Loop
One more turn
You might say: just one more turn
Each turn finishes something and starts something else, so there is always a reason to play the next one.
- What it does
- Keeps players at the game for hours; the genre is known for it.
- Ask
- What will finish next turn, and what will start?
Parts
- Overlapping goals: Short- and long-term goals overlap, so a near-term finish can make the long-term goal more accessible.
Loop: cycle

The turn-based gameplay is key to a series of overlapping mini-goals which usually lead to the same result: a very late night of gaming.
