Episode 160 - Bunny Kingdom
This week we discuss Bunny Kingdom! We talk about the benefits of the visual representation of the deck via the board grid, the fact that scoring kind of seems like a drag, and a ton about the strategic implications of various cards. We hope you take flight with us on this week's journey aboard the Interdecisional Spaceship.

Episode 156 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Player Interaction
Jake has a lot on his mind after some recent turbulence at his weekly game night. The culprit? Player interaction. The result is this episode. Brendan and Jake talk for an hour about all forms of player interaction, invent a new quadrant to map types of player interaction, and hopefully provide some therapeutic listening to the Interdecisional Spaceship passengers who have also been on the wrong side of a board game beat down.
