Welcome to the Board and table games WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of board and tabletop games.

This WikiProject encompasses all things related to Board game, Tabletop game, Card game, Domino game, and Dice game including board game designers, publishers, and other related media that is directly related to their board/tabletop/card/domino/dice game counterparts.

This WikiProject seeks to unify the article formatting on all articles relating to notable board games, tabletop games, board game designers, and publishers.

The long-term goals for this WikiProject are as follows:

1. Further refine the style guidelines for articles under this project's scope.
2. Ensure that all articles under this project's scope adhere to the guidelines and Wikipedia policies, most importantly WP:NPOV and WP:NOR where appropriate.
3. Create a notability guide with more specific criteria for inclusion of board and table games: Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Notability
4. Ensure that all notable subjects under this project's scope are covered on Wikipedia.
