    How much do you know about board games?

    What is a 'catch-up mechanism' and what is its main risk?

    Answers

    A system that helps the laggard; can reduce merit and create a rubber effectCorrect
    A rule for faster shuffling; can be tiring
    An expansion; can break the balance
    Just variant; can lengthen

    Comeback mechanisms balance games, but if they are too strong they discourage playing well at the beginning and can reward suboptimal decisions.
