In the news section, A hole was dug by Cards against Humanity, because it was Black Friday, and a Terminator licensed board game was announced. They then move onto Kickstarters, mainly discussing the huge hit, Kingdom Death: Monster and Vast! The Crystal Cavern’s PayPal woes. Cry Havoc is the weekly review, where the hosts do battle on how the game’s many mechanics fit together and if it’s more than the sum of its parts. The Hype Train then departs(Choo-Choo Motherf**ker!) as our discussion topic delves into Hype and ways to avoid its pitfalls. Two new emails close out the show. Banter!

In recent Kickstarters, a bunch of interesting ones are currently active, including Wordsy from Gil Hova and the highest funded Tiny Epic game, Tiny Epic Quest.

Opacity, Transparency, and Player Incentives in Your Strategy Board Game Recorded at Metatopia 2014 Presented by Gil Hova Do people understand what’s going on in your game? Not just the rules, but can they tell who’s winning? If they should watch out for a dangerous player? If they know exactly how their move will impact their next few turns? Join designer Gil Hova as he discusses transparency and opacity in strategy board games. We will discuss what makes a game mechanism transparent or opaque, how they work (or fail) in existing games, and how to use them to incentivize players to make interesting plays.

RICHARD:        Hello, Richard Miles here for BoardGameAuthority.com. We have a pretty good show for you today. Our guest for this episode is Gil Hova and I'd like to start introducing our guests a little bit like this: [awesome Gil Hova intro] but we'll see if that sticks. For now, I'll probably just stick to letting the guests introduce themselves. Today, we're going to cover Gil's philosophy of board game theory, what led to his decision to self-publish, why he's not looking forward to the new Star Wars movie, and of course, we'll talk a little bit about his upcoming Kickstarter campaign 'The Networks.' So today, I'm talking with... GIL:                  Gil Hova of Formal Ferret Games. RICHARD:        Gil, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk with me today. I know that you are in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign that has 28 days left to go. It's called 'The Networks' and before we get into all that, and we certainly will talk a lot about that, I would like to, if you don't mind, to begin our discussion talking about game design theory. Some people might not even know what game design theory is or that it even exists, but I would like to talk about game design theory and possibly your philosophy that goes into game design. GIL:                  Sure, I think, for me, I can summarize it in three words and that is: Incentivize Interesting Behavior. I think that those three words sum up what good game design is. I think a good game designer it's not just a matter of choices, it's not just a matter of fun. A game designer wants to figure out what the interesting behavior is in their game and then arrange the game so that it incentivizes players to keep doing that interesting behavior. RICHARD:        I think a lot of game designers, at least today with the rise of Kickstarter, a lot of game designers get into designing board games because they've played a lot of games. That’s their credentials, they're: "I play a lot games, I love games, I want to make a game, I think I can do it”, but your take on it, and I don't want to put words in your mouth, but is that there's a little bit more to it than “you've played a lot of games”. GIL:                  Yeah, I mean, playing a lot of games is very good. I think a good designer really should be playing a lot of games just like a good musician will generally listen to a lot of music and, of course, you always have your outsiders. You have your people who came in from nowhere and haven't had a lot of experience, you know, someone they stumbled across something but that's a really hard road to lead to. You know, I would recommend that if you have the choice you'll have a much easier time of it if you play a lot of games but that said, you know, perceiving a game as a player is not quite the same as perceiving it as a designer and there's going to be a real difference in how the game plays when you're just looking at it having never really been on that side of things before and it's really, I mean, the incentivization is really an important part of that. Now, I'll give you an example: I was play testing a game this past weekend and that was actually a really nifty game but, you know, there were characters on a map and you had the option of either moving your characters or drawing tiles from a bag and nobody ever really moved the characters. On their turns everybody moved the bag and the designer said afterwards, you know, I asked the designer, "So do players usually move because it seems like we are pretty static?" And the designer answered, "Well, usually players move but I had one game where nobody moved and everybody lost the game because they kept on drawing tiles out of the bag. And I pointed out, 'Well, you know, you've got sort of an incentive of, “if you don't move then you're going to lose the game”, but if that's not clear and the game doesn't give that sort of feedback the fact is drawing the tiles out of the b...

Ryan and Geoff are joined by guest Gil Hova, designer of Prolix and Battle Merchants to discuss playtesting. What are the different types of playtests? How do you get the most out of your testing? What should you look for in testers? Duration: 01:10:38 NOTE: This is a revised version of this episode that corrects the audio issue.

Gil Hova is a board game designer. He’s also a programmer during the day, but his real passion lies in the design of puzzles and challenges, and figuring out what makes things “fun.” We chat about board games, video games, reviewers, egos, and the essence of fun.
