{{Documentation subpage}}

This is an infobox template for a game article. If an italic title is required, add |italic title=yes or |italic title=force to the list of parameters, and use <nowiki>'' ''</nowiki> around the title in the infobox.

If the article is about a [[card game]], you may use {{tl|Infobox card game}}; if the article is about a [[video game]], use {{tl|Infobox video game}} instead.
