I really enjoy this game design podcast because it is also about "battle" games which is what I like to design vs some Euro trading game (which I do like to play).Read full review »

Solid podcast for discussions on a variety of game design topics. It’s very useful to listen to if you’re feeling stuck in your own game designs or want to level up your design skills & abilities.

While being just a player and not a designer I do enjoy your other pod cast especially about co...Read full review »

This podcast is awesome for anyone about to dive into their own game creation and development. What fascinated me most is the structured and analytical approach clearly focussing on the immediate goals but always checking against how this benefits the long term goal, i.e. the final game.
