This week we put the theory of evolution to the test and see how Nature competes against its previous generations of biological tableau builders. Does its chameleonic take on game design prove survival of the versatile or devolve into primordial soup? Plus pushing your luck amidst the sinking isles of Pralaya, fighting for physical media and the attribution of game creators, and much more.

Topics Discussed

The Doom Gallery, physical games media, Spiel des Jahres winners, TTGDA calls for creative attribution, Forbidden Legacy, Baba is You, Party House, Pralaya, Nature, Leech (novel), Julia (novel)
