Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Garfield

Just a routine reading of Board Game Geek put me onto the release of today's focus game, King of Tokyo: Duel. There was a banner ad on the homepage. From there, a quick click over to my local game shop webpage allowed me to preorder the game. I did not need any more information. It was King of Tokyo. It was designed by Richard Garfield. It was two-player.Upon further inspection, it appeared to be a tug of war style game. It had the established characters. Well, my copy arrived. I went to get it. Edward and I sat down to play it.King of Tokyo Duel sets you and your opponent in a mano a mano battle over Tokyo. As with the original game, there are multiple ways to win: knock the other monster out,  get both the star and building markers into your spotlight zone, or one of the markers reaches the last space on your side of the board.Directing people to the get the games tab

In this special live episode recorded at Gen Con 2024, I share key lessons from my 20 years in the game industry, including insights from working with industry legends like Richard Garfield and designing major games like Ascension, Shards of Infinity, Bakugan, and SolForge Fusion. Here are some key takeaways:* Emotional Impact: Pay close attention to how games make players feel. Player experience is the most important metric for a game.* Set Deadlines: Setting deadlines and doing your best to hit them will change your life—deadlines are magic.* Core Design Loop: Focus on regular iteration and refining ideas.* Community: Building solid relationships with other creators is essential for growth. Always ask what value you can add, and you'll be headed in the right direction.If these ideas resonate with you, join my Think Like A Game Designer Mastery Course to receive hands-on guidance and turn your game ideas into reality. You'll have the opportunity to pitch your game to real publishers, work with a creative community, and receive expert feedback as you bring your designs to life. Sign up now!

Heute widmen wir uns einem Klassiker: mit "King of New York" hat Richard Garfield 2014 einen Nachfolger zu "King of Tokyo" abgeliefert, der das Konzept des Originalspiels noch einmal ordentlich aufbohrt. Wir haben uns den Klassiker noch einmal vorgenommen und sagen euch, ob es uns gefallen hat..

Andy and Anthony are joined by Richard Garfield, legendary game designer and the creator of Magic: the Gathering. Richard talks about how he got interested in modifying and tweaking games, his concept that players can be loosely understood as either ‘honers' or ‘innovators', and why some games with great mechanics have no soul as a result of overdevelopment. Andy and Anthony also take advantage of this opportunity to ask Richard about his relationship to Cube, getting insight into how he designs his own and what he values about the format. They cover all the most salient Cube topics, including handling feedback from players, how to approach power level outliers, and how to manage complexity. ⁠View all cards mentioned in the episode →⁠ Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 1:49 - Welcoming Richard Garfield to the show 3:31 - How Richard got started modifying games 11:12 - How do you know when a game has gotten too complex? 17:37 -  Honers vs. Innovators 22:48 - Richard's relationship to Cube 28:46 - On “Overdeveloped” Games 31:22 - The virtues of a wider power level band 43:09 - How to process feedback from players 46:58 - Is getting into nature an important part of Richard's creative process 49:15 - The role of visual and narrative elements in games 55:00 - Designing a meta vs designing a game 58:10 - Richard's current favorite games 1:02:56 - Richard's game design book recommendations Discussed in this episode: MH3 Community Review Survey and the Commander Set Survey Episode 202: Reading Series — The Creator of ‘Magic the Gathering' Knows Exactly Where it All Went Wrong Stratego Dungeons and Dragons Algomancy The Encyclopedia of Chess Variations Balatro Founders of Reyvik Finkel vs. Garfield Deckmasters Garfield vs. Finkel Product Slay the Spire Spectromancer Munchkin Innovation, by Carl Chudyk Quadradius Gamut of Games, by Sid Sackson New Rules for Classic Games, by R.

Andy and Anthony read and comment on the entirety of a recent article on the early history of Magic and it's creator's struggles with the game. The article, including quotes from an interview with Richard Garfield, explores his complex relationship to his creation. It explores his perspective on games, and why he values them. Since it's first publication, Richard has struggled to re-create the experiences he found most valuable from the pre-publication version. Our hosts unpack the article, give their own perspective, and inevitably tie it back to their own Cube experience. ⁠View all cards mentioned in the episode →⁠ Discussed in this episode: The PDH Pod, Episode 100 The Creator Of ‘Magic: The Gathering' Knows Exactly Where It All Went Wrong, by Nick Zarzycki on Defector Six Man Zonk Yahtzee Radical Markets, by Eric A.

Ich spreche mit Christian Endres über das Sammelkartenspiel Magic: The Gathering von Richard Garfield. Wir blicken zurück auf die Geschichte, tauschen Anekdoten aus und stellen unsere Lieblingskarten vor. Christian hat sogar einige Flavor-Texte beigesteuert und kennt einen der deutschen Illustratoren. Ach so: Am Ende gibt es noch zwei Fantasy-Klassiker als Buchtipps.

 Since bursting onto the scene in the mid-1990s, Magic the Gathering has become one of the most popular games of all time, with millions of players collecting cards to battle each other in an imaginary fantasy realm. But Magic's early success came with a problem: the price of the game's most powerful and rare cards surged along with its popularity. Eventually, Magic's creators worried that the game would become too expensive and was at risk of becoming a short-lived fad. So, how do you pop a bubble in collectibles without completely alienating collectors? In this episode, we speak with Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic the Gathering, and Arka Ray, a long-time game developer at Microsoft who's now CEO of Richard's new gaming studio, Popularium. They talk about the surprising parallels between MTG and central banking, what they've learned from Magic, and how they're applying those lessons to Chaos Agents, Popularium's first new gaming launch. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ten years ago, your Going Analog hosts Christina and Shoe were obsessed with the digital collectible card game SolForge. Sadly, the daily (and nightly) sessions of lane-based combat mixed with a revolutionary upgradable-card system went away when the game eventually sunsetted (solsetted?). But, Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering, Android Netrunner) and Justin Gary (Ascension, Shards of Infinity) knew their co-design still had some...ahem, magic to it, so they revived it via Kickstarter as a tabletop experience, SolForge Fusion. Now SolForge is full-circling its career by returning to its original format. This time, however, the new digital game will work with its physical counterpart on a truly ambitious new platform. We chat with Richard and Justin about SolForge and SolForge Fusion's interesting journey, with its ups and downs and ups again -- and what fans can expect from the franchise moving forward.  Timeline: 3:32 - Going Analog's game pick: Critter Kitchen. 6:36 - Richard & Justin's pick: Dominion. 13:01 - Richard & Justin & Going Analog's combo topic: SolForge's journey from digital to physical and back to digital.

I enjoy random walks as much as any econ PhD out of the University of Chicago, but how am I supposed to handle the inability to control my Shatterpoint deck and dice variance?!?!?! (Like many of you, I am also still reeling from Fama sharing the Nobel Prize with Hansen and Shiller. What a wild world we live in.) In this episode, Matt leads a discussion as to how to think about randomness in Shatterpoint, how luck and skill are not mutually exclusive (thanks Richard Garfield), and how to leverage and enjoy both in your gaming. We focus on how Obi-Wan is an exemplary piece in smoothing out randomness in crucial aspects of your matches, but also how randomness can be skill-testing in a way that is extremely satisfying. You will enjoy this discussion. Here's a link to Richard Garfield's lecture on Skill vs. Luck in games. Join the Slack!!!

Jim talks with Frank Lantz, game designer and director of the Game Center at New York University, about Network Wars and the art of game-making. They discuss Frank's first reaction to Network Wars, how the game works, elegance in game design, the simplest possible expression of an idea, Frank's overall score record, high stochasticity in the combat results, the combination of high skill & high variance, the tendency to bend randomness in favor of the player's instincts, learning from poker, whether there are some setups that you can't win, being rewarded for understanding the mechanics, climbing the ladder of heuristics, semi-tractable problems, how games demonstrate the world's complexity, network topology games, deterministic AIs, heuristics of Network Wars, connection games, the prisoner's dilemma, choosing not to optimize, a Presbyterian universe, the idea of live Network Wars, new games with the same underlying dynamics, the doubling cube, games that incentivize creativity, how Network Wars kept Frank sane in a difficult time, games as the art form of problem solving, the power of games to help us understand, and much more.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we get our nerd on and talk about Magic: The Gathering. Magic was the brainchild of Richard Garfield, and he published it through the little known gaming company called Wizards of the Coast. His concept was a card game that was cheap to make and was infinitely expandable. So, unlike other games, you didn't just buy one copy and call it a day, but collected it and always had a thirst for more. In the past 30 years, this indie game has become a juggernaut with millions of players and billions in revenue. It may be the most fun game on the market, so if you want to learn how it works, hear about its history, or just listen to us nerd out for a bit, this is the one for you!   Visit Our Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-twenty-five-year-journey-of-magic-the-gathering https://www.thegamer.com/magic-gathering-history-facts/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse_(Magic:_The_Gathering) https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3b4n9/magic-the-gathering-professional-earnings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_jvMTCSHoY

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   We start with a topic we did not get to last week and talk about the modern Digimon Card game.  From there we talk about Fallout 76 and Thalen beginning the game, along with the various improvements that have happened over the years.  We talk very briefly and very spoiler free about how good She-Hulk was.  Kodra talks a bit about Taiji and its more approachable and less pretentious version of The Witness.  Bel talks a bit about the Torchlight Infinite Open Beta and how you can actually use keybinds now.  Ash talks about the card game roguelike Roguebook, and while Richard Garfield was involved it is nothing like Magic.  Tam talks about how good the Leagues of Votann are and then dives into a topic about finding his white whale and how dumb limited availability items are. Topics Discussed Digimon Card Game Fallout 76 She-Hulk was Phenomenal Taiji Torchlight Infinite is Playable Roguebook Squats are Back Limited-Availability is Dumb

00:00 - DIY, Oodies, a birthday, and an aversion to wool. 05:51 - PlayStation 4 corker The Order: 1886 (as discussed in Ep156) continues to impress. 10:24 - Everdale (last chatted about in Ep136) is closing down its servers, and now we're in a sentimental mood, discussing games experiences now gone forever. 17:10 - A special early look at the asymmetrical, pirate-themed board game Ahoy from Leder Games. Lighter than Root, but scratches that itch in a very similar way. 28:51 - Dungeons, Dice & Danger is Ravensburger and Richard Garfield's new roll and write, and it manages to give maths real personality. This isn't “just another” roll and write, this is something special. 45:09 - One Page Dungeon Contest is an annual RPG adventure writing competition, asking writers to create a system-agnostic piece of content that fits on a single side of A4, and it's a great time. 55:57 - Binge shaving. All that, and Fat Willy's, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner). Our Spotify Playlist brings together lots of great thematic music inspired by the stuff we talk about. Go check it out, if you like.

Featuring:  Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks!  We were expecting to be down both a Grace and a Tam but at the very last minute, Tam was available.  We talked a bit about the new Return to Monkey Island game and how it is educating us on important anchor facts.  From there we talk about one of the longest-to-deliver Kickstarter called Two Guys Spaceventure, which styles itself as a new Space Quest game but largely fails at delivering.  From there we talk about the card games of Richard Garfield and what his initial design intent was versus how the games actually play.  From there we talk a bit about Star Ocean: The Divine Force which has released a demo this week.  We talked a bit about the announcement of the 4000 Series Nvidia cards and the 70% price increase that comes with them.  We talked about how Twitch seems to be eating itself and the onslaught of folks shifting to YouTube after changes in revenue splits.  Finally, Bel talks about getting a Steam Deck and how he has already caused his device to get into a boot loop.  We talk a bit about how the hardware works so well for being a completely hands-off console for Tam but also allowing Bel to tinker endlessly with his setup. Topics Discussed Return to Monkey Island Two Guys Spaceventure As Garfield Intended Pokemon Magic the Gathering Richard Garfield's Intent Star Ocean: The Divine Force Demo Nvidia Price Hike Don't buy a 4000 Series Card AMD Price Drops Twitch Eats Itself The migration to YouTube Bricking the Steam Deck Bel gets a Deck and Fiddles with it Logitech G Cloud doesn't make sense

Let us not, as the saying goes, hold the perfect in opposition to the good. We here at SVWAG always encourage the lowering of standards, which the hosts tend to do by their very presences--dragging down the average of any group of which they are a part. We offer but a portion of an episode, but let us be optimists and observe that that allows us to be less wrong.01:34 AYURIS: Versailles 1919 (Geoff Engelstein & Mark Herman, GMT Games, 2020)Games Played Last Week:05:42 -Creature Comforts (Roberta Taylor, Kids Table BG, 2022)10:18 -IKI (Koota Yamada, Sorry We Are French, 2015)14:24 -The Red Cathedral (Israel Cendrero & Sheila Santos, Devir Games, 2020)18:45 -Switch & Signal (David Thompson, KOSMOS, 2020)22:55 -Core Worlds (Andrew Parks, Stronghold, 2011)26:08 -SCOUT (Kei Kajino, Oink Games, 2019)28:50 -Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'n Write (Brian Lewis, David McGregor, & Marissa Misura, Pandasaurus Games, 2021)31:16 -Just One (Ludovic Roudy & Bruno Sautter, Repos Production, 2018)33:30 -Brass: Birmingham (Gavan Brown, Matt Tolman, & Martin Wallace, Roxley, 2018)36:40 -Uprising: Curse of the Last Emperor (Cornelius Cremin, Pawel Mazur, & Dirk Sommer, Nemesis.Games, 2021)38:33 -Clinic Deluxe Edition (Alban Viard, AVStudioGames, 2019)News (and why it doesn't matter):40:43 Pathways: Canadian dexterity game on Kickstarter41:25 Come see Warmboy's website sowronggames.com!
