I don't see any way in which we could talk about them as being on a 'spectrum'. They are simply distinct things, although they obviously share some traits and structure which does justify the top level categorization of 'board game'. Now, maybe you could find a way to incorporate some elements of one board game into another. You can certainly construct some taxonomy within the board game category too, and that might be useful in telling you which board games can likely borrow from each other.</p></blockquote><p></p>
