A game based on a movie, book, or some other source material. It's also an administrative category on [[MafiaScum]], which includes both Theme Games and [[Experimental Game]]s.
A '''Theme game''' (or '''themed game''') is a game that is designed around a particular source flavor. Alternatively, it may be themed around a given set of [[mechanics]].  


[[Norinel]]'s rule of thumb for distinguishing whether or not a game falls into the administrative category is if anything has to be explained in advance besides the standard [[rules]], it's themed. This isn't a perfect definition, as what has to be explained in advance is everything that is outside of the definition of [[Normal Game]], so it sort of reduces to "A Theme Game is a game that does not follow the definition of a [[Normal Game]]." Lots of people like its simplicity, though.
Perhaps the best definition of a themed game is that it is not a [[Normal]] game.
