The Cult Film postcard game continues with Josh Mills and his Edward Scissorhands inspired dexterity game, Scissorcards. Josh joined the project just as we were about to fill up and thankfully the remaining films were right up his alley. Jason Tagmire interviews Josh about being mortal enemies, his surprising film background (that's two now!) and they touch on Scissorhands a bit.

A few episodes ago, we started the Board Game Road Trip. Ben Begeal (PA) and Jason Tagmire (NJ) took a stab at making a game and passing it down the line. Well the first in line is Benny Sperling all the way in Texas. Ben and Benny met up and made drastic changes to the game. It's now called Paint The Roses Red, with an all new theme and a whole bunch of new mechanics.

Button Shy's very first Cult Film Postcard Game is out as part of our Board Game of the Month Club. The push-your-luck card game Say What Again was designed by Ben Begeal and was obviously inspired by the cult classic, Pulp Fiction. In this long form interview Jason Tagmire interviews Ben about the film and its inspiration for the game. DIRECT LINK: http://www.buttonshy.com/bs/diy/DIYBG004.mp3

Ben Begeal is heading up the Board Game Road Trip, a design project where one designer starts a game and then another designer picks it up where they left off. Ben will travel with the current version of the game, meeting up with designers, developers, and playtesters across the country. In this episode we learn about the initial design that Ben (PA) came up with and then Jason Tagmire (NJ) makes the first changes.

Jason Tagmire and Ben Begeal (designer of Say What Again, developer of many Button Shy Games) run through setting up 12 different artists for 12 postcard games, and the struggles involved. as well as the struggles of working with artists with a language barrier. They also discuss doing a small local convention and having to leave an hour into it due to Jason's business credit card being stolen. The episode wraps with some thoughts on Avignon’s current Kickstarter success. DIRECT LINK: http://www.buttonshy.com/bs/diy/DIYBG002.mp3
