I love being able to reference a Simpsons episode every now and then. But this one comes from a place of fear and distaste. I read this post about Math in games in the BGG blog section. My head exploded. If you don’t want to click over, I’ll summarize. Game designer Lewis Pulsipher (most notably of Britannia) said: At one of my game design talks at Origins I said that designers should avoid requiring players to do math, because so many younger people are very poor at doing math in their heads. One member of the audience let out odd
