Score Tracks are quite common in Board Games, be it casual Party Games such as Balderdash or Pictionary, or more complex games such as Amun-Re, Carcassonne, Dominant Species, Inca Empire, Egizia, and Ursuppe. They are not so common in Category:Computer Games since players' scores can there be displayed more compactly in their own individual areas of the interface with is updated by the computer as gameplay progresses.

Diegetic Aspects

Building on earlier sources[1], Parlett argues that it "seems intuitively obvious" that the use of Score Tracks led to the development of games with Races[2], both on a gameplay and thematic level.
