In this episode, Jacques and Fayyaad address the complex and controversial topic of board game weight — a tricksy term board gamers use to explain how difficult a game is to learn and to play. They go into the different kinds of complexity that are included, discuss various examples across the complexity spectrum, and introduce (very briefly) the great resource site for board gamers, BoardGameGeek. As always, the focus is on helping you as a consumer figure out which board games are suitable for your table and your interests. And they finally get some listener feedback from actual listeners! They were very excited.
