Game weight has been a discussion in board gaming for as long as Board Game Geek has been on the internet! Today, this topic is usually based on how much the latest Kickstarter box will weigh during shipping, but in yesteryear it was all about that difficulty. Crunch. Brain chew.

This week on the show Steve, Robert and Evan flex their brains to talk about why we like brain flexing in games. We'll cover everything from what makes games heavy to how that impacts the player experience.
