    Episode 168 - The Decision Space Jam

    This week we discuss the Decision Space Jam, a game design jam run in our podcast community. All the games discussed are available to print and play for free here, including Jake's own game Soul Power (a roll and write a game that plays in just 12 quick rolls). If any games discussed sound interesting, I highly recommend checking them out for yourself!

    Episode Description (Generated with Podbean AI)

    Join us on this week's episode of the Interdecisional Spaceships podcast where we delve into the Decision Space Jam, a game design challenge hosted within our community. This episode gives listeners an insight into our experience of developing games, playtesting, and managing a game design jam. Tune in to hear about creative processes, practical tips, and a detailed discussion of two community favorite games.

    Our episode offers a sneak peek into the winning entries and the unique thematic and mechanical considerations that went into their design. From world exploration and scavenging to factory production and thrilling boss fights, these community-generated games promise something for everyone. We also discuss the complexities involved in writing a game's rulebook and ensuring the game is captivating despite time constraints.

    We highlight the role of a well-crafted rulebook and the significance of clean graphic design. We also explore how unpredictable elements like dice outcomes can lead to a variety of gameplay routes. The episode features a spotlight on two community favorites - Arrival and Street Organist. These games demonstrate how unique gameplay mechanisms and smart design can provide immersive gameplay experiences.

    The episode concludes with a discussion on the outcome of the inaugural Decision Space Jam, expressing our thrill over the high level of collaboration and creativity displayed in the entries. We also discuss future plans for the jam, including ideas to encourage deeper feedback and collaboration. Whether you are a participant of the jam, interested in game design, or a board game enthusiast, this episode promises an engaging insight into game design challenges, innovations, and aspirations within our community.

    Holy geek! Decision Space has been nominated for a Golden Geek award again. Thank you all so much for voting, truly. With that out of the way, this week we are giving Quantum our traditional Decision Space deep dive treatment. We will explore why the game's efficient use of dice feels simultaneously, foundational, thematic, and efficient. We also talk about end-game dynamics, if this space game feels like chess, special powers, and so much more. Interdecisional Spaceship travellers, join us in the magic circle and let's explore Quantum!

    Episode 165 - Revisiting Games

    Golden Geek, Golden Geek, Golden Geek! That's right, it's pledge week here on Decision Space. Please consider nominating us for best podcast in the golden geek awards on BGG. In this week's episode. Jake and Brendan talk about revisiting games. What causes us to dust off and revisit a game after it has been on the shelf for some time? Are there some qualities that make a game more revisitable than others? Is revisitability even a word? Don't answer that last question. After an initial discussion, Jake and Brendan dive into some games that they have been revisiting lately and there experiences with them. Enjoy, Decisionaughts, and ask yourself, did I do my part... to nominate Decision Space for a golden geek award.

    Episode 156 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Player Interaction

    Jake has a lot on his mind after some recent turbulence at his weekly game night. The culprit? Player interaction. The result is this episode. Brendan and Jake talk for an hour about all forms of player interaction, invent a new quadrant to map types of player interaction, and hopefully provide some therapeutic listening to the Interdecisional Spaceship passengers who have also been on the wrong side of a board game beat down.

    Episode 155 - The Resistance

    At long last, we are deep diving the resistance the first and only social deduction game we've covered on this podcast. Because the game is so different from other things we've covered, you should expect a different kind of conversation. You can trust me y'all. Seriously, please trust me!

    Episode 154 - Roll and Write

    Trying something new here. This week we explore not, not two, but all of the roll and write games. That's right, we're taking on the whole roll and write genre. What types of decisions are found in these games, what does the genre do well, and maybe what is better left served by other core mechanisms? We hope you enjoy this episode, fellow decisionaughts!

    Episode 151 - The Future of Decision Space

    The future is now. We've conquered the first 150 episodes (I still can't believe that number) of Decision Space, and so we set our Interdecisional Spaceship on course for a new frontier. While long-time listeners will notice some passing similarities to our mission planning episode, this episode feels a little different. We unpack what we've done with the show thus far, our goals moving forward, and only end by sharing a few games we hope to cover in the year ahead. I hope you travelers enjoy this honest conversation (if at times a little naval gazing) about our show.
