Also, an awesome game!
Played some video games with my son for the first time and he gave me a big hug. 😭

So much rich decision space to explore. 🚀
It’s fun and especially the way it is structured with the corporations driving scoring objectives, makes me want to explore it a few more times.
On the other hand, CofC was one of the best new to me game experiences I’ve had in a long time. So engaging and fun. 🐑 🤩
Played some bangers the last two weeks at Laughing Table Friends game night.
Clans of Caledonia and Shackleton Base. Both new to me!
The new episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is a deep dive of my favorite game of 2024: Arcs!!! We dig into the spikey, swingy decision points and explore why the systems of the game excite us... but frustrate others.

If these shots of my wife and I having fun on a merry go round won’t sell Decision Space merch, then I don’t know what will. 😎

Yes! I beat @petewiss.bsky.social to sharing our 2025 year end episode!
We reflect on the year and rank all the games featured on the show this year live!

@decisionspace.bsky.social I love the shout-out to Timesplitters 2 in your video game episode. What I particularly liked about that game was the built-in level designer.
Finding that I enjoyed designing levels more than playing the game should have been a clue to get into game design earlier.
The new episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is a bit different. We discuss our favorite video games of all time but also analyze their relationship to our tastes in board games.

Are you familiar with the term "donkey space" in game theory? "I know that you know that I know..." etc. In the most recent @decisionspace.bsky.social we discuss the concept as well as two games that have elements of these mind games: Agent Avenue and Hanamikoji.

Love this meme from donotadjust in our discord about last week’s Tile Laying Tropes episode and @devirgames.bsky.social’s Paris: La Cité de la Lumière (2019).

Decision Space has merch now! What?! Hats, Ts, and Sweaters.
My son rates our hats 1/10, but I like them a lot.

My top Spiel moments:
- Meeting @semicoop.bsky.social and demo'ing L'Oaf for them
- Getting interviewed by @thehungrymeeple.bsky.social for their excellent podcast about food and games
- Chatting with @petewiss.bsky.social about games, losing our voices, and the @decisionspace.bsky.social podcast
Talking about the @stonemaiergames.com Design Day has become one of my favorite episodes of the year. Is it indulgent? Absolutely. But we hope equally enjoyable to listen to!

It’s been a while since I got to attend a game night. Learning, playing,and doing absolutely terrible in Marrakesh last night was a delight.
LTF forever!
A little late to post, but I had a superb time @stonemaiergames.com design day. Paul, @petewiss.bsky.social, and I will recap the whole thing on next week’s pod.
A huge thank you to all these wonderful people playtesting Arcanist Battle!
Will you allow for an absurdist detour for our interdecisional spaceship?
