Chaining

Introduction

Chaining is a dynamic and strategic board game mechanic that allows players to combine a series of actions or card plays for greater effect.

Definition

Chaining refers to the ability to link multiple game elements together in a single turn or over multiple turns, activating additional actions, bonuses, or combinations that can enhance a player's position or disrupt opponents.

Examples

Popular games like Dominion or Terraforming Mars showcase chaining through card play. Players acquire cards that work well together, creating powerful action chains that are key to winning.

Impact on Gameplay

Chaining significantly affects strategic depth and player engagement. It encourages foresight and careful planning, as players must anticipate and construct potential combos that will optimize their performance within the game.
