Categories of Games (Weapons)

Here is a list of applicable games based on weapon type.

Grenade (Party / Casual Games)
A game that qualifies for the Grenade category is designed to be played as a casual entertainment at a party-style gathering. These games will typically include six or more players and be simple card or dice games, sometimes with simple boards or other play aids. Casual games require very little setup, and are often humorous or lighthearted in theme.

BGG keywords often associated with Grenade category: card game, party game, trivia, word game, humor, music, real-time.

EXAMPLES: Cards Against Humanity, Munchkin (multiple versions), Scene-It! (multiple versions), Twister, and Zombie Dice.

Disruptor (Family Games / Traditional Games)
Disruptor games are found on nearly every family game shelf. These games can be children’s games—Chutes & Ladders, Operation, and Mouse Trap—or adult games like Monopoly, Scrabble, or Mille Bornes. If the game is a children’s game (suggested age of 12 or less) or a mass-market family game, it belongs in this category. Most games by mass manufacturers like Milton Bradley would belong here. These games are usually a bit more involved than a party game, and take a bit more attention than a party game would because of more complex rules or the normal attention span of the children demographic. These games tend to be lighter in rules and subject matter than those found in any other category save Grenade.
