Contracts in Board Games
What Are Contracts?
Contracts in board games are tasks or objectives that players can fulfill to gain rewards. They often require collecting specific resources or combinations thereof.
Gameplay Implications
Contracts add a strategic layer, pushing players to make decisions based on resource management, timing, and prioritizing different actions to maximize their payoff from fulfilling contracts.
Examples
- Ticket to Ride: Players complete routes based on their destination tickets, akin to fulfilling contracts.
