You asked, we have heard you! This is John Meehan (MeehanEDU) and I unsucking Monopoly. We attempt to try our hand at designing changes to the core of the game in order to make it better.
In this episode, you will learn just how powerful it can be to take a game designers perspective to something. This view can produce some playful and profound changes that make something something worthwhile.
It is a great show that was only made possible by you, the community. Thank you for being such a wonderful and active group.
