On this episode we invite Lexee Brill, wargame designer and gaming badass, to teach us how wargames are designed, executed, and evaluated. We touch on the wide-range of wargaming applications from conventional warfare to responding to environmental threats and global pandemics. For all those wondering, being a wargame designer does make you better at cooking mama and Lexee shares some of her favorite games with us. Finally, we chat about being a female wargamer, how more girls can (and should!) enter into this space, and the importance of not taking s**t from old hawkish men.
