  74 - Game Mechanic: Logic/Deduction Games

  2021-10-08

  21:52

  So if A equals B and B equals C, and the square root of -1 is i, then that means the black dog is the biggest, except for on nights with a full moon, when Mr. Johnson turns into a werewolf, and... Logic and deduction games typically entail putting together bits of information, then interpreting them to come to a conclusion. Of course, this can play out differently depending on which game you're playing. Make sense? Better listen to the episode. We explain it better there.

To defend the realm from the rampaging dragon Fafnir, you need to gather the greatest warriors in the land—a greater collection than your rival Elvalands! And how do you do that, you ask?

  70 - Game Mechanic: Auctions

  2021-09-10

  22:55

  "Do I hear 5 crystals? 5? Who'll give me 7? I've got seven! 10?" In many board games, the most prized resources are finite, and players are scrambling to get the pieces that will help their strategy. How do you determine who gets those resources? In games with an auction mechanic, they go to the player who wants them most! Or at least... who's willing to pay the most to get them. What are your thoughts on auction mechanics?
