Show Notes

In this episode Scruffy and Norm dive into The Ming Voyages, together they share their thoughts on the AI, the output random elements and the decisions the game asks you to make. Scruffy then takes this a step further presenting his own piece of game theory "The Gamer's Dilemma" and how that helps explain the unique decision space The Ming Voyages is able to cultivate through a blend of open and closed information.

In this episode we take a deep dive into The Wars of Marcus Aurelius, a game that has Norm and Scruffy completely divided. Listen as one host tears down the game while the other builds it back up. Where will you land with it? Are you more of a Scruffy or a Norm in this instance? Important update: in this episode we refer to Amabel Holland by an incorrect name, this was an honest mistake as we were not aware she had changed her name. We meant no offence and hope this does not upset anyone. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/alwaysplayeronepodcast Buy us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/alwaysplayerone
