Episode 186 - What We Talk About When We Talk About the Sweet Spot Mechanic
In this game we talk about the sweet spot mechanic, which is kind of but not quite a jackpot mechanic and an efficiency puzzle! We try to define this term and discuss the games that fit, a conversation that takes us beyond the bounds of the cardboard playing surface.
This topic came to us from Geoff Englestein's GameTek blog in the below-mentioned article. You can and should subscribe to the GameTek blog there!

We have a top-secret game preview, our first ever, coming soon! Any guesses what it is?
