Exclude: Here one registers exceptions for the production of the Hauptgameliste. If one liked to have for example no Japanese plays in its Hauptgameliste, simply `Japan' to register there.

Naming 1-4

Way such as MaLa the file names of the Definables deduces. Thus it is possible the number of players to indicate the kind of the CONTROLLER or also the category of the play as picture.

MaLa replaces all indications, which may not occur in a file name, by one underlined `_'. Examples: ' 4P old/2P sim' → `4P old _ 2P sim' ' Tabletop/Mahjong *Mature*' → `Tabletop _ Mahjong _Mature_' '???' → `___'
