Episode 151 - The Future of Decision Space
The future is now. We've conquered the first 150 episodes (I still can't believe that number) of Decision Space, and so we set our Interdecisional Spaceship on course for a new frontier. While long-time listeners will notice some passing similarities to our mission planning episode, this episode feels a little different. We unpack what we've done with the show thus far, our goals moving forward, and only end by sharing a few games we hope to cover in the year ahead. I hope you travelers enjoy this honest conversation (if at times a little naval gazing) about our show.

Episode 144 - Replayability
It's a classic what we talk about episode on replayability! (And there was much rejoicing.) We discuss 6 factors that make a game replayability and how they intersect. Then, Jake asks a deep question and we ponder if replayability even matters after all. At the end, we even make time for a quick chat about video games. We hope you enjoy this podcast. See ya on the Interdecisional Spaceship (that's our discord) after the show!
