06:00.000-08:002006-12-14T11:06:00.000-08:00<I>Isn't an analysis one of either a review or a strategy article?</I><BR/><BR/>I don't think it is; take for example Shannon's article on this blog relating to mathematics in games. In it he breaks down two games and focuses particularly on certain numerical aspects. So it isn't a review essentially and is definitely not about strategy - it must be analysis.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Chris's analysis is frequently more direct (appertaining to a particular game) than Shannon's general analyses (comparing the same aspect of different games).Fellonmyheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14138454253813433739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1166098971664217622006-12-14T04:22:00.000-08:002006-12-14T04:22:00.000-08:00Chris: Isn't an analysis one of either a review or a strategy article?<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehudahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1166052823035995202006-12-13T15:33:00.000-08:002006-12-13T15:33:00.000-08:00This may be a little self-interested, because it's the sort of article I like (and write), but I'd like to see a category for 'analysis' articles.
