Episode 171 - "Puzzly" Games
I played a game recently that was sooo puzzly. Listener, you may have heard a sentence like this before. You may even understand what that means, but have you ever tried to break down the decision space implications? Believe it or not, that's what we do on this week's episode of Decision Space. Plus, we end with two short board game reviews! Believe in that, interdecisional spaceship travelers. Let's ride!
