## Definitions

### `games.atplay.game.title`

**Type**: `record`

A game, as distinct from any one release of it. There is one of these per game per developer, and its record key is the game's id — so its AT-URI is a permanent name for the game, which releases point back at (ADR 0037).

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | Yes | What the game is called. |
| `latest` | `ref` → `com.atproto.repo.strongRef` | No | The release players should start new games with. Absent before the first release is published. |
| `attributes` | `ref` → `#attributes` | Yes |  |
| `description` | `string` | No | What the game is, and why somebody might choose to play it. |
| `discoverable` | `boolean` | No | Whether this game should be listed to players by indexers like https://atplay.games |

### `games.atplay.game.title#attributes`

**Type**: `object`

What a player judges a game by when deciding whether to play it. Distinct from `parameters`, which configures a particular game.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `tags` | `array` | Yes | Tags describing the game's style, theme, and mechanics. |
| `skill` | `integer` | Yes | How much of the outcome is determined by player skill rather than chance. 0 = pure luck (e.g. snakes and ladders), 10 = pure skill (e.g. chess, with no random elements). |
| `players` | `array` | Yes | Supported player counts. One element means an exact count (e.g. [2] = exactly two players); two elements mean an inclusive range (e.g. [2, 4] = two to four players); three elements mean a range with the middle number being the recommended number (e.g. [2, 3, 5] = two to five players, plays best with three). |
| `complexity` | `integer` | Yes | Rules and decision-space complexity, equivalent to BoardGameGeek's complexity weighting. 1 = trivial to learn and play, 5 = heavy ruleset with deep strategy. |
