WiR Ep. 2: The Board! (Steve Bachmayer & Alex Fleetwood)

Voice Originals by Sensible Object

In the second episode of our Voice Originals podcast, we’re looking behind the scenes at what goes into making When in Rome: a travel trivia board game that works with your smart speaker. This week, we looked at the design of the game board itself – the stylised map of the world that players travel across in the game. We talk with Product Designer and Illustrator Steve Bachmayer and Sensible Object founder Alex Fleetwood to investigate the process of making a map that feels both beautiful and self-aware. How do you balance style and game requirements against authentic cultural representation? Find out in our second episode of the Voice Originals podcast!
