What is your favorite game mechanic?

I really like worker placement and deck building.  If I could find a game that combined both of these with a great theme, I'd be in Heaven.

Worker Placement, but I also love a good dice roller.

Oh man, that's a tough question!

Although, I find that I actually like games that have a combination of mechanics, something that allows players a variety in the game. 

Right now, I really like dice rolling--I love the tactility of the dice, and I like having a sense of randomness. But I also like a more strategic game, even if it's not too "deep"--I love Hive in that sense... yes the arguments around first turn advantage are there, but I don't play it competitively, and I find it fast and fun!

Another mechanic that I love a lot is the "bidding" mechanic. I recently dusted Tikal off and played it with the bidding mechanic for the hexes, and I thought that was a clever way to determine the order of play each round.  

So there's my waffling answer--- ALL THE MECHANICS! heh. 

Ideally, in a unique combination.

My favorite game mechanic is the "branching narrative," where the story's direction and outcome change based on the player's choices. This mechanic is fascinating because it provides a personalized gaming experience, encourages players to think critically about their decisions, and often adds replay value to the game, as players can explore different story paths and endings based on their choices. It's commonly seen in role-playing games and interactive storytelling games.
