Board Game Quarterbacking: A Player Problem or Game Problem?
11The concept of quarterbacking, or alpha gaming in co-op games is a highly debated topic in the board game sphere, where both sides have very strong opinions. So, allow me to stagger in with all the grace of a rum-soaked, but far less charming Jack Sparrow. Lets parley.
In my humble opinion, neither answer is correct, and this is a hill I'm prepared to die on. Quarterbacking can be a player problem, or a game design problem. It can even be both at the same exact time. It completely depends on the game and the people at the table, and in this video, I explain why.
