Competitive Play (What We Talk About)

Decision Space is a board game podcast about the decisions in games and now on YouTube.

Episode Nine - What We Talk About When We Talk About Competitive Play

It turns out we talk about a whole lot when we talk about competitive play.* We ask what is competitive play and try to define it. We share our own histories in competitive gaming. We also think of the benefits and not-so-benefits of engaging in competitive play, including the potential pitfall of the "Levine Ravine." We conclude the episode with Brendan and Jake both sharing their TOP 5 Factors that Make a Game Suited for Competitive Play.

*Side discussions may include but are not limited to Magic: The Gathering, KeyForge, Kickball, Chess, Disc Golf, Pokken, Chess, Boxing, Battlebots, Donkey Kong, Poker, Ladder Golf, Bridge, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Pokemon Trading Card Game, Line Graphs, wavelength, the Pixies and much more. If you find yourself engaging in competitive play for more than 4 hours after listening to this podcast, see a doctor immediately.
