chance cards

Board game randomizers

Chance cards are a deck of cards in the board game Monopoly that players draw when landing on designated spaces.

Each card instructs the player to pay money, collect money, move to a specific location, or take some other action.

The term sometimes extends to similar random-event mechanics in other games: Life is like a game where you never know what chance card you'll draw next.
