Player One | Player Two: The Board Gaming Duo

When you exclusively play board games with two players, the hobby can feel a bit like a solitary experience. The purpose of this podcast is to open our door to you, and welcome you into our gaming world, as well as hopefully help introduce other people to the hobby.

Episode 25: Should I Stay or Should I Go

February 19, 2020 • Eric Bonkowski & Kathleen Shaw • Season 2 • Episode 1

All right, so this may be the Player One | Player Two Podcast, but that doesn’t mean we’re happy being locked out of 3+ player games. With that in mind, we realize that some “Two Player Variants” are messier than others.

Dummy players, AI decks, or even Bot Systems are all versions of variants that allow a 3+ player game to be played by two players. In addition to the main course game here, we’ll also spend a few minutes discussing two other games’ variants we’ve experienced recently that have gotten a 3+ player game onto our exclusively two player table–with varying results.
