Ep. 12
•

This week, Ed and Ryan welcome their first guest, the director of game design at Oak Lounge Games, Joe "Fritz" Paull. Paull shares about his journey from board game fan to board game designer and offers words of wisdom for aspiring game designers. He also introduces his upcoming game, Prestige--a semi-cooperative tableau-building game in which players compete as rival tribes working together to construct an ancient metropolis from the ground up and gain the most acclaim for its exploits when the dust settles.
