Ep. 5 - Emergent Storytelling
This week, our topic is "Games That Tell a Story With Their Design and Mechanics". Some games always deliver when it comes to a telling a memorable story. Either the mechanics, gameplay, or design contributes to that developing over the course of the experience. We'll specifically avoid narrative games when sharing a list of our favorite examples of emergent storytelling in board games.

Now is the time for a clever leader to unite them into a powerful alliance, skillfully using the unique talents of each Tribe to control the Kingdoms.
It is the beginning of the Meiji (may-jee) era. Once just a sleepy fishing village, the opening of foreign trade in _______ and the decline of Edo led _______ to become the premier hub of trade in all of Japan.
