Listen "Decision Space (What We Talk About)"
Episode Synopsis
Decision Space is a board game podcast about the decisions in games.
Episode Three
This is our very first discussion topic show! We are calling these our "What We Talk About" episodes, which will pop up every third episode or so. In this week's episode, you'll hear what we (Brendan and Jake) talk about when we talk about decision space.
No. We aren't talking about the show itself. We are trying to define the term "decision space" in the context of board gaming.
The term is ubiquitous in our hobby, but not so easily defined. We try to do just that and also think through the different factors that contribute to the size and texture of any given "decision space." We also discuss whether there is any value in trying to put any given decision space on a scale from 1-100... or should that scale look like a parabola? If you aren't confused yet, you will be!
Look Ahead
On Next week's episode, we will discuss Res Arcana by Tom Lehmann. You can play Res Arcana online on Board Game Arena.
Call to Action
We are still desperate to hear your feedback. We can be reached on Twitter at @jakefryd and @burnsidebh. Or you can be the very first to follow Decision Space on Twitter @DecisionSpa and talk to us there! What did you think about the episode? Let us know. If you are enjoyed the show, what the heck, throw us a "follow" and a "like" to help us grow.
