We hear the word all the time, but what is a board game mechanic? And even more importantly, why should you learn the names of the mechanics, especially in games that you like?


Mechanic is one of those lingo words that you hear a lot, "This game has a cool engine builder mechanic" and even if the word isn't used, game mechanics are talked about all the time, even on game boxes - this game is a deck builder, or a bag builder, or a drafting game...so why is it important to know the mechanics of the games you're playing? Can't you play the games without knowing the official name of their game mechanics? We're going to break it all down for you in this Board Game Basics!
