Meaning of eurojuego by John Rene Plaut

EUROGAME They are thematic board games developed according to a philosophy that, broadly speaking, is characterized by 1 . Greater incidence in the methodology of the game than in its fidelity to the theme, which is sometimes a mere excuse for its creation. The Settlers of Catan, was the first German-style game that in 1995 broke the barriers of the European market. 2 . Promotion of the cooperation of all players in the course of the game, without their early elimination during the game or even implementing mechanisms to promote the possibilities of reintegration or recovery of the most lagging behind. 3 . Duration limited, at most, to a few hours. 4 . Little use of language, in order to facilitate the internationalization of games; they minimize the use of written text (except in the rules), replacing it with symbols and drawings, and avoid the use of the spoken word. 5 . In general, they are of simpler logic than previous games, derived from the Anglo-Saxon school. The name of German is due to the fact that the pioneers in this design philosophy were the German inventors Klaus Teuber, Wolfgang Kramer, Andreas Seyfarth and Reiner Knizia, although among the most outstanding authors also include designers, such as the French Bruno Faidutti or the British Alan R.
