There’s a list of terms that grinds my gears in board gaming. The main culprit is ‘sandbox game’ because it can’t be a sandbox and still be a game. Now I’m going to stop because talking about that term makes my blood pressure rise. 😅

‘Multiplayer solitaire’ is second on that list. If there’s people and you’re engaging with them you’re not playing solitaire. The flip side of that coin is when ‘player interaction’ is used to mean ‘take that’ or ‘conflict’ in games.
