I was talking with a fellow designer at a Protospiel about past Spiel des Jahres winners. About how it is sad that some of these games, these games that helped propel the board game hobby to the heights it is today, are no longer available. We then started looking at some of the games, and I couldn't help purchasing a few. One that struck my interest was Andreas Seyfath's Manhattan, 1994's winner. He is better known for creating the 2002 game Puerto Rico. He and his wife won the 2006 Spiel des Jahres for Thurn and Taxis, which is also on my list to procure but it is quite, QUITE, expensive. Anyway, back to Manhattan, the subject of this episode. What caught my eye was the table presence. You are physically stacking buildings to build skyscrapers in the eponymous city.In Manhattan, you and your opponents are fighting to construct skyscrapers in six different neighborhood districts of the island: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Downtown, Soho, and Wall Street. Points are scored in three ways: owner of each building (player with the top floor), control of each district (player controlling the majority of buildings in a district), and owner of the tallest building (player with top floor of the building with the most floors). When the game ends, the player with the most points wins. Can you outthink, outwit, and outbuild your opponents?Manhattan on BGG

Your Kickstarter board game needs to be playtested. There's no better place to play test than an Unpub or Protospiel. But you can't just show up, sit down and expect to be successful. You have to prepare yourself to attend, prepare yourself to know what you want to learn. With this proper preparation, you will find success. Ed Baraf of Pencil First Games shares key ingredients to successful preparation.

Peter Vaughan the Director of Development at Breaking Games. They sponsored Protospiel San Jose and were showing their prototype Rising Tribes, going live on Kickstarter in June. Do you want to design or do you want to publish? It is very hard to do both and as a Kickstarter creator, you really need to determine what you want to do and what you are good at.

Brian Henk from Overworld Games talks blind playtesting and how critical it is. We are at Protospiel San Jose and he is watching families sit down and play his game, Barker's Row, without him being able to explain anything or say anything. Talk about a tough job. We talk about making it in the board game industry and the success of his past Kickstarter games.

David Sanhueza launched three Kickstarter campaigns in order to fully fund a single project. First was the artwork, which then rolled into the main project, when then rolled into a campaign for stretch goals. It is an interesting way to break up a funding campaign to fund small portions at a time and build exposure for your project. We are live at Protospiel San Jose chatting about his strategy.

You may raise $100,000 on Kickstarter for your board game, but without proper playtesting, you won't raise it your second time. There are common mistakes that new game designers make when creating a game. Proper playtesting can flush those problems out and help move your game from good to great. Jeremy Commanduer has been running Protospiel San Jose for four years and discusses how the importance of these prototype conference are to the success of Kickstarter boardgames.
