'''Encyclopedia Gamia''' – ''The Gaming Wiki'', also known as '''Gameinfo Wiki''', is a {{tag|Wikia}} {{tag|video games}} [[wiki]], which aims to have information on every game ever created, especially computer {{tag|games}}, but not excluding other genres such as board games, card games, and even {{tag|sport}}.

The reason for including these other forms of games is that many computer games are often a form of these other kinds of games. For instance, there are many computer and console games about American football and {{tag|basketball}}, so why not give them their own sections?
