  • Awesome Content

    As a game designer, this is my favorite podcast right now. Listened to a recent episode - loved it - and now working my way through all of the episodes. Really good and practical information for someone trying to “break in” to the board game industry, be you a designer, developer or publisher. Highly recommended.

  • Great Start

    Been using gaming podcasts as my mentors for getting into game design myself the past three months. These guys, like podcasts Ludology and Game Design Round Table offer their own perspective on the creation and business of games. Can't wait to see where they go with this. Through their conversations I'll continue to think about my own path eventually getting published.
