Episode 45 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Irrational Actors with Special Guest Tony Faber

Is a new player pretty much the same thing as a drunk player? This is just one of the many hard-hitting questions we'll dig into (seriously) on this week's episode of Decision Space. The topic of irrational actors at the board game table, an unwieldy topic that spans social contracts, sobriety, siding with spies, and so much more. There's no way we could tackle this alone. Fortunately, we are joined for the discussion by special guest Tony Faber. Tony is a host of the Two Wood for a Wheat Podcast as well as the author of The Secrets of Great Games blog on Board Game Geek. We hope you'll enjoy the show. The Interdecisional Spaceship is now preparing to launch!

Preplan Your Next Turn

Next week on Decision Space.... We explore the decisions in Raiders of the North Sea, the first game we're featuring from Garphill Games!
