Episode 052 - Knizia Scoring vs Set Collection (Does Framing Matter?)

Épisode 53

mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 39:53

Framing can be important! It’s the difference between me introducing you to “my wife, Wendy” and my “good friend, Wendy.” In that case, it’s also a deciding factor on how awkward the car ride home will be!

But how does this factor into board games? Do the same mechanics with different descriptions change the feel and flow of a game? Setting the stage with a mind blowing example from the table of none other than Reiner Knizia himself - Evan, Robert and Steve dive in on this week’s show!

Episode 051 - What Makes Historical Games Compelling?

Épisode 52

vendredi 8 août 2025 • Durée 34:39

History class is something you either love or hate… but what if you mix it with BOARD GAMES?!? That’s something hundreds of games have done over the years… but what makes those experiences better than sitting down with a good ol’ fashioned history book? Is it better if you stick close to the source material? How much is too much?

This week on the show, we endeavor to find out!

Episode 050 - Game Vs Activity

Épisode 51

mercredi 2 juillet 2025 • Durée 35:02

We’ve all seen that review online “not really a game… more of an ACTIVITY.” But… what does that actually mean?

Is there a difference between a game and an activity? Is this just the ultimate example of board gamer pedanticism?

Episode 049 - Making Games More Accessible

Épisode 50

mercredi 4 juin 2025 • Durée 35:55

You have friends, snacks and a great new game all ready to go… but uh oh. This game is not color blind friendly and your non-gamer friend is… well this is a drag!

We have moments like these a lot in gaming. Inviting non-gamers into a gaming space and having little hiccups take some of the fun away. So how can we avoid that?

Episode 048 - Why VS How

Épisode 49

mercredi 7 mai 2025 • Durée 36:58

This week on the show we are throwing down with an age old question – why? But we aren’t throwing down with it, how is!

In this episode we talk about how the why we do what we do in games differs from the how we do it and how that impacts the end result!

Episode 047 - Genre VS Mechanism

Épisode 48

mercredi 2 avril 2025 • Durée 38:56

We love a good verses episode here at Cardboard Philosophy! Which is exactly what we are diving into this week! Genres verses mechanisms! Which is which? How do we separate them and how do these two words affect the games we know and love? Plus, we put our money where our mouths are and actually use some of these new definitions in the real world!

Episode 046 - Do Games Require Player "Buy-In"?

Épisode 47

mercredi 5 mars 2025 • Durée 28:44

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!

Episode 045 - Buying Hope

Épisode 46

mercredi 5 février 2025 • Durée 31:40

We buy games for a lot of reasons. To have fun with friends, to discover a new designer or enjoy a mechanic we don’t currently have represented in our collection. But could there be… another reason? One that goes down to the very root of human nature? Are we maybe buying promise more than just the hot new cardboard offering at our FLGS?

Episode 044 - End Game Points

Épisode 45

jeudi 2 janvier 2025 • Durée 36:21

Some would say that points make the board gaming world go round! A lot of our favorite games all come down to a contest of having the most points… but what do those points tell us about the game? More to the point… what to they tell us about the players and the session? Are more points really always better?
