Gamers Glossary: Eurogames

Eurogame:
Term for a type of game, originating traditionally in Germany or Europe, characterised by simpler, easy to learn rules with shorter game play times and no player elimination. The theme is frequently less dominant in the design than in Ameritrash games and games rely more on strategy and skill than in dice rolling or random factors.
(Classic examples of the Eurogame style are the Ticket To Ride games and Carcassonne)
