Eurogame
A Eurogame, also called German-style board game, German game, or Euro-style game, is any of a class of tabletop games that generally have simple rules, short to medium playing times, indirect player interaction and abstract physical components.〔(BoardGameGeek Glossary ) Retrieved on October 20th, 2008.〕 Such games emphasize strategy, downplay luck and conflict, lean towards economic rather than military themes, and usually keep all the players in the game until it ends.
Eurogames are sometimes contrasted with American-style board games, which generally involve more luck, conflict, and drama.〔("German recreation: An affinity for rules?" ) ''The Economist'', August 28, 2008.〕 Aficionados (even American ones) sometimes use the term "Ameritrash" to disparage more luck-based games; this is an ironic play on Eurotrash.
Eurogames are usually less abstract than chess, but more abstract than wargames. Likewise, they generally require more thought and planning than party games, such as ''Pictionary'' or ''Trivial Pursuit'', but less than classic strategy games, such as chess and go.
== Definition and variations ==
Not all eurogames are German, and not all eurogames are board games. As a result, various other names have been offered for the class. Eurogame is a common, though still an imprecise, alternative label. Because most of these games feature the name of the designer prominently on the box, they are sometimes known as designer games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=One Retailer's Perspective )〕 Other names include family strategy game and hobby game. Shorter, lighter games in this class are known as gateway games, whereas longer, heavier games are known as gamers' games.
