Eurogames, AKA “German-style” board games, are a class of tabletop games that generally:
Eurogames started to appear in Germany in the 1960s. Games like Acquire became popular in postwar Germany because they de-emphasized combat and warfare as main components of tabletop games.
In the late 70s and early 80s, Europe was placing more and more cultural emphasis on design, and the genre began to spread to other countries, such as France and Sweden.
In 1995, German game designer Klaus Teuber created Die Siedler von Catan (“The Settlers of Catan”). It quickly became the most popular Eurogame of the time, and it pioneered the success of the genre outside of Europe.
