They further relate:
In a family you usually prefer harmony to competition, thus "family game" is a very precise term.
I'm dying
as someone who grew up with extremely, brutally vicious "family games" like monopoly??? oh my GOD what a cultural divide!!!!
"one guaranteed hour of family harmony". put that on a sticker on the box!
So what is a Eurogame? I'd never heard the phrase, and looking it up is giving a few different categories of results. What are we talking about here? Cuz I'm up for games. Oh boy, I wish I had a harmonious family game thing in my life, for sure!
Usually victory point based games, with limited player interaction (non-direct, or more about "stealing" resources than straight up attacking)
Yeah Catan was one of the first Euros to get big. I think canonically stuff like Carcasonne, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride, and even the original Brass (now published as Brass Lancanshire) would all fit the bill.
also notable is using icons over text, suitable for international distribution with only changes to the box and manual
yeah i don’t think he meant monopoly, the game that is supposed to make you angry at capitalism 😂 it’s insane it’s a “family game” in the US
yeah [i agree with the op,] i don’t think [the german commenter would ever imagine for family games to include] monopoly, the game that is supposed to make you angry at capitalism 😂 [it is quite the cultural divide because] it’s insane [monopoly is] considered a “family game” in the US [despite it being recognized a source of contention and arguments]
hope that helps
