I recently took part in a simulation game where you produce a product and then had to sell for maximum value. The competition was won on paper, after which the line this game then typed into a computer, which calculated the results.
What does this have to do with board games? Good stuff. But first, just continue the business game.
My team was almost bankrupt after the first round. Our plan - high product quality, high price - did not work.
Suddenly, inspiration: forget all the trappings. Consider the game plan for what it is - a juggling with numbers. And that meant the end: to produce as much of what low production costs means. Any other strategy has been punished by the system.
We did not win, this was the beginning too weak, but suddenly, our results were competitive (at least if you include the very poor start). The crucial difference for our team before we have done so, as if we were actually on the market operates, the turning point came when we considered the game as a game.
Similar to this game plan can proceed even at board games: beware of not the setting, the story on the topic - think about just how the game works on which procedure mechanically play the effects. Short: try to penetrate the mechanics. will increase your chances of winning.
The more abstract the game, the more obvious this approach. And win, clearly, we all want. But where does the fun and begin the analysis? Can excessive analysis "destroy" the game?
this raises another question: why do you play that game? But the results really too far ...
