This might be my favorite episode we've done yet, and also the most accessible to people outside our hobby board game sphere. Check it out!
Hungry for a new perspective on games?
This week on Decision Space we had the pleasure of speaking to C. Thi Nguyen (@add_hawk) about his book Games: Agency As Art—a delicious, nourishing, and energizing book that will change how you think about games

What a thread from Decision Spaces' own resident game philosopher, @BurnsideBH. I suggest you embark on this interdecisional spaceship 🚀
#boardgames
Games and decisions in games are complex but the way you think about decision spaces doesn't have to be. Here's a 🧵that will challenge the way you think about #boardgames.

As a huge #keyforge fan & former @sanctumonius podcaster, this is my take im giving everywhere.
I'm not interested in playing Archon Alliance, but I LOVE sealed Alliance. Most of all, Im excited to have KeyForge in the hands of an invested team willing to try out new things.
You asked for it. Here it is! Details on our vision of Organized Play for KeyForge competitive tournaments can be found by going here. So GO NOW!

For @GhostGalaxyGam1, my constructed feedback would be, as you continue to explore formats for this incredible game, I'd encourage you to think about ways to pare down deck power level rather than ramp it up.

I was sick while recording this episode, so I really can't be held responsible for my ludological "insights."
#boardgames
In #boardgames, size of a game’s decision space ≠ dept
What makes a decision space ‘large’ or ‘small’? What is a ‘deep’ game? Do deep games have a distinguishing characteristic?
This week’s episode tackles these questions and more!

This was a fun episode!

I had an amazing time at Geekway to the West this weekend. I can't wait to talk about all the games I played on @DecisionSpa this week. Will do mini reviews of Boonlake, Witchstone, Anno 1800, Tenpenny Park, Bonfire and more!
Between two Castles. Honored to be included in @stonemaiergames' April fools gag this year (real product!), with my own signature disc golf disc. These are now prized possesions.
They sold out in minutes, but they are going to order more, so if you want in on the next batch, you can sign up to be notified on the product page: store.stonemaiergames.com/pr…

Episode 60 of Decision Space on digital games.
Did you know that @jakefryd is regularly playing 30 async #boardgames at once?
Well he and Brendan have learned a thing or two about digital play. This week, in episode 60 of the show, we explore everything we’ve learned about games from digital play

Listen to the episode you cowards.
Are you brave or a coward?
In this week’s episode @jakefryd and @BurnsideBH dive into perhaps the best board game ever designed with yomi at its core—Broom Service. Don’t know what “yomi” is, we’ll fill you in ⤵️

I was glad I gave Aquatica another shot after a couple lackluster experiences at 2P. Using the advance goal makes an enormous difference, wow. Also, probably better at 3.

One of the best critics in board gaming. I love that Charlie brings a perspective that sits outside of the general boardgaming hive mind, and always brings different games to my attention. Great list.
Another Top 10! Hopefully we aren't sick of these yet. Here's my selection for best board games of the year: playerelimination.com/2022/0…

How do you feel when you have a lackluster first play of a game and then realize you fundamentally misunderstood a rule after the fact? Happened to me this weekend with Aquatica.

In honor of my @DecisionSpa co-host @BurnsideBH, Bridget and I broke out Kanagawa last night. We played 3 games back to back to back. It's so good. I regret not playing again before the ranking episode.😅
Kanagawa definitely deserves more recognition. #boardgames

This was such a fun experience. Thanks, Tony for having me on!
This is a big one! We review Ankh: Gods of Egypt, and Jake Frydman from @DecisionSpa joins us to discuss The World Series of Board Gaming. #ankhboardgame #worldseriesofboardgaming

I just learned something new in a game of Bruges, currently my favorite game of all time, that I'll need remember to improve my decision making in future games. I absolutely love #boardgames that continue to provide eureka moments, even after many repeated plays.
Lots of giggles from the team on this one.
For the first time on Decision Space, I was the more sleep-deprived host. Take that @BurnsideBH. I'm stealing your bit, and I won't apologize!
