CMON Feature Friday: Money in Games

One the most commonly used resources in board games is money. Currency of some kind plays an important role in the economic flow of the game. Sometimes it’s used to purchase or bid for resources, cards, buildings, turn order, or countless other things. Often the money in the game represents the points themselves. No matter it’s use, there’s quite a variety in the way different games approach currency.

A few weeks ago for CMON Feature Friday, we took a look at dice and how they’ve played a role in gaming. This week, we’re looking at different representations and uses for money in games.
