| Jan 23, 2018 at 3:52 | comment | added | Nij | Poker. Roulette. Blackjack. There's three games that you would require knowledge of, to answer potential legal questions. Then add any variants and any games that are played in casinos. Such games are often legally defined, so knowledge of game process is absolutely key to answering the legal question. The criticism is not legitimate. @KenHerbert | |

| Jan 22, 2018 at 23:53 | comment | added | Cascabel Mod | @KenHerbert Fortunately I think the meta question of whether the two categories are on topic is answerable without worrying about whether you ever need to know anything about the game in order to answer the actual legal question. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 23:40 | comment | added | Ken Herbert | I think you misunderstand my meaning. I am saying that I don't believe there is a real world situation where a legal question would actually require knowledge of a game to answer - it doesn't stop people thinking that as they write a question. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 15:19 | comment | added | Rainbolt | @KenHerbert Who said you can't? Users can absolutely ask questions that only span a single topic, but that doesn't mean they will. I listed two categories of questions, not because I think both are necessary and good, but because they exist. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 4:31 | comment | added | Ken Herbert | "Legal questions that require knowledge of a board or card game to answer" - I find it hard to believe there could be situations where you need to know a board/card game to interpret the law. Why can't you just describe the situation with enough detail such that knowledge of the game is optional? | |
