Boardgames To Go 245 - Revisiting Deep Thoughts (with Greg Pettit)

Please join us on the Boardgames To Go discord server where you can chat online with other podcast listeners. Reminder! Please join other podcast listeners for the next online BGTG Mini-Con, scheduled for September 6 . I plan to be online from 9am-9pm Pacific time, including the Boardgames To Go discord server for voice & video. The games will mostly be played on BoardgameArena, but adventurous gamers can also use Yucata, Brettspielwelt, Boardgames.io, Steam, apps, or whatever. It's free, and no RSVP or signup is necessary. Openers : Mark : Vantage Greg : Rock Hard 1977 Closers : Greg : "I don't know" ❤️ Mark : Finding my city on a game map @Gregarius Over two decades I've enjoyed having a lot of people join me on the podcast, most of them my friends from local game groups. Greg Pettit has been there from the beginning, and quite a few times. Especially in some earlier years of the podcast, Greg was one who was willing to tackle some deep topics, meta-topics around the hobby. Instead of talking about a specific game, we'd talk about the possible longevity of our hobby, artistic merit of some designs, the different types of thematic resonance in games, or how to be contemplative with our boardgames. He initiated several of those topics. (To be fair, some of my other friends do that, too. That's why they're my friends...they like dissecting our hobby with me.) With more & more years behind us, Greg suggested we revisit some of those subjects, at least at a high level. The hobby has grown & grown. Distribution is much wider and boardgames now come up conversations at work or your neighborhood. Game mechanisms and styles of play have changed. And...we've all gotten older. Greg has questions relating to all of these, and it's fun to talk about. -Mark
