Talking about new and old obscure abstract games
The most important feature of a game is to be a intellectual challenge for regular humans, which brings pleasure to both. A good game continues to be fun and challenging for increasing committed players. [T.Sagme, Meditations]

Most of the early posts about new games came from playtesting and discussions between João Pedro Neto and Bill Taylor. But even before Bill's passing on July 2021, the blog had gradually shifted its focus toward old and obscure two-player abstract board games. The blog will tend to avoid Chess variants and Mancala games, as dedicated sites for those already exist.
Regarding the chronological tags: older games means 1800s-1940s (pre-WW2),
old games means 1950-1989 (pre-video games),
new games means 1990-2005 (at least for now).
