Zählrunde

Zählrunde is a German term that translates to "counting round" or "counting turn" and is most commonly encountered in the context of board games or card games. It describes a phase within a game where players take turns performing a specific action, usually related to counting or accumulating something. This could involve counting points, collecting resources, or tallying up scores at the end of a round or the entire game. The order of play in a Zählrunde is typically sequential, following the established turn order of the game.

The purpose of a Zählrunde is to ensure fair and systematic accounting of game elements. It prevents disputes over scores or resource allocation by providing a clear and structured process. In many games, the Zählrunde is a distinct phase that occurs after all other actions for a turn or round have been completed. It can also be a recurring event, happening after every player has taken their main turn. The specific mechanics of a Zählrunde can vary greatly depending on the game, from simple one-time score tallies to more complex calculations involving multiple factors. Understanding the Zählrunde is often crucial for mastering a game's strategy and ensuring accurate gameplay.
