Board games require thought. Whether it's a heavy-weight Euro, a heavily thematic dice chucking adventure or a legacy co-op, players are asked to think about the game world and to make complex decisions.

In my series of articles 'Board of Philosophy' I explore how modern boardgames provide a space for philosophical thought. Avoiding analysis paralysis, I provide unique readings of tabletop games that draw upon the western philosophical tradition. I reveal new sides to both the games and the philosophy.
