Episode 49 - Splendor

The week we change things up. No, really! It's the return of the "What's on Your Mind" segment where Jake and Brendan each share one game that we've been playing lately. Then we take off for Splendor's decision space in our interdecisional spaceship. We ask if this mega-hit is truly an engine building game, and, returning to Splendor after some time away, we ask if these gems still shine as brightly as they once did. You'll have to listen in to find out! Games Discussed

So Clover - 2:49

Palaces of Carrara - 9:18

Splendor Feature Discussion - 14:15

Preplan Your Next Turn

Next week on Decision Space is a mission planning episode, where we'll discuss the games we are most interested in exploring in 2022 and reveal some future plans and dreams for the future of Decision Space!
