Episode 129 - Challengers!

Donald X. Vaccarino's Dominion famously popularized the deck building mechanic, forever changing the landscape of board gaming. Is it possible that a silly little card game called Challengers! will do the same for auto battlers? Buckle up Interdecisional Spaceship passengers because on this special episode of Decision Space we cover this Kennerspiel nominated game and ask ourselves, do we have a classic on our hands?

Pre-Planners

Ark Nova, Can't Stop!, Spots, and more will be covered on the show soon! 👀
