Tabletop Game Cleanup

Come one, come all! Sit down, take seven tiles, and and collect $200 for passing Go!

Tabletop games have a small, yet sizeable place on the wiki, but despite a long bevvy of games having pages, tropes pertaining to said games have been lacking, which has caused issues with the example sections of their work pages. Many of their example sections are rather short. Further, for healthy and starving pages alike, many examples are either shoehorns or meta-troping. The goal of this thread, therefore, is to clear out the invalid examples and write legitimate ones in their place (plus any other tabletop cleanup not warranting its own thread).

Note that cutting a page outright should be a last resort, even if the example section gets cut down to nothing. Our goal is to find valid tropes to populate the page, and if several games of a similar nature seem to lack applicable tropes, that's probably a sign of a trope needing made.

Let's start with an easy one: Kings has a hearty description, but only three examples. Anyone want to help buff it out?

^{Note to mods} I've been waffling on whether this should go in short-term or long-term projects, but I think the prevalence of these issues is strong enough to outweigh the relatively small namespace. Feel free to move this thread if need be, and likewise, let me know if it's in the right place :)

Bump

Should I make a separate sandbox page for tabletop game cleanup? The Sandbox.Tabletop Game Project page is pretty long, so a separate page would make it easier for people not involved in the creation of new board game pages.

Yes, definitely, absolutely

Here it is. Sorry for taking some time.
