TGT 080: Groking Games

February 27, 2018 Tabletop

This week we’re talking about Groking Games. In other words the ability to intuitively understand games of various types. How does it affect the overall enjoyment of the game and what can we do to help people become better grokers? No promises, but we try and figure it out.

But first, announcements, Kickstarters, and some Feedback. We have our Charterstone Giveaway winners, Chris backed Dice Throne Season 2 on Kickstarter, and we get a cool offer from Sam to compile statistics on listener 10×10 challenges. Check out that thread here https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1940127/inputfeedback-ep-79-10×10-challenge
