Slay the Spire: The Board Game

Published: Wed 15th Jan

We're joined by Sean Weeks to tackle Slay the Spire, the towering pinnacle of games design that went there and back again, transcending the analog/digital divide. We sail the card river of randomization and discuss the art of board game adaptations, the taxonomy of genre and whether co-op play can change player behaviour.
Other games discussed:
Dominion, Ascension, Aeon's End, Frostpunk, Gwent
