Board game creators

Nerdverse Unshuffled

Board games don't magically appear just because you want to play a new game. (Trust us, we've tried.) In this episode, Fayyaad and Jacques look at game designers, artists, and publishers and how each contributes to taking a board game from a concept to a physical product you can play with friends. Your hosts discuss a few of their favourite board game creators, but as always, the episode focuses of how knowing these terms can help you learn more about what to look for a board game to play or buy. It also includes a bonus definition (ludography!) and two bonus disclaimers. So join us as we celebrate the marvellous people who make our board games.
