Slow death - player elimination in board games (Topic Discussion)

In many modern board games, all players participate until the
very end. Everyone continues to take their turns until the game
has finished and it's time to decide the winner or winners.
That's true for co-operative as well as competitive games. Player
elimination games are very different in that respect. In these
games, some people around the table could be out of the game
early on and end up sitting it out until it's all over. If done
well, player elimination can be a very interesting mechanism in
modern board games. In this article, I want to look at different
ways this mechanism is implemented and discuss how well these
work.
