Campaign Game Genre Overview
A campaign game in board gaming typically refers to a game that contains a progressive series of interlinked sessions, where the outcome of one session affects gameplay in future sessions. These games often have a strong narrative element and are designed to be played over multiple play sessions, creating a continuing storyline.
Key Characteristics:
- Progressive Storyline: The plot unfolds over time, often through multiple game sessions.
- Character Development: Players may develop their characters or game pieces, accumulating skills, items, or story points.
- Permanence of Changes: Decisions or events can lead to permanent changes in the game state, often represented by stickers, written notes, or altered components.
- Player Choices: These games emphasize player decision-making that impacts the direction and outcome of the game.
Examples of Campaign Games:
- Gloomhaven: An epic fantasy adventure game with role-playing elements where players improve their characters over many scenarios.
- Pandemic Legacy: A cooperative board game with a storyline that evolves over games played, with new rules and conditions emerging.
Campaign games are a distinct genre that appeals to gamers looking for immersive and evolving gameplay experiences.
