weight 
On BGG, 'Weight' is defined as a game's "'Complexity' Rating".
By definition, 'complex' means "a whole made up of complicated or interrelated parts" (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/complex).
Factors that affect a game's weight include:
- Amount of rules
- Gameplay length
- Amount of luck
- Technical skill required (math, planning, reading, etc.)
- Amount of choices available
- Amount of bookkeeping
- Level of difficulty
BGG uses a 5-point Weight scale:
- Light (1)
- Medium Light (2)
- Medium (3)
- Medium Heavy (4)
- Heavy (5)
Weight is part of the rating system.
