Outside the Scope of BGG

Hey everyone! If you've ever come across a game that doesn't quite fit into any specific box but still offers that fun factor, it's likely categorized as 'Outside the Scope of BGG'. Think of it this way: BoardGameGeek has a very specific way of defining what a board game is, and this entry is for anything that slightly deviates from that rule. You know those games involving ring toss, bocce ball, or even a more elaborate game of croquet? Or those super challenging solo puzzles that keep you thinking for hours? Yep, all of that falls under this umbrella. It also includes parlor games like air hockey and foosball, which are more focused on physical dexterity. Even some board games that have been adapted into video games or are structured activities without a clear winner, like truth or dare games, end up here. The goal is to cover a broad spectrum of playful activities that don't perfectly fit the stricter definitions. It's the place to log that unique garden game, the logic puzzle you assembled on a trip, or even that DVD version of a game show. Basically, if it's not a classic board game with a board and pieces, but it's still something to have fun with and think about, it's very likely to be found here, outside the main scope, but still part of the gaming family.
