Contested Speedy. This article has very little context and little chance for expansion. I think this article has some problems with WP:NEO, as it seems to give a definition of "race games". There are examples of "race games" but I don't believe this to be encyclopedic. Rjd0060 03:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is not a neologism; 'race game' is an accepted term of board game history. It appears in several board game articles but has not been wikified: E.g. in chaturaji: "However, there is no certainty whether the mentioned game is really a chess-like game like Chaturaji, or a race game like Pachisi." We already have articles for cross and circle game and running-fight game, which are subspecies of this type. It includes some of the oldest attested board games.

• Keep: This is a sound basis for an article and I have added a relevant cite. These annoying deletions are like a notable race game: Snakes and Ladders. Colonel Warden 06:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, classic game type although the name itself is probably 20th or at most 19th century. --Dhartung | Talk 09:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There's a reference and a statement of context and significance. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 02:18, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Bacchiad. This isn't a neologism. --Craw-daddy | T | 18:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Good stub, needs expanding not deleting. --Nate1481( ^t/_c) 11:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but move category and possibly article to Race board games; or expand to cover non-board-games. Percy Snoodle 12:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
