Cardboard Philosophy

• 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!

• Episode 045 - Buying Hope

  We buy games for a lot of reasons. To have fun with friends, to discover a new designer or enjoy a mechanic we don’t currently have represented in our collection. But could there be… another reason? One that goes down to the very root of human nature? Are we maybe buying promise more than just the hot new cardboard offering at our FLGS?

• Episode 044 - End Game Points

  Some would say that points make the board gaming world go round! A lot of our favorite games all come down to a contest of having the most points… but what do those points tell us about the game? More to the point… what to they tell us about the players and the session? Are more points really always better? This week on the show, Steve, Rob and Evan attempt to find out!
