Can we get a category for card games?
I've been looking at how to get a card game that is currently being streamed on twitch by a few people listed in IGDB so that twitch will have it listed as a game.
Currently people are just streaming it under the Magic the Gathering label because you have to pick something and that is card-gamey. But whilst MTG is the largest card game, many other games are seeing success online in various forms.
Whilst pokemon and MTG command the limelight in terms of box openings etc.
There are plenty of people playing other card games virtually over webcam or TTS and streaming them and it seems like there should be an easy way to indicate which one you are playing on twitch.
Otherwise can there be a clear path for how to add these games onto Twitch so people can find us streaming them?

Upvoting this. Currently the IGDB, ran by Twitch, does NOT allow for physical, non-digital games such as collectible card games from being listed or added to the IGDB. As many card game companies are now running and live streaming their events and coverage through Twitch, there should be a method in place to let people stream their events and even communities without having to hijack the listing for the digital equivalent or "Special Events".

And I know there is a generic card games section on Twitch, but there are some up and coming card games that would really benefit from their own separate categories due to the followings they are starting to attract.
