  • Not very good

    Not very objective if you want to listen to a podcast that only covers the fluff and never objectively covers the hard topics this is the podcast for you ( loves all manufacturers even if they rip you off )

Q: What was the biggest surprise you found when you started building Wizard of Oz?
The biggest surprise was that everything was a problem, yet selling the game turned out to be the easiest part; the reality of crowdfunding a company and delivering a product that had never existed before was far more challenging than anticipated.
