Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Notability
In general, board games are products and should follow WP:GNG, with a nod towards WP:PRODUCT.
As a rule of thumb, reviews in at least two reliable sources (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Reliable sources) show notability. Such reviews should meet WP:SIGCOV, i.e. be at least several paragraphs long to be "in-depth".
Notable Games Awards
[edit]Winning one of these awards generally indicates that it is one reference counting towards GNG. Note that this is an incomplete list, other game awards with their own Wikipedia articles (meeting relevant notability guidelines) are also considered to indicate notability. Nominations for such awards count for much, although such facts can also be mentioned in the description of a game.
