Episode 156 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Player Interaction

Jake has a lot on his mind after some recent turbulence at his weekly game night. The culprit? Player interaction. The result is this episode. Brendan and Jake talk for an hour about all forms of player interaction, invent a new quadrant to map types of player interaction, and hopefully provide some therapeutic listening to the Interdecisional Spaceship passengers who have also been on the wrong side of a board game beat down.
