How would you define an eurogame today? Or do you think the distinction has become meaningless?

I don't like the term because it's not descriptive and it's not useful when speaking with more casual players who are not that familiar with the hobby. I'd rather mention the game mechanics, like "resource management".

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
