They review games like Tiny Towns and Puerto Rico, recalling their experiences with these games. They also cover Tiny Epic Galaxies and Glass Road, highlighting how follow mechanics affect gameplay and strategy. They both debate the balance and fairness of follow mechanics, examining their impact on game length and player experience, and consider whether making them mandatory or optional is more effective.If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you’ll get the next episode delivered directly to you.
