Spontaanset
Spontaanset is a term used in the context of board games and tabletop role-playing games to describe a player's decision to act or make a choice without prior deliberation or planning. This often occurs when a player feels compelled to make an immediate move, perhaps due to excitement, perceived opportunity, or a desire to keep the game flowing. Spontaanset can lead to unexpected and sometimes disadvantageous outcomes, as the chosen action may not have been the most strategic or optimal. Conversely, it can also result in surprising successes or memorable moments that deviate from a more calculated approach. The concept is closely related to intuition and instinct within gameplay. It is not a formal rule or mechanic in most games but rather an observation of player behavior. Some players embrace spontanset as a way to add an element of surprise and fun, while others prefer a more methodical and tactical style of play. The prevalence of spontanset can vary greatly depending on the game's complexity, the players' experience levels, and the overall mood of the gaming session. It is often contrasted with deliberate or calculated play.
