Episode 047 - Genre VS Mechanism

We love a good verses episode here at Cardboard Philosophy! Which is exactly what we are diving into this week! Genres verses mechanisms! Which is which? How do we separate them and how do these two words affect the games we know and love? Plus, we put our money where our mouths are and actually use some of these new definitions in the real world!

Want to ask a question or give us your two cents about the state of euros? Hit us up at [e-mail]!
