Designing Around Analysis Paralysis - Ep. 73

Today we discuss designing around analysis paralysis:

• Is it a bad thing?
• Limiting your decision space
• Add more options/decisions as you go
• Allowing players to "mess up" the next player's carefully laid plans
• Companion app
• Reference cards to make decisions easier
• Usability in graphic design or component selection
• Simultaneous play
• Hidden actions
• Keep players engaged
• Walls of text
• Put longer decisions at the end of a players so other players can take their turns while the other player is thinking
