GAME mechanics

  • Point-to-Point Movement - This mechanic involves players moving their markers along a predetermined path, usually on a game board. Each turn, you roll a die or draw a card to determine how many squares you advance. This "go to the next point" approach keeps the game dynamic and requires strategy, as each decision directly influences your next move. For example, when planning your move, it's common to think: "Do I advance three squares now, or save my special card for a better time?"
  • Paper and pen - A central element for recording points or relevant information during the match. This mechanic not only organizes essential data such as scores and resources, but also allows for notes that can help with future strategies. Imagine the usefulness of underlining tips that make a difference to the final result. You could be competing for the title of best player, and a simple detail recorded could change the game in your favor.
