Waiting your turn is so 2021. Simultaneous play is where it's at now. Fortunately, we got a chance to try A BUNCH of games featuring the mechanism at Dice Tower West!

Frank West, the founder of City of Games and designer of Isle of Cats, joins to discuss cultivating enthusiastic, positive communities that buy games, have fun, and manages itself against negative elements. We get into a lot of facets of this one, particularly the idea of the Five, Five, and Ninety Percent. Five percent of communities are superfans, five percent are utter jerks, and ninety are people who want to hang out and have fun. How do we access and cultivate that ninety percent in positive ways? How can we tell when an angry person is among the Ninety and just upset, or if they are actually just a jerk not worth engaging? We get into that and a lot more in this one.

Much art is discussed this week, from French Romantics, to pirate stuff, to conspiracist vision boards, to whatever Walker is doing when he uses clothespins on felt. Mark wonders whether he can justify leaving in dead air and calling it "bold use of negative space," but the deeper worry is that too many people would prefer the silence.
