Episode 86 - Blood Rage

For the first time and at long last, we steer our Interdecisional Spaceship towards the Eric Lang galaxy. Our first stop in this sector of the known decisioverse is with the 2015 smash hit Blood Rage -- currently ranked as the 40th best board game of all time according to the users at Board Game Geek. In this episode we think a lot about the type of decision space offered by this innovative hybrid game that seeks to offer the best of both 2015 Euro and Ameritrash sensibilities, while at the same time seeking to be a game that is bigger than the box. Does it deliver on these incredible ambitions? Hop in because this space craft is departing now!
