Sirlin on Game Design, Ep4: Tournament Rules

Update: 2014-12-12

Description

In this episode, we discuss the kind of things that go wrong when creating rules for a tournament. The rules for high profile tournaments are sometimes surprisingly bad, yet even when we avoid the obvious problems, it's still very difficult to make completely fair rules. Sirlin explains the rules he chose for his own games as well.

Special guest Garcia1000 and Sirlin discuss the curious case of Nintendo.

Hosts: David Sirlin & Matt "Aphotix" DeMasi
