Listen "Episode 24 Theme vs Mechanics in Board Games"
Episode Synopsis
In this weeks episode we're delighted to be joined by two guests, Tom and Eric, in order to help us discuss in more detail one of the terms that we use on the show regularly when discussing board games, specifically "theme-gameplay interaction".
We'll be going in discussion on theme versus gameplay mechanics when it comes to board games, which of the two is more important for each of us and under what context, and exploring what that interaction means to each of us.
If you've got any feedback, comments or questions, stick it in the comments below, we'd love to hear from you. What are your favourite games that show great theme gameplay interaction? DO you prefer highly thematic games or more balanced mechanical designs
