from Three Moves Ahead · host Idle Thumbs
Friend of the show and returning guest Rob Daviau joins Rob and Julian to talk about his new game, Risk: Legacy.

Daviau describes lessons learned during playtesting about how players learn games and fail to make good long-term decisions. Why have some gamers been so resistant to the changes in Legacy? Does Legacy suggest a line of development for board gaming? Is it all a nefarious plot to make people buy more games? Risk: Legacy is available right now at game stores, and on Amazon next week.
