Episode 125: Designer Space - Kramer and Kiesling (Bonus Tikal Mini Review!)

For the first time, Decision Space attempts to explore the ludography and design ethos of a famous board game designer. We are nothing if not ambitious, so perhaps unwisely, this first effort features two designers - Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling. We'll start with a mini review of Tikal, then dive into what the history and games that make these designers great. Buckle up Interdecisional Spaceship travelers, this trip will run a smidge longer than normal.
