Episode 97 - BattleCON
We have been interested in covering BattleCON since day one of this show, and it only took us 96 episodes to get to it. Fortunately, the wait was worth it because this game is awesome. It really is, but is it for everyone? Definitely not. We hope that todays flight aboard the Interdecisional Spaceship will be educational as to whether it is for YOU.

Next week we are ranking all the games covered in 2022!

Episode 96 - Games as Gifts and $100 Collections
In this two part episode, we first discuss the benefits, risks, and what to think about when giving games as gifts. We follow that up with a semi-related excercise where we each build our ideal collection, BUT we are limited to a budget of $100, AND we are drafting against eachother. We'd love to know who you think ended with the better collection and what games would make your $100 collection.

Next week, we are covering BattleCON.

Episode 95 - Memoir '44
This is an episode of firsts. We cover our first war game, our first didactic game, and our first ameritrash game all in one shot. Today, we dive deep into Memoir '44, the award winning game designed by Richard Borg and published by Days of Wonder. We do our deep dive thing, but also talk a lot about the theme and what it means to be a game that wants to teach the player something. We hope you enjoy it, interdecisional spaceship traveller!

Episode 93 - MARVEL SNAP
You are reading that right. There is not an error on your phone, computer, tablet, etc. We've done board games, we've done sports, and now, for the first time, Decision Snap veers into the exclusively digital play area of video games. Specifically, we are covering MARVEL SNAP, the new digital dueling card game from the team largely responsible for Hearthstone. And we are here to tell you that it's too late for us, but it might not be to late for you interdecisional spaceship traveller!

Episode 92 - Developing Decisions in Games with Special Guest Alex Cutler
We are joined by Alex Cutler, the the lead board game developer at Pandasaurus, to talk about what it is a developer does. Alex brings his wealth of experience and uses Pandasaurus' new hot game The Wolves as a case study to teach us a thing or two. The episode concludes with a special announcement and a live game development case study of sorts. We know you are going to love it, so fasten those safety belts and let's rock, interdecsional spaceship passengers!

Episode 91 - Point Salad
Hope you are hungry, but not that hungry because it is salad week on Decision Space. Point Salad that is -- designed by Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, Shawn Stankewich and published by AEG. We provide our usual ratings and capsule reviews, deep dive this small game's decision space, think about the implication of "bound" and "unbound" card systems, and disagree quite a lot. We hope you enjoy your inflight meal aboard the Interdecisional Spaceship. Dinner is served!

Episode 90 - Bonfire
We get to talk about another Stefan Feld game, and I just have to say it feels so good. This time we talk about the 2020 hit (I'd call it a hit), Bonfire. It's a psychedelic game about gnomes, guardians, and colorful bonfires, man. Truly, that is really all I can tell you about it. Also, it's a classic Feldian point salad euro, but it just hits different some of Feld's other, best offerings. Is that a good thing, a bad thing, or somewhere in between? We'll talk about that and more as we try to "find the path" through this episode (and fail). We do hope you'll join us in this. Let's get interdecisional!
