I've started categorizing the categories, which should provide some  
of what we need. I've put all of the 1-player, 2-player, etc.  
categories into [[Category:Number of players]], and am trying to do  
this with all of the other types of categories, too.

The ones I can think of are:
Equipment necessary (there's already a category for this)
Number of players
Number of sets or stashes (not sure what to call this, it's called  
"Sets or stashes required" for now, but this seems a little clumsy)
Game weight
Mechanics
Theme

Can anyone else think of any category groups that we might need? And  
if anyone can help out with creating these category groups, the  
categories within them, and sorting  the games into these categories,  
I'd appreciate it. I'm doing some of it now, but it's a big job for  
one person.
