This time were were joined by Helaina Cappel from KTBG/ Burnt Island Games, Anne-Marie DeWitt from Fireside Games, Isaac Vega from Rose Gauntlet Games, and Danni Loe from Hachette Games. We discuss content creator-publisher relationships, focusing this time on the importance of influencers in their business and the incentive publishers have to 'control the narrative' about their games.

In episode 49 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Roberta Taylor about her game Creature Comforts published by KTGB. This game was initially inspired by the changing of the seasons in Canada. The worker placement with the interesting dice mechanics came shortly after. Roberta talks about her design process, having Helaina Cappel look at her design then sign it after the Gathering of Friends. From the cute woodland creatures to the concept of cozy game design described in video games she was playing, Roberta designed a game that sold out immediately after it was delivered to backers. Both a good and bad problem to have! Featuring: Roberta Taylor - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host

Welcome back! After a brief hiatus, we attempt to figure out how to do this in real time even though we never really had any clue, and I am making a New Years vow to never say, “We already talked about this on the podcast.” We discuss some Nintendo Switch games we have been playing including, Golf Story(again), The Messenger, and Katana Zero before diving into board games. We conclude with our final thoughts on Survivor Season 41 and its controversial(?) ending.Correction: During our conversation about Cartographers(which we love), I mentioned the designer as Keith Matejka, however the designer is Jordy Adan!
