Board Game Experiments

Season 7 · Episode 649

dimanche 18 août 2024 • Duration 25:47

Brendan responds to a listener question about when board game experiments work or are admirable. Join us, won’t you?

Gabriel Edge asks this question in our Boardgame Geek Forum:
What are some experiments in board games that you really liked? What are some experiments in board games that you appreciated/admired (even if you didn’t like the game)? And the bigger question, when does a board game push the boundaries of the artistry in the medium (and should designers look to push those boundaries further)?

- The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game (2011)
The King’s Dilemma (2019)
Sidereal Confluence (2017)
A Study in Emerald (2013)

Experiments I admire in games I don’t love

Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 (2015)
KeyForge: Call of the Archons (2018)
- Discover: Lands Unknown (2018)

Additional thoughts on Experiments
