Play modes

Board games are competitive, right? Well, actually… they don’t need to be. You have a whole spectrum of options when it comes to the number of players and what “winning” looks like. To celebrate the diversity of board gamers and what they want out of a play experience, Jacques and Fayyaad look at the concept of play modes in board games. Because why stick to the expected when you can delve into other, more exciting options? You may be surprised by how many options you have when choosing board games to play. In this episode, Jacques and Fayyaad take a whirlwind tour of the most popular play modes, discussing plenty of variations and examples along the way. By the end of the episode, you should have at least one game or play mode to check out that you’ve never considered before.Thank you for listening!
