Episode 046 - Do Games Require Player "Buy-In"?
Description
We’ve talked in the past about the communal focus the whole table can get when playing a board game. But is that communal focus a requirement to play a game? Can designers help nudge us toward that state of “buy in” or is it just something magical that happens once in a while?
This week on the show, Steve, Rob and Evan attempt to find out!
