What are luck-based board games?

Luck-based games use dice, cards, random events, or uncertain outcomes to create suspense. The appeal is not always perfect control; it is the drama of risk, big swings, lucky breaks, and stories that players remember afterward.

Popular luck-based games

King of Tokyo, Camel Up, and Can't Stop are good examples because each turns probability and risk into exciting table moments.
