Example prompt: Can you compare Wingspan, Everdell, and Viticulture head-to-head on mechanics, complexity, and replayability — I want to know which one is best for a group of adults who are intermediate players looking for a nature-themed Euro game?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user is deciding between specific named board game titles and needs a structured, opinionated comparison rather than a general recommendation. Ideal when the user already has 2–4 games in mind and wants a verdict for a particular context (e.g. couples, beginners, competitive players). Prefer this over the general recommendation endpoint when the candidate titles are already known.

## Known failure modes

- Game title not recognized or too obscure — endpoint may return a not-found or low-confidence result
- Fewer than 2 or more than 4 titles provided — request likely rejected or truncated
- Web review sources unavailable for very new or niche titles — verdict may be limited
- Ambiguous game name (e.g. 'Pandemic' could refer to multiple editions) — endpoint may ask for clarification or default to base version

## How this service works

Head-to-head board-game comparison — mechanics, complexity, replayability, and a use-case-specific verdict for 2-4 titles, grounded in current web reviews (never BoardGameGeek data).

## Output

A structured side-by-side comparison of 2–4 board games covering their mechanics, complexity level, replayability, and a verdict tailored to the specified use case or player context, all sourced from current web reviews rather than BoardGameGeek.
