We’ve talked in the past about the communal focus the whole table can get when playing a board game. But is that communal focus a requirement to play a game? Can designers help nudge us toward that state of “buy in” or is it just something magical that happens once in a while?

Want to ask a question or give us your two cents about the state of euros? Hit us up at cardboardphilosophypod@gmail.com!
