So what I wanted to do was to have both a tabletop and video game designer on at the same time and talk about game design and their views about certain topics in their respective industries. I manage to invite Bruno, famed designer of games like Citadels and Incan Gold to name a few classics and Julia, designer of the upcoming video game Mushroom 11, to chat about topics that I found interesting in Bruno's blog http://faidutti.com/ Specifically, we chatted about the boardgame bubble, politics/religion, piracy and Bruno's recent game, Waka Tanka which has a native american theme that has gotten a few criticisms. I also announce the winner of our coolstuffinc giveaway! I am so grateful for the many comments and feedback that I have received so far so THANK YOU ALL! If you like this style of podcast, do go to our guild on BGG and leave us a comment! I really want to improve on our podcast and I am liking this conversation piece so let me know and I can see which pair I can pull together the next episode!
