Listen "Episode 024 - What Makes A Game Replayable?"
Episode Synopsis
It’s game night. Your friends are all gathered around and you stare in wonder and excitement at your shelf of games. What are you going to play? An old favorite or the new and shiny hotness?
Come to think of it, you’ve played your old favorite 20 times but you still want to play it more. Why? What makes that game repayable? Good question (or at least we thought so)!
This week on the show Evan, Robert and Steve talk all things reliability. What makes the games we love hit the table again and again and why are some just a two or three hit wonder?
