A Eurogame, also called a German-style board game, German game, or Euro-style game (generally only referred to as board games in Europe), is a class of tabletop games which generally feature indirect player interaction and lack of player elimination, while providing multiple ways to score points and win. Euro-style games are sometimes contrasted with American-style board games, which generally involve more luck, conflict, and drama. They are less abstract than games like chess or Go and more focused on economic competition than wargames. At the same time, they generally require more thought and planning than party games like Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit.
