OFPG Endorsed Games as seen on The Review Show series
This year we have updated and streamlined our rating system. Each family member who has played the game will give it rating of 1 - 5.
1 = The game is not for me.
2 = Has some good ideas, but not something I want to revisit.
3 = Solid game. I would reply it if asked, but only if asked.
4 = Really good game! I would definitely recommend and replay.
5 = Excellent game! Strongly recommend. Must keep in our collection of games.
To receive the coveted OFPG Endorsement, a game must earn a rating of 4 or 5 from every family member who played it. If even one person gives the game a rating below 4, it will not receive an endorsement.
