CMON Feature Friday: Gaming Worlds

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about the history of games and how they started as very simple stones, dice, and pawns. They’re mostly what we think of as “abstract games,” today. Abstract games are great. They allow you to get to the meat of the mechanics you’re exploring, but there is definitely something to be said about games with full, rich stories. 

For this week’s CMON Feature Friday, we’re looking at some of the game series that have created their own full storylines. Each time a game in these series is played, it feels like another chapter being told in an ongoing tale. As a player, games like these can carry with them an extra level of importance with the actions that you take. Each room you explore, each roll of the dice, and each battle you fight has an impact that effects more than the game at hand, it impacts the entire series.
