Cart - Games

In gaming, the cart transcends its utilitarian role as a transport device. It serves as a core gameplay loop in resource management and base-building titles, where gathering and hauling materials is central. Symbolically, it often represents progress, burden, or the player's capacity for accumulation. As a design element, it introduces physics-based puzzles, strategic inventory management, and a tangible sense of weight and momentum. From the humble minecart to elaborate fantasy wagons, it grounds fantastical worlds in a relatable mechanic of conveyance and collection.
