  • A valuable resource

    A lot of indie designers go through similar issues but have unique approaches to solve them. It’s so much fun to listen to everyone’s stories of the process. Patrick really captures the voices that no one else does.

  • I liked this podcast so much I asked to be a guest!

    Patrick has done a really good job of finding and interviewing people that are relatively unknown. While other podcasts sometimes start to feel repetitive because you hear from the same big names, this podcast offers a unique POV that other aspiring game designers can connect to more easily.

  • Board game design for us

    I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is my favorite. It speaks to me since Patrick is interviewing designers doing what I do, not people who made it big years ago. This is real world game design, what is happening now, where it counts... small independent having fun.
