Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 375: Matthew Rodela, Twisted Trumpets Designer
Q: Can you describe how to play Twisted Trumpets?
It's a quick-playing tile-laying game where players build trumpet pipes, score points by capping off those pipes with bells, and collect various flags and objectives during play.
Episode 375: Matthew Rodela, Twisted Trumpets Designer
Q: How did you meet Zev and how did this come together with Play to Z?
I intended to self-publish, but after pitching at Tantrum Con, Zev expressed interest, leading to a collaboration where I retained some creative control while they published the game.
Episode 375: Matthew Rodela, Twisted Trumpets Designer
Q: How would you or what would you recommend for someone who's looking to get into the design side of the industry?
I recommend joining communities like the Board Game Design Lab on Facebook and engaging with playtesting communities to get feedback and reality checks on your game designs.
Episode 374: Jeff & Andrew, Road to Infamy (R2i) Games
Q: Did you find when you're doing Fromage that almost missing the creation element?
Interestingly, Andrew and I were actually pretty involved with the design of that game from the start.
Episode 374: Jeff & Andrew, Road to Infamy (R2i) Games
Q: How did you find the audience difference between, like, a Fromage and say, like, your audience built up with Canvas?
Kickstarter just naturally has more of that mid-weight, even heavyweight audience built into it.
