Episode 125 - Designer Space on Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling
For the first time, Decision Space attempts to explore the ludology and design ethos of a famous board game designer. We are nothing if not ambitious, so pershaps unwisely, this first effort features two designers - Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling. We'll start with a mini review of Tikal, then dive into what the history and games that make these designers great. Buckle up Interdecisional Spaceship travellers, this trip will run a smidge longer than normal.
