#191: Take Off Every Zig

Published: Sept. 16, 2021, 9:34 a.m.

While one of the appeals of following a specific game designer is the comforting familiarity of what they do best, it\u2019s also really fun to see them go off the garden path. We\u2019re looking at games and mechanics where one of our beloved designers zigged, when they easily could\u2019ve zagged. Before we go our own way, we talk about\xa0Biosphere,\xa0The Ratcatcher: The Solo Adventure Game, and\xa0Stephenson\u2019s Rocket.
