::There's a number I've played that aren't on the wiki, but are on some bgg lists. Mijnlieff, King's Valley, Quarto, Diam, Gardens of Mars, Rincala, All Queen's Chess, Neutron, Docker etc. There's [[Hey, That's My Fish!]] on the wiki too. The only change required for these is using pyramid instead of other pieces. But you're right; there are many adaptations that are more substantial, for which adaptation is a better word. I'd like to add to the section on the [[Published Games]] page about other unrelated games that can be played with pyramids, but how should they be marked up? Does it matter? --[[User:Eclectics|Eclectics]] ([[User talk:Eclectics|talk]]) 12:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
:::There's no problem at all adding them to the list on the [[Published Games]] page. But if we want to have separate pages like [[Hey, That's My Fish!]] then I would assume they should have infoboxes as well so they show up in the various Browse Games list pages. It is nice to have more details about adapting a game to pyramids than just "you can play X". What if there was a field that marked a game as "Original Design/Designed for Pyramids", "Adaptation/Port", "Variant/Reimplements"? Something along those lines to indicate that a game was originally designed for pyramids, plays exactly the same as some other game but uses pyramids and other components, or if it's based off of another game but has rules changes, any other options? I don't think I would want to mess with the Status field as it would muddy up the meaning of it. Adding another field does mean having to touch each game page, but we're getting to that point anyways to clean up other infobox fields.[[User:Dazeysan|Dazeysan]] ([[User talk:Dazeysan|talk]]) 14:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
