ClaG. Una classificazione dei giochi per ludoteche e biblioteche

The paper presents ClaG, a novel faceted classification system for plays and games, whose primary goal is to serve as a practical tool for the selection, research, identification, and delivery of a game, or a set of games, to a player or group of players using a game library or a library with a game collection. The identification of the main relevant concepts was based on a top-down strategy (i.e. identification of general concepts from specialized literature) and a bottom-up strategy, involving the recursive application and modification of these concepts to classify a set of 200 games (mainly table and board games). The facets of Clag (space, materials, setting, game outcome, genre and age) are presented and a sample of classification Table is provided
