Board game rules are all made up! It’s true! I read about that in a rule book once.
But how arbitrary are those made up rules? Are some rules more inherently intuitive and less arbitrarily than others? What makes those other rules feel arbitrary?
This is certainly sounds like a weird philosophical question the CP boys would tackle… and would you believe it? This week they do!
Join Robert, Steve and Evan as we get into the nitty gritty of what feel arbitrary in rules!
