Glossary Entry: Busywork
Definition
Busywork is any unnecessary and overly tedious action that takes up time for no real gain. Like filler, the only thing this adds to a game is the amount of time it takes to complete an action - it's just extra work that keeps you busy.
When players notice that a game is padded with busywork, they often go find something else to play.
