Season 12 - Episode 4

Boardgames special! Like many home ed families we're huge boardgames fans and as we start to think about skills and subjects for future success we reached out to a number of boardgames designers and producers with some questions on the topic. In this episode we're discussing the thoughtful and insightful answers we got from a range of fab companies - questions around the skills that make a good games designer, the kinds of subjects they studied, what games inspired them, what games they're proud of and why are game boards often square or rectangular!

Huge thanks to the contributions we received from Gamely, Dranda Games, Professor Puzzle, Helvetiq, Catch Up Games, Button Shy and Off the Page Games. We'll be featuring some of the games from these companies in future episodes and here on our website, so watch this space!
