Is this a Sports game? Just curious if that is the right category for it.

Hmm - adventure may be closer. There isn't much else that seems appropriate in the list, unfortunately.

I thought "sport" because it involves the mechanic of manoeuvring past druids in a similar fashion to football.


Link to the board setup-

Place the bars in the same positions as the purple bars shown in this diagram

Place the druids on the red circled inner stones

It is a single player game, right? Would puzzle fit that?

Well at least you manage to add a game that hasn't had a category for it yet. Would puzzle fit? I believe, when in doubt, pick the category that has the least amount of games for it.

Nah, it's too random to be a puzzle game. Puzzle to me means some kind of logic and puzzle solving skills are a high priority. Would you regard Klondike or the card based solitaire games as puzzle games?

I do think that luck is a bigger factor than skill for this one.

Let's say someone does a Klondike game using the Stonehenge cards (I did Freecelt as Freecell ported over). What would it be classified as? It certainly isn't abstract strategy, because it has strategy. I believe if a game is consistently beatable single player, it is a puzzle game. Freecelt, while randomized, got put in the puzzle category for that reason.
