Rating System:
I rate games on my own, incredibly subjective, 5-point scale. The focus is how much I liked (or disliked) the game. While I feel that most games are just OK, there's no scaling to fit some arbitrary distribution. If I like a game I'll say so and if I don't like it I'll say that too, regardless of how many games are in each category.

I love it: This is a really awesome game that I love playing and I want to play over and over and over again. I'll recommend this game to anyone, anytime, anywhere!
I like it: This is a good game and I enjoy playing. I might not want to play it all the time, but it's something I'll try to get others to play if I have the chance. I'll heartily recommend it if people are looking for suggestions.
It's alright: I think this game is OK. Other people will probably enjoy it and I would happily recommend it if I felt it was a good fit for someone else. I'm always willing to play it if others want to, but might not suggest it on my own.
I really don't like it: This is a game I really didn't care for. Whatever it was, this game is just not a fit for me. I'd rather not play it even if someone really wanted to play, but would play if it were someone special asking. I probably wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.
Reviews
I do accept review copies of games. If you're interested in having a game reviewed I'd love for you to contact me: you can use the form on the contact page or email me at womenlikeboardgames@gmail.com. While I prefer to review finished/retail products, I may make an exception for a game with a final prototype if it
seriously sparks my interest.
- I will always post my honest opinion of a game
- I will always follow up with the person who sent me a game to let you know when the review is published and provide links to the review
- Special note regarding Kickstarter games with an upcoming or ongoing campaign: Since the game is not available for retail purchase and is subject to change from the version I receive, my goal is not to convince people to back your game, but to let them know how it plays so they can decide for themselves if it's something they would enjoy. I try not say whether I like the game and will not give it a rating. I call these Kickstarter Overviews to distinguish them from reviews. While it's not required, I do appreciate a final production copy of the game if funded. For me to consider a Kickstarter request, your game must be a final prototype and you must have final rules available. Due to time constraints on my end, I turn down many more requests for Kickstarter games than I accept.
