Episode 017 - How Does Art Effect The Way We Approach A Game? (Featuring Peter McPherson!)

Cardboard Philosophy

Art is everywhere! From the screen on your phone to the paintings in a museum. It’s also all over the board games we know and love! It’s also more than just something pretty to look at… but how far can art in board games take us? How much does it effect our enjoyment of the game? Can there be too much of it?

This is a big subject, so who better to pull onto the show than our friend Peter McPherson (Fit to Print, Tiny Towns)?

Join Robert, Steve, Evan and Pete as we dive into all things art on this week’s show!
