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

This WikiProject encompasses all things related to [[Board game]], [[Tabletop game]], [[Card game]], and [[Dice game]] including board game designers, publishers, and other related media that is directly related to their board/tabletop/card/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:
# Further refine the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Style guide|style guidelines]] for articles under this project's scope.
# Ensure that all articles under this project's scope adhere to the guidelines and [[Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines|Wikipedia policies]], most importantly [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:NOR]] where appropriate.
# Create a [[WP:N|notability]] guide with more specific criteria for inclusion of board and table games: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Notability]]
# Ensure that all notable subjects under this project's scope are covered on Wikipedia.

Here's what you can do apart from what's in the box:
# Find existing articles that can come under the jurisdiction of this project, and label them with the template {{tl|BTGProject}} on their talk pages.
# Label [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub articles]] with {{tl|board-game-stub}}, {{tl|card-game-stub}}, {{tl|CCG-game-stub}}, {{tl|dice-game-stub}}, or {{tl|wargame-stub}} as appropriate. Also not everything in the project is a game, so also consider {{tl|novel-stub}} etc as listed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types#Leisure|here]].
# Rewrite existing articles to follow the [[#style guide|conventions]] described in this project.

Every edit counts! Thank you very much for helping.
