Want to know what google says about this:
board game
ˈbô(ə)rd ˌɡām/
noun
any game played on a board, especially one that involves the movement of pieces on the board, such as chess or checkers.
Look it up if you don’t believe me

In response to post #1:
If you look up “Risk Tournament”, you’ll actually find tournaments. They just probably aren’t as widespread as chess tourneys

Something like...
All dogs are animals
All dogs have hair

That doesn't surprise me.
But years ago when I found out there are Monopoly tournaments, that really surprised me.
Monopoly... a game played by rolling dice and drawing cards. Wow.

Ok, how about
My dog is my pet
All pets are owned animals
Therefore I own my dog
Begging the question!
Even though no one uses that phrase correctly.

I can see how there is strategy, but I was still surprised there are tournaments.
