@dootlurk Those are good. I can see a lot of crossover value to most major mechanics. I think that system architecture is perhaps one of the biggest things that one can learn from how games are designed.
If you get a chance play Village by Inka and Marcus Brand. -
@irene that one is mad, but the programming analogue is undeniable lol

@piratefox I mentioned Village and
Robo Rally. I think I’ll let some other people mention more. There are tons on. https://boardgamegeek.com
I’ll throw in my favourite. El Grande -
@irene yup, those I have already written down! I’ll also write down El Grande ^^

It is hard to play them and not become a developer that builds increasingly holistically.
