Paul and I (and other friends) got to play with Disc Golf legend, Big Jerm, yesterday. What an incredibly fun experience. 🤩

Congrats to all the nominated podcasts! I listen to several of these. I’m biased though so I’ll be voting @decisionspace.bsky.social !

Look at this bounty of smart people talking about Arcs!

Huge shout out to @petewiss.bsky.social and our guests for facilitating a wonderful conversation about a game that deserves a deep dive as much as any game does.

(also if folks want to throw Origin Story or No Loose Ends a Golden Geek bone I wouldn't be upset about it...)

He could still have one!

No way! So cool. Accepting all immersive escape room recs in my city.

Also, if you are looking to do any board gaming while in town, shoot me a DM, may be figure-out-able. 🙂

What are you doing in St. Louis? That’s where 3/4 Decision Space hosts are located?

Alright, I’m seeing Q3 on your website. I think I have a plan. Find Here Lies on secondary market now and buy the sequel on release.

I say it on the pod I think, but this was the one game that I played at the ranch where I thought I need to track this down immediately.

Cheers! 🍻

This reminds me to ask @dvcgames.bsky.social, is Here Lies coming back in stock any time soon or should I go secondary market?

What 👏 a 👏 game 👏

Fun Through Frustration? Game Difficulty and Sail Podcast Episode · Decision Space · March 18 · 1h 26m

In today's episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social we explore what makes games "difficult" and use Sail from @allplay.bsky.social as a case study on the subject. Do you like difficult games? When is it too much and when is it not enough?

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

@nopunincluded.com

Efka, this one goes out to you as well.

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.

Crazy timing.

Concordia: Pursuit of Perfection Podcast Episode · Decision Space · February 25 · 1h 25m

We pursue perfection in Concordia and talk about what that kind of hyper efficiency seeking decision space feels like.

A wonderful conversation with a fantastic guest spot. Thank you @petewiss.bsky.social and @nealen.bsky.social.

Queue the “we’re not worthy’s.”

Just know that these episodes are taking the place of our regular mid-weight euro programming. ;)

*Record Scratch*

Yup. That’s me.

You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation.

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.

Area Control, Majority, and Conflict (What We Talk About) Podcast Episode · Decision Space · 02/11/2026 · 1h 30m

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.

250 episodes of Decision Space! Who would have thought?

We are playing some UFO50! Seemed the most baby friendly on my device.

Also, an awesome game!

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

Oh definitely!

It’s the game from last year I most want to play but haven’t yet. Soon!

Ra is on my brain, and watching the final player in the round pus their luck takes an exceptional design into one of the best ever for me. Ra! Ra! Ra!

This episode was a true joy to record with my buddy @paulsalomon27.bsky.social.

So much rich decision space to explore. 🚀
