That's awesome, Christy. It *does* seem like a good topic for the wiki, in
the sense that people who are experts in one game or another will be able
to talk about the activities involved in that particular game. I could
help out with moving it to the Wiki if you need some "grunt HTML/Wiki-code"
work done. ;)

Though, I have to be honest, I look at that chart and I think "So how can I
create a game that fills in some of these empty categories?". Hmmm...
