:-) Indeed it's sometimes confusing. Those games are often categorized
as "logic games" or "puzzle games" and you will almost always find them
under the same sections in your Debian or Freedesktop menu. I agree
that's a broad field. The same goes for arcade games where you can find
shoot'em ups, platform and sport games all under the same main category.

Ok. As I said I have to think about how many metapackages we want and
how fine-grained they should be. Perhaps I'm going to install »rolldice«
again and let Fortuna decide... ;)
