A <i>Game Mechanic</i> is a rule that provides some degree of objectivity in determining the course of events in a game. In the often-referenced game of Cops-and-Robbers, there are no game mechanics and thus resolution to all actions must be determined by negotiation between the players. This produces the famous debate “I shot you!” “No, you didn’t!”. A game mechanic allows this situation to be resolved largely without recourse to debate. | A <i>Game Mechanic</i> is a rule that provides some degree of objectivity in determining the course of events in a game.
