About Tatorrami
Tatorrami is an editorial site about board game design and tabletop strategy. It looks at how games are built and how strategy develops inside them, with a Canadian reading of the tabletop tradition.
What this site covers
The writing focuses on three recurring questions: how rule structures hold a game together, how balance keeps more than one strategy worth playing, and how decisions feel at the table when information and chance are involved. Articles use concrete examples rather than general claims, including games with strong Canadian associations such as crokinole.
How the content is made
- Articles are written in plain, informational English without promotional language.
- Examples are drawn from well-documented games and publicly available references.
- Where exact statistics are not verifiable, the text uses neutral wording instead of inventing figures.
- Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under their respective licenses.
Editorial stance
The tone is descriptive. The goal is to explain how a design works and why a strategy holds, not to rank products or push a purchase. Corrections from readers are welcome through the contact form on the home page.
Region
The site is written from Canada, which shapes which examples appear and how local play traditions are described. Crokinole, for instance, is treated as a familiar reference rather than a curiosity.
