Board Stalls and Cube Design

View all cards mentioned in this episode (http://luckypaper.co/podcast/311-boar...) Andy and Anthony talk about board stalls and Cube. They talk about what they don’t like about this particular genera of board state. They theorize about some aspects of a cube’s design would lead to more stalls, and ways they might, as a designer, try to minimize them. This weeks topic was suggested by listener MZ. Thanks, MZ!
