Eurogames are /tg/s made by continen/t g/uys or continen/t g/als.

They tend to have an unnatural interest in the subject of buying and selling beans. The rules are almost without exception based on a non-simulationist paradigm, so the mechanics that apply to the Conquest of Feudal Japan could also be used for a Hungry Wolverine Feeding Game. A rather strict formula that can get old very, very quickly. These games tend to suffer from either being considered awesome or unholy pieces of toxic human waste, depending on who's playing them, which means you're going to have to get people together who you know will like what you're about to play, which can be hard and unlike Ameritrash, suffers often for its failure to meet the hyped expectations.

Rules are often easy to learn but difficult to master, leaving many players asking 'why bother'. Some can be fun, but Settlers of Catan should be burnt because, while competently put together, it is terribly overrated. See also Ameritrash, Eurogames direct opposite.
