Episode 005 - What Gives A Game Soul?


Listen Later

Where do board games go when they die? Better yet; can they go anywhere other than a recycling center? I guess the nicest way to put this is – do games have a soul?

Better yet, what gives a game "soul?" What makes a game feel "soulful" versus "soulless?" Those are just some of the questions that Evan, Robert and Steve tackle on this week’s show!
