Episode 108: Asymmetry (What We Talk About)


We are back with yet another "What We Talk About" episode! This time the pilots of our Interdecisional Spaceship discuss asymmetry. We talk about what games with asymmetry and what what separates these from "asymmetric games." At the end we talk about why asymmetry is good and bad in the games we love to play. We also perhaps discuss the most games ever in the single games. Just look at those timestamps!
