Euro-style
Old World aesthetic
Euro-style describes board games originating from or influenced by German game design, emphasizing strategy, resource management, and indirect competition over direct conflict or luck.
Players typically build or accumulate things rather than eliminate opponents: Settlers of Catan is a classic Euro-style game.
The style contrasts with American-style games, which tend toward theme-heavy, dice-driven combat.
Also called Eurogame.
