I think any fan developed brick-based or brick-inspired game would be
approriate to include. It would give us more options on what to bring to
events, and also attract a bigger group (which I know may or may not be good).
> - does it cover official games (such as LEGO Creator)
It could. I wouldn't mind seeing that official racecar board game at a Con.
It would be good especially for the younger players (as in children).
Although I could live without the official games just as easily, given that
we are not out to represent TLC, and the fan-built games tend to be more
involving for an older audience.
> - does it cover computer games
Same answer as the previous. It could, but doesn't need to. Are there any
non-official brick-based PC games?
> - should it be international or US
International is good to bring everyone together. If there is a big enough
following, people could branch off and start sub-groups locally. But if
there is not that big of a following then at least everyone can keep in
touch online and share plans for meetings and Cons.

I think it is nice to at least have an easy abbreviation (like LTC) but it
need not be an acronym that spells a word. Avoiding the actual word Lego is
fine if you want, but I would argue we should alternatively include the word
Plastic, or Brick, or Plastic Brick so that non-AFOLs at Cons have a clue
what a game is about.
