Interaction zero?

Post by lippoe »

Hi - great news that D&B will be officially out of beta soon! Congrats.

My question is, why is D&B rated as zero interaction? What does "interaction" mean? It seems to me that there is a lot of interaction between the players - each move directly restricts the next player's options, sometimes dramatically. In some sense, some "point salad" games are (or at least can be) less interactive.

Is this just a thing where BGA calls all games that are abstract interaction zero, or was there some other way this was determined? Thanks for any thoughts (or links to other Forum posts).

It means whatever the developer wants it to mean. Bottom line: ignore it.
