There are many axis in games. Symmetric <-> Asymmetric Hidden information <-> All information public. Cooperative <-> Full Competitive Fiddly / Tons of Rules <-> Simple Abstract <-> Deeply Thematic Stochastic <-> Deterministic Interaction <-> Disassociated And several more. I personally like asymmetric, some hidden information, possibly a traitor, competitive, fiddly, thematic, a little stochasticity, and interactive. And, hence I feel that Dune by Avalon Hill is the best game ever. In general the discussion between Euro and Ameri games is two large potential clusters of styles liked by gamers.
