I would also personally use 'Geometry' rather than 'Board'. It's a bit more general.

I think Board is a bit more general, because it can also be used for board size, board dimensions, or other board differences like having terrain.

And a game could be both 3-D and Rectangular, or both 3-D and Hexagonal ...

There is no requirement that a page should get only one child tag with a particular parent. A page could be tagged both Board:3D and Board:Hexagonal, for example. I have been tagging some of my own games with multiple Rules: children tags, which is the same principle.

I have also sped up tagging of similar games by including a copyable string of all the tags a user has added to a page. I have been able to copy and modify strings from one game to quickly tag others.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:
