Episode 192 - What We Talk About When We Talk About the Five Types of Rules
In this podcast, we've talked a lot about games, mechanisms, and the rules that call these things forth from the page and bring the game to life on our table. We haven't, however, talked a lot about rules themselves, in the what even really are rules, man, kind of way. This is an oversight that we try to correct in this what we talk about episode on the topic. This episode was built around the five types of rules discussed in The Rule Book: The Building Blocks of Play by Jaakko Stenros and Markus Montola. You can buy this book here (not a sponsor).

Episode 188 - Top 10 Games of the '90s
In this episode 3 copilots take on a tall task - rank the top 10 best euro-style board games of the '90s. We try out a wacky new format, it is kind of confusing, but don't worry because Brendan catches on eventually. This episode may be best enjoyed in video format which you can see only on Patreon (free trials are available)!

Episode 186 - What We Talk About When We Talk About the Sweet Spot Mechanic
In this game we talk about the sweet spot mechanic, which is kind of but not quite a jackpot mechanic and an efficiency puzzle! We try to define this term and discuss the games that fit, a conversation that takes us beyond the bounds of the cardboard playing surface.This topic came to us from Geoff Englestein's GameTek blog in the below-mentioned article. You can and should subscribe to the GameTek blog there!GameTek Blog Link:

Episode 18 of Decision Space, originally published May 26, 2021. Join us in the Discord community for the re-listening club discussion.
"In this "What We Talk About Episode" Jake and Brendan discuss signposts in board games. We ask important questions like what are they even? And further, what do they do? To this end, Jake becomes increasingly more confused. Fortunately, we eventually come to some steady footing and draw conclusions about this board game terminology that we believe will lead to even more productive board game discussions moving forward. If that sounds like a good time to you, then good lord and welcome, Decisionaught, you are most definitely in the right place. This is Decision Space!"

Episode 22 of Decision Space, originally published June 23, 2021. Join us in the Discord community for the re-listening club discussion. "Today, friends, feast your ears on one of tastiest point-salad morsels ever served up by the master chef himself, Mr. Stefan Feld. The Castles of Burgundy is a great, great game. Quite possibly the best board game ever made by the tastes of one of our hosts. But why is it so good? What is it about the decision space that makes it an experience so many people want to return to time and time again. We'll try to unravel some of these mysteries in this week's episode of Decision Space. Hop in, there's no time to lose."
