Episode 172 - Hidden Gem Connections

Welcome to Hidden Gem Connections, a new game show right here on the Decision Space podcast. In this episode, joined by designer Paul Salomon (Honey Buzz, Genotype), the three hosts will each share three games that we think are hidden gems. Then we challenge the other two hosts and you at home to guess the one thing that connects the three. Good luck Interdecisional Spaceship traveller as the difficulty ramps up throughout the episode!
