Eurogame

Detailed view of the board during Terra Mystica gameplay

A Eurogame, also called a German-style board game, German game, or Euro-style game (generally just referred to as board games in Europe), is a class of tabletop games that generally has complex rules, indirect player interaction, and multiple ways to score points.[1] Eurogames are sometimes contrasted with American-style board games, which generally involve more luck, conflict, and drama.[2] They are usually less abstract than chess or Go, but more abstract than wargames.[citation needed] Likewise, they generally require more thought and planning than party games such as Pictionary or Trivial Pursuit.
