Core Game Terms

Game Type

A game type is a broad category used to organize educational game content. It helps readers understand where a topic fits before reading detailed rule explanations.

Rule

A rule is a structured explanation of how a game concept works. In Fathom and Frame content, rules should be explained for educational clarity only.

Feature

A feature is an attribute used to describe a game concept, such as format, pace, terminology, or learning focus. Features should not be presented as advantages or guarantees.

Overview

An overview is a high-level introduction to a game topic. It should explain purpose, terminology, and related reading without giving strategy advice.

Learning Note

A learning note is a short explanation that helps readers understand a concept, limitation, or term. Learning notes should be neutral and should not encourage action.

Limitation

A limitation explains what the article does not cover or what may vary by format. Limitations help prevent content from implying more certainty than the facts support.
