Episode 135 - Playtesting and Prototyping

Welcome to Decision Space, the only podcast that takes place right here before the turns of your favorite games (someday, we hope). Anyways, this podcast is very different. Today, Brendan and Jake put on their game designer hats and share some of their experiences and lessons learned with playtesting and prototyping board game designs. We hope you enjoy this educational flight aboard our sister ship, the InterDesignonal Spaceship. 

Pre-Planners

Santa Monica, Torres, Food Chain Magnate, and social deduction games et. al are coming up in the relatively near future!
