• Episode 050 - Game Vs Activity

  We’ve all seen that review online “not really a game… more of an ACTIVITY.” But… what does that actually mean? Is there a difference between a game and an activity? Is this just the ultimate example of board gamer pedanticism? This week on the show, we endeavor to find out! Want to ask a question or give us your two cents about the state of euros?

• Episode 049 - Making Games More Accessible

  You have friends, snacks and a great new game all ready to go… but uh oh. This game is not color blind friendly and your non-gamer friend is… well this is a drag! We have moments like these a lot in gaming. Inviting non-gamers into a gaming space and having little hiccups take some of the fun away. So how can we avoid that?

• Episode 048 - Why VS How

  This week on the show we are throwing down with an age old question – why? But we aren’t throwing down with it, how is! In this episode we talk about how the why we do what we do in games differs from the how we do it and how that impacts the end result!

• Episode 047 - Genre VS Mechanism

  We love a good verses episode here at Cardboard Philosophy! Which is exactly what we are diving into this week! Genres verses mechanisms! Which is which? How do we separate them and how do these two words affect the games we know and love? Plus, we put our money where our mouths are and actually use some of these new definitions in the real world!

• Episode 046 - Do Games Require Player "Buy-In"?

  We’ve talked in the past about the communal focus the whole table can get when playing a board game. But is that communal focus a requirement to play a game? Can designers help nudge us toward that state of “buy in” or is it just something magical that happens once in a while? This week on the show, Steve, Rob and Evan attempt to find out!
