You might know the actor Langston Kerman from his roles on the television shows English Teacher, Insecure, and The Boys. You might know him also from lengthy board game nights at his house where explaining and comprehending the arcane, byzantine rules of a game is a necessary labor of the occasion. Langston, fortunately, knows all the rules to games like Villainous and Scythe and will happily explain them to you in a calm and reassuring voice that will send you off to sleep without ever having to roll dice or draw a card. And that makes you a winner.Listen to Langston Kerman's podcast with David Gborie, My Momma Told Me, wherever fine pods are cast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Competitive, Cooperative, and Cohabitive, published by Screwtape on October 1, 2023 on LessWrong. (I've been writing this in bits and pieces for a while, and Peacewager was the impetus I needed to finally stitch it together and post it. Peacewager sounds like a really fun game and an example of the thing I'm talking about, but I do not want this whole genre to get called Peacewager Games when I think I have a better title for the genre.) I believe there is a missing genre from existing games, and this genre feels large enough that it should contain maybe a third of the games I can imagine existing. More serious game players or game theorists might already have a name for the thing I'm pointing at, though the first three game design majors I asked didn't know of one. Let me back up. I'm going to assume for the moment that you've played some games. I don't have a strict definition of "game" I'm working with here, but let's start with definition by example: Chess is a game, Hide and Seek is a game, Pandemic is a game, Apples to Apples is a game, Poker is a game, Magic: The Gathering is a game, Werewolf is a game, Among Us is a game, Hanabi is a game, Baseball is a game, Football (American or European) is a game. I'm not trying to do some narrow technical definition, I'm waving my hand wildly in the direction of a pretty natural category and I'm not planning to do anything weird with the edge cases. Chess is a competitive game. In chess, you're loosely simulating a war between two evenly matched factions. When you play chess, there will be one winner and one loser. Sometimes instead there will be a draw. Anything that is good for you when you are playing chess is bad for your opponent and vice versa. You can be mistaken about what is good or bad for you; you can offer trades of pieces to your opponent because you think it is a good trade for you and they can take the trade because they think it is a good trade for them, but this is ultimately what's called a zero sum game. Your loss is their gain. "Eurogames" where you're trying to get the highest score are competitive in nature; if you could pay ten points to cost every other player twenty points, you'd do it. Pandemic is a cooperative game. In Pandemic, you're loosely simulating a global pandemic and the response of the international medical community. When you plan Pandemic, either all the players win, or all the players lose. Anything that is good for you when you are playing Pandemic is good for your teammates, and anything that is bad for you when you are playing Pandemic is bad for your teammates. You can lose things for yourself; you can spend resources and pay costs and run out of good cards in your hand, but ultimately this is also a loss for your team since they want you to have good stuff. There is of course the circumstance of competitive team games, like football. If I'm playing Football, I'm trying to help out my team like it's a cooperative game, and make the other team lose like it's a competitive game. This adds a little to the picture, but doesn't change the basic dynamics much. Again, I'm not doing anything weird with edge cases here. There's also multiplayer games like Risk, where it might make sense to make a temporary alliance to cooperate with another player while still ultimately knowing only one of you can win. Hidden role games like Werewolf or Betrayal At House On The Hill are usually competitive with teams. (A team of one and a team of the rest of the players is basically a team competitive game.) Picture these as two points on a continuum. You can compete, or you can cooperate. Seems simple enough. You can, if you like, extend this into a metaphor for how humans relate to one another outside of just games. Except for this really isn't how human beings actually operate in a wide range of circ...

Welcome to episode 37! In this episode we hold a draft in the aftermath of hypothetical fires that destroyed all our board game collections. Insurance payments came in and we each have $200 to jump start our new collections by drafting 5 games at current market prices.

Welcome back, fellow players! For as long as I can remember I have loved to explore areas and see what mysteries lay just beyond my line of sight, whether that was around town, around the county, or just around the couch. But there came a time when I realized there were some places I wouldn't be able to visit, mostly because Middle Earth and Hoth don't exist. Fortunately the world of board games has expanded my horizons and allowed me to travel to places beyond my wildest dreams, from the lively and magical GLOOMHAVEN to the dark and creepy halls of BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL. Come along as I dive into the adventures that await us, and discuss how board games can lead us to marvelous locations. As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode. I love you all.

Listen to how dumb we are in this highly controversial episode where we talk about how we're too dumb to read a rule book correctly! We didn't intend this to be an episode where we just complained about everything, but we just kind of started talking and got lost.

On this episode, “Haunted House Party”, Anthony, John, and Mike talk about the best B-Movie Horror board game, that is rarely the same twice, Betrayal At House On The Hill, by Avalon Hill and published by Wizards of the Coast! A game where ANYONE can be the greater evil or “big bad” when the crap hits the fan, and the haunt begins. The crew discusses the many different ways your characters can improve, or weaken, as the game progresses, as you try to save your life or the life of your fellow party members, or do your best to kill them all. It's a fun game where anything can happen, and luck can change at a moment's notice, thanks to events, items, and omens. There's even a small debate between Anthony and John about which character is better, Flash or Father Reinhardt!

In this episode, Chris, TC, and special guest Keith Ferguson set the Halloween mood by sharing their best spooky, creepy, or macabre retheme for totally mundane games. All this, plus Keith shares the little nightmare before his Christmas game - Santa's Workshop - was published, the new Legend of the Five Rings, Conquest of Paradise, guerilla marketing, grave robbing, electrocution, zombie camels, & more!

Game/puzzle designer and teacher, Richard Malena-Webber, loves using Game Theory to navigate the chaos of life. Thanks, as always, to Molly Lewis for our theme music.

Ambie, Cassadi, and Crystal discuss EXIT: The Game, Ethnos, and Dice Forge. We talk about dice in games, and Crystal goes over the origins of the word "roll."

Today we're talking about playing games with people who have jobs fixing cars.  Oh, wait, that's wrong.  Sometimes games can be really good but have a mechanic that otherwise we would hate.  That, I think, makes the game even more special.  We also totally didn't post any video content from Geekway.

Ambie, Cassadi, and Crystal discuss A Feast for Odin, Karuba, and Betrayal at House on the Hill: Widow's Walk. We talk about some games from before 2000, both good ones and bad ones. Crystal goes over the origins of the word "board."

Jason and Andy talk about annoying stuff and recommend games for Halloween!
