    #83 The Three Pillars of Game Design
    Apr 21 2026

    Peter has a new model that breaks down ALL OF BOARD GAME DESIGN!

    NOTE: Peter consistently uses "ergonomics" wrong in this episode! Ergonomics is the *reduction* of work; when he says he 'reduces ergonomics' that should be increases ergonomics (or reduces work). Sorry!
