Your Turn: “Fillers” and “Micro games”
Interesting discussion. I like Rich…! ‘s definition between filler and Micro-game. For example, I designed a “filler” game, but it has 130 base cards, so it’s not micro. One of my KS backers termed it, “An opening act”, which I like. (filler has always sounded a bit harsh).
I see what you mean though by the idea that micro-games could trend us all into shorter gaming, but is it lessening the rich gameplay as well? In Love Letter’s case, I am blown away about how well the theme and mechanics play in such a small deck, so I definitely enjoy that game, and I think it plays well. I have yet to see if all the micro-games out there are going to hit on that same level. Let’s hope so.
