Episode 574: Games that use movement points
Episode release date is April 2, 2025
Show Notes
This week we are doing a one episode discussion of games that use movement points as a movement. What are movement points you ask? Well, movement points regulate how far a player can move their pieces during the game. For example, players are given a specific number of "points" that can be spent to move game pieces. Different spaces or terrains on the game board may cost varying amounts of movement points to enter. Players may receive a set number of movement points each turn that can be spread across multiple pieces. Those points could fluctuate depending on card draws or dice rolls.
Sometimes movement points can be part of a larger pool of actions, and movement can be part of or one of those actions.
In short, movement points provide a structured way to manage in game movement while adding a tactical element to gameplay.
So let’s make it a point to move to the game table and discuss some games.

Carnegie has some interesting management choices in activating departments to move workers around for various economic functions.
-
Carnegie is definitely a good game, I think it's tough to outcompete some of the newer ones though. It was a popular blip for a sec, then kinda floated down to the lower mid of bgg pack. It's still a good game, solid 7.
-
Maracaibo would also have a choice of action to move your ship a certain distance also for triggering spaces. Not sure if that's totally true movement points, but fairly close
-
The only other ones I can even think of would be troop movement for war games, like War of the Ring/for Arrakis or Axis & Allies.
-
War of the Ring is awesome! Great 2p strategy game.
-
War for Arrakis, same designer, basically the truncated version of War of the Ring in Dune!
