Asymmetry has been around since the start of time, but recently (over the past few thousand years), we’ve utilized asymmetry in our games to make things unique and flavorful. I wanted to go in depth regarding the different flavors of asymmetry, and especially how it pertains to board games. Nowadays, all the best games seem to thrive on asymmetry, right? So ya, we cover a lot of games here, so please let me know your thoughts and I hope you enjoy!
As always, thanks for watching!
