Exploring Games, Episode 16: Exploring Suburbia and Defining a Game
Description
Once again, I finally found my way back to the mic to record another episode of Exploring Games!
In this installment, I start off with some announcements about plans for the future and the progress of my own game (Acute Care). I then go through a hefty list of “recently” (a term that I use a little lightly here) played games. Next are the main segments of the show, with first getting into a little exploration about what is a good definition for what is or is not a game, and then finishing with an in-depth review of Suburbia.
Listen, enjoy (hopefully), and feel free to give me feedback either here, via email (gamerchris@bellsouth.net), at my Guild on BoardGameGeek, or on Twitter (@kilroy_locke).
