Episode 83 - Dice Hospital
This week, we make significant use of the Interdecisional Spaceships infirmary. Not only is Brendan recovering from an illness and more than a little raspy on the record, but we are recording about Dice Hospital. Designed by Stan Kordonsky and Mike Nudd, Dice Hospital is a worker placement dice manipulation game about administering a hospital for dice. We'll dive deep, and ask incisive questions like, when is a decision space too clear and if a purely puzzly experience can still make a great game!

Episode 81 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Power Grid, Playing Games in Teams, and Other Odds & Ends
Not going to lie, this episode is a bit of an odd duck. Brendan and I were both out traveling this past week/weekend, so we had to record and edit this in a day to get it into your feeds on time. It's kind of a variety show where share the games we played while both hosts were out traveling and talk about ideas for a retrospective episode, playing games in teams, and the news with KeyForge. Hopefully you too have arrived safely back home after your Interdecisional Spaceship travel.

Episode 80 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Vacation Games
You are likely in your car, train, or plane and on your way to your long-awaited vacation right now! That's why we decided to record this episode just for you. In it, we will talk about the kinds of games we like to bring on vacation, introspect on some favorite gaming moments in our vacationing pasts, and then share our picks for games that we have brought or plan to bring on vacation with us this very summer! (The rest of you sadly not imminently setting sail for your vacation are still free to join in the Interdecisional Spaceship as some of these thoughts apply to the wider world of gaming beyond this narrow lense.)

Episode 79 - The Isle of Cats
If you are reading this then you have been lured into our basket by the wafting smell of fresh fish. Ha! Never fear, we are transporting you to safety in our Interdecisional Spaceship. While you are here though, you might as well enjoy our deep dive discussion about the decisions in The Isle of Cats, a game that feels to us of a different breed from the games we've covered before. Enjoy!

Episode 78 - Living Forest
Interdecisional Spaceship passengers, it is the moment you have been waiting for. A moment many thought, us included, would never come. Though it may go against our morals, religion, and ethos, for one day only on Decision Space, we are doing the hotness! That's right, we are covering Living Forest hot off the presses after having just won the Kennerspiel des Jahres. (That is German expert board game of the year to the uninitiated.) We'll do our traditional deep dive, decision-centered review, if we can remember how that goes after a few weeks of discussion topics. How does it go again? Is this thing on?

Episode 77 - Top 10 Games We Are Enjoying in 2022 (So Far)
Interdecisional Spaceship passengers, there has been a sudden change of course. Today we are back with another discussion topic episode, rather than the aforementioned plan to cover Living Forest (next week). Instead, today we each share the top 10 games that we have been enjoying the most in 2022 so far. To be clear these are not the games from 2022. These are not even necessarily the games that we played in 2022 that we think, critically, are the "best." These are simply the games that we have enjoyed playing the most between January 1st, 2022, and today.

Episode 76 - Mechanics that Make the Game with Special Guest Gnarly Carley
This week we are joined on the Interdecisional Spaceship bridge by a special guest, co-pilot Gnarly Carley. In the episode, we each highlight four games that we individually feel are examples where a single mechanic MAKES the game... whatever that means. Thanks so much to Carley for joining us for this week's discussion. Please check them out on Instagram and YouTube!
