The State of Games, Ep. 114: The One About Board Games As Art
There are certain times in the history of the podcast where we just feel compelled to dive headlong into the deep recesses of our hobby to discuss somewhat esoteric things. This time around, it’s all about art – specifically, if board games (or any consumer-based media, for that matter) could be considered art. Through our journey, we define what art means to us, which games we think might fit the bill, and even which games helped to define our generation, art pieces or not.
Important things mentioned on the podcast:
The Lawsuit between Zev Shlasinger and Dan Yarrington
FFG and Games Workshop parting ways

I like the direction you took the art discussion which gave me lots to think about. I shudder to think about what you’re going to receive in your inbox after this episode.
