If you listen to one episode of Decision Space in your life, this is a good one to pick.

For the record, we had no idea that Awaken Realms would be announcing a super deluxe version of #Concordia today. Truly crazy timing. So, I'd like to submit this as an addendum to the episode for the record.

We pursue perfection in Concordia and talk about what that kind of hyper efficiency seeking decision space feels like. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

A wonderful conversation with a fantastic guest spot. Thank you @petewiss.bsky.social and @nealen.bsky.social. Queue the “we’re not worthy’s.”

Bus is a game with a pleasant board, where you plan a bus route, transport passengers, and slowly realize that is *not* the good place.

This week's @decisionspace.bsky.social episode is an exploration of one of my favorite genres: area control! So many of my favorite games include some combination of these mechanisms. We're talking about PEAK board game experiences. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

250 episodes of Decision Space! Who would have thought?

Played some video games with my son for the first time and he gave me a big hug. 😭

This episode was a true joy to record with my buddy @paulsalomon27.bsky.social. So much rich decision space to explore. 🚀

Played some bangers the last two weeks at Laughing Table Friends game night. Clans of Caledonia and Shackleton Base. Both new to me!

The new episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is a deep dive of my favorite game of 2024: Arcs!!! We dig into the spikey, swingy decision points and explore why the systems of the game excite us... but frustrate others. @leder.games @colewehrle.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

If these shots of my wife and I having fun on a merry go round won’t sell Decision Space merch, then I don’t know what will. 😎

Yes! I beat @petewiss.bsky.social to sharing our 2025 year end episode! We reflect on the year and rank all the games featured on the show this year live! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

@decisionspace.bsky.social I love the shout-out to Timesplitters 2 in your video game episode. What I particularly liked about that game was the built-in level designer. Finding that I enjoyed designing levels more than playing the game should have been a clue to get into game design earlier.

The new episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is a bit different. We discuss our favorite video games of all time but also analyze their relationship to our tastes in board games. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... Below, I'm going to list ten of my favorite video games! What are yours?

Me IRL

Are you familiar with the term "donkey space" in game theory? "I know that you know that I know..." etc. In the most recent @decisionspace.bsky.social we discuss the concept as well as two games that have elements of these mind games: Agent Avenue and Hanamikoji. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

New episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is all about different types of auctions in games! What are some of your favorite auction games? Mine is Modern Art! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Loved recording this episode with you @petewiss.bsky.social. We had fun talking deck shufflers, for sure!

Love this meme from donotadjust in our discord about last week’s Tile Laying Tropes episode and @devirgames.bsky.social’s Paris: La Cité de la Lumière (2019).

Decision Space has merch now! What?! Hats, Ts, and Sweaters. My son rates our hats 1/10, but I like them a lot. www.decisionspacepodcast.com/merch

My top Spiel moments: - Meeting @semicoop.bsky.social and demo'ing L'Oaf for them - Getting interviewed by @thehungrymeeple.bsky.social for their excellent podcast about food and games - Chatting with @petewiss.bsky.social about games, losing our voices, and the @decisionspace.bsky.social podcast

Talking about the @stonemaiergames.com Design Day has become one of my favorite episodes of the year. Is it indulgent? Absolutely. But we hope equally enjoyable to listen to! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

It’s been a while since I got to attend a game night. Learning, playing,and doing absolutely terrible in Marrakesh last night was a delight. LTF forever!

A little late to post, but I had a superb time @stonemaiergames.com design day. Paul, @petewiss.bsky.social, and I will recap the whole thing on next week’s pod. A huge thank you to all these wonderful people playtesting Arcanist Battle!

Will you allow for an absurdist detour for our interdecisional spaceship?

Alright Decision space Podcast and @perryjon.bsky.social, let’s see what all the hype is about.

Thanks for joining us, Jon! Some great design notes here!

Player interaction? I got your player interaction right here 👊 Some of you have never placed 4 tiles and drawn 6 seed cards in a single turn of Apiary and it really shows.

When Brendan says reviewing Dominion is like reviewing Starry Night, I can only assume this is the kind of thing he is talking about. youtube.com/shorts/FR6uD...

Like board game podcasts? Checkout Reggie's video that calls out some great shows (and introduced me to a few). And check out Reggie's new podcast, Board States!

Decision Space host @petewiss.bsky.social is really doing the game design thing. Way to go, buddy!!

One of the 23 regions of Bremen, hometown of Friedemann Friese is coming alive on my table tonight. Findorff!

The year is 20XX and every new board game is Lord of the Rings themed.

Kickball is a 3/3 on the Salomon scale.

Good news! My team survived week of the Decision Space guillotine fantasy football league!

Thanks for sharing!

Steal. This game slaps if you haven’t played it.

Weird coming from the guy who said, “Trick-taking is bad in general,” but I’ll give it a listen. 😉

Rare social media post to share that @petewiss.bsky.social is a reformed man. What trick-taking game did this to you?

The moral victory sash, the championship belt, and the guy who thought he was going to win the game. It was a great Laughing Table Friends game night! Also, Princes of Florence is really fun.

New episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social with very special guest @danthurot.bsky.social ! We discuss open world games and use Earthborne Rangers and Vantage (my two current obsessions) as case studies. @stonemaiergames.com @earthbornegames.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I have way too much fun creating these thumbnails for YouTube, as I slowly try to catch up with the audio show. Enjoy this one over there if you like - youtu.be/A_7v6HDWHAI?...

Relevant content for tomorrow’s episode on Board Game Junk Food. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it. What game do you consider junk food? (Note, you must crave it for it to count.)

Tiles are math? Tiles are math! And math is tiles! You are going to learn a thing or two from @paulsalomon27.bsky.social and Brendan in this episode.

Slowly getting podcasts uploaded either video to YouTube. This one became our most viewed video in only a day! Maybe not a huge surprise the algorithm likes this one. youtu.be/bu6XsKFIDUA?...

I’m terrible about taking pictures of my plays, but cracking into some old school Keyforge last night was cause enough for some rare pics. It doesn’t get much better (any?) for 2 player casual card dueling.

Share the text from a rule book or card that made you stop and say, “Wow.”

What sitting and rocking a baby while he naps will do to a mf

Congrats @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social, @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social, and @danthurot.bsky.social for leading the way in the podcast category this year! Well deserved and thanks for your contributions to this space.
