Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game Mechanics in Board Games
Introduction to the Mechanics
Scenario, mission, or campaign mechanics in board games refer to a structured way games unfold through a series of linked gameplay sessions. These mechanics are often used to create a progressive storyline or a set of objectives that players must complete.
Key Features
- Scenario: A specific situation or challenge that players encounter, often with unique rules or objectives.
- Mission: Tasks or objectives given to players that usually contribute to a larger campaign.
- Campaign: A series of connected scenarios or missions that create a cohesive narrative or set of experiences.
How They Enhance Gameplay
- Narrative Development: Allows for a story to be told throughout the game, providing depth and context.
- Progression and Growth: Characters or teams can develop, unlocking new abilities or items.
- Replayability: Different scenarios and decisions can lead to multiple playthroughs with different outcomes.
- Player Investment: Encourages players to become more invested in the game due to continuity and development.
Common Examples
- Gloomhaven: A cooperative campaign-driven game with an evolving narrative.
- Pandemic Legacy: Incorporates a storyline that changes the game permanently over campaign play.
- Arkham Horror: The Card Game: Offers scenario packs that form a narrative campaign.
Appeal to Players
These mechanics attract players who enjoy storytelling, strategic planning, and seeing the long-term consequences of their actions. They combine the excitement of a new challenge with the satisfaction of seeing a story unfold and their choices play out over time.
Conclusion
Scenario, mission, and campaign mechanics provide a unique and engaging way to experience board games, appealing to players who enjoy depth, narrative, and evolution in their gameplay.
