Episode description

“No luck gameplay,” “strategic decisions,” and “no luck!” are all common phrases on both Kickstarter and BGG store pages for some of our favorite games!

But why is that? Why is there a stigma around luck in games? Should there be? Is luck a boon in game design or a bust?

Join Robert, Steve and Evan as they roll the dice on how we perceive luck in games!
