Daily positivity, and boardgame blethering.

Today: Discussing IMMERSION with Timea Farkas |

I’m excited to once again have the exuberant, creative TIMEA as a guest!

What is immersion? 

Is it always desirable? If we are asking people to compare the game to reality, do we need a cap on immersion? 

What helps immerse players? 

Does the theatre of tech inherently aid immersion? 

How can our IRL setting (lighting, background music) affect immersion?



All respectful questions and comments welcome. 
Sillier Qs during the QQQ section.
