It?s been said that ?all good things must come to an end.? And it's true! If it wasn?t I would still be in college. But how those good things come to an end can vary wildly - especially in board games!
So how do designers pick a way to end the game? How do those decision change the game feel as a player? Should all games end the same way? Evan, Steve & Robert plan to find out on this week?s show!

Games are full of aids, references and prompts for how to play, but how can a game imply things without being in your face about it?
Forget the player aid, this week Steven, Robert & Evan talk about the implicit rules of the games we love!

A mysterious stranger walks up to you. You are nervous. They present you with a bouquet of roses.
Are you still nervous? Intrigued? Terrified? Romanced?
First impressions can be everything! With board games they can even be the difference between a second play and an unfinished first play? but what makes a first impression impress?
This week on the show, Robert, Evan & Steve along with special guest Nick Murray from Bitewing Games endeavor to find out!

Elegance is a fancy word for fancy people, but does that translate to board games? We?ve heard reviewers use it, we?ve seen the backs of boxes use it and heck, we?ve maybe even used it to describe a favorite game? but what does it actually mean? Better yet? what actually makes that game ?elegant??
Steve, Robert & Evan aim to answer just that on this weeks episode!

It?s game night. Your friends are all gathered around and you stare in wonder and excitement at your shelf of games. What are you going to play? An old favorite or the new and shiny hotness?
Come to think of it, you?ve played your old favorite 20 times but you still want to play it more. Why? What makes that game repayable? Good question (or at least we thought so)!
This week on the show Evan, Robert and Steve talk all things reliability. What makes the games we love hit the table again and again and why are some just a two or three hit wonder?

But why is that? Why is there a stigma around luck in games? Should there be? Is luck a boon in game design or a bust?
Join Robert, Steve and Evan as they roll the dice on how we perceive luck in games!

This is certainly sounds like a weird philosophical question the Cardboard Philosophy boys would tackle?
Join Steve, Robert and Evan as they discover that classifying games by genre is sometimes easier said than done!

Board games are basically just paper video games? right? RIGHT?
While I don?t think anyone will agree with that, I think we can all agree that there sure are a lot of board game adaptations of video games floating around these days!
Why? And more importantly, what makes them work? What separates video games from board games? Evan, Robert and Steve aim to find out!

Board game rules are all made up! It?s true! I read about that in a rule book once.
But how arbitrary are those made up rules? Are some rules more inherently intuitive and less arbitrarily than others? What makes those other rules feel arbitrary?
This is certainly sounds like a weird philosophical question the CP boys would tackle? and would you believe it? This week they do!
Join Robert, Steve and Evan as we get into the nitty gritty of what feel arbitrary in rules!

Art is everywhere! From the screen on your phone to the paintings in a museum. It?s also all over the board games we know and love! It?s also more than just something pretty to look at? but how far can art in board games take us? How much does it effect our enjoyment of the game? Can there be too much of it?
This is a big subject, so who better to pull onto the show than our friend Peter McPherson (Fit to Print, Tiny Towns)?
Join Robert, Steve, Evan and Pete as we dive into all things art on this week?s show!

We?ve all been there. Everyone sitting down to dive into a board game, excited at the prospects before us. After 3.5 hours the dreaded sentence is uttered ?this game is too long.? But what makes something too long? What makes it too short?
This week on the show, Steven, Evan and Robert aim to find out!

From the flip of a card to the roll of a die, there is a lot of randomness in games! But is all randomness created equally? Why do some things feel more random than others? Is one form of random number generation better than another?
This week on the show: Steve, Robert and Evan are getting random and diving deep into all the nitty gritty of what makes generating random numbers tick! And, most importantly, what makes them fun!

What is the perfect box size? Why so much empty space and are boxes really the optimal way to store games? All of that and so much more on this week?s show!

Game weight has been a discussion in board gaming for as long as Board Game Geek has been on the internet! Today, this topic is usually based on how much the latest Kickstarter box will weigh during shipping, but in yesteryear it was all about that difficulty. Crunch. Brain chew.
This week on the show Steve, Robert and Evan flex their brains to talk about why we like brain flexing in games. We'll cover everything from what makes games heavy to how that impacts the player experience.

This week on the show we review our thoughts on reviewers? or more specifically? should we really care what they say? Or shouldn?t we? Does length of time in the hobby matter? And who are these people anyway?
I don?t know, I just write these episode synopsizes. I leave the philosophizing to Evan, Robert and Steve!

House rules are everywhere from the tables of aspiring game designers to the most casual of hobbiests.
But why? Are they a way to give a game more of the player?s personality? To fix broken mechanics? And when does that fun little rules twist change the game enough to become something more than what is printed on the box?
This week Steve, Robert and Evan dive into the topic of house rules with special guest Austin Harrison from IV Studios (Moonrakers, Veiled Fate, Fractured Sky).

Interaction! All games are built on a foundation of interaction? well, most games.
With multiplayer solitaire style games becoming more and more popular, how do you define interaction? At what point does something make the jump from solitaire to interactive? What makes interaction anyway?
Evan, Robert and Steve dive into this and more on this week?s show!

We LOVE board games!
We love them so much we talk about them and what makes them tick on a weekly basis! But we?ve noticed a weird trend in society which begs the question - why doesn't EVERYONE love board games?
This week on the show Evan, Robert and Steve try to get to the heart of the issue! Is it a lack of minis? Too much beige? Or is there something deeper afoot?! Only one way to find out!

You are on a long and winding trail and you come to a fork in the road, but unlike most forks, this one has 36 different tines! All the tines lead to the same place ? a cabin filled with modern euro games? which path do you take?
This week on the show Evan, Robert and Steve choose which path to take and get to the nitty gritty of multiple paths to victory! Why do they work? When don?t they work? And the biggest question of all ? are they fun? Evan would also like to make it clear that he should have mentioned Carnegie at some point because it?s a good game in his opinion.

Where do board games go when they die? Better yet; can they go anywhere other than a recycling center? I guess the nicest way to put this is ? do games have a soul?
Better yet, what gives a game "soul?" What makes a game feel "soulful" versus "soulless?" Those are just some of the questions that Evan, Robert and Steve tackle on this week?s show!

They say knowledge is power? but what if you have too much knowledge? Does that mean you have too much power? If absolute power corrupts absolutely will this power from knowledge corrupt you? Will you become some sort of unhinged board game demigod if there is too much information given to you on the table?
We?ll never know!
What we will know by the end of this week?s episode is what makes perfect information tick! Evan, Robert and Steve dive into why it is fun, when it isn?t fun and why we would ever want to hide information from a player!

For years mankind has pondered and debated the question ? Does size matter?
Perhaps you have sized up this discussion for yourself. In fact, it has many branching thoughts:
How does component size effect our emotional response to a game?
Do certain sizes imply certain complexity levels?
Is CMON overcompensating for something?
Today on the show, under the unparalleled hosting stylings of Steve; Evan, Robert and Steve also throw this topic under the magnifier of sizable discussion! Want to give your thoughts or ask a question of your own? Hit us up at [email protected]
