Stacking and Balancing

Stacking in Board Games

Stacking refers to a mechanic where players accumulate game pieces or effects to achieve an objective or gain an advantage. This may be literal, as in physically piling pieces, or figurative, where players combine cards, abilities, or resources.

Balancing in Board Games

Balancing, on the other hand, is the process of ensuring that a game is fair, competitive, and enjoyable for all players. This involves tweaking the game's systems and mechanics so that no single strategy, player, or play style becomes dominant to the exclusion of all others.

Interplay of Stacking and Balancing

The interplay between stacking and balancing can significantly influence game dynamics. Effective balancing is necessary to prevent any 'stack' from becoming too powerful and dominating the game, which would reduce strategic variety and player enjoyment.
