#53: Objection!

Objectivity is a nice goal, but what does it mean for board game criticism? Are there elements of board game design that we can have factual conversations about, without invoking our personal biases? We debate this in the only way we know how. Before we start shouting, we talk about Hyperspace, Gùgōng, and Wingspan.

26:26 - Critical Objectivity
26:58 - Nemesis

43:04 - Monopoly
