The Bezzy Breakfast/Bedtime Board Game Blether
On Thursday, I appeared on the Bez Shahriari’s daily board game show. Every day, she chats about board games with other designers, publishers and enthusiasts.
We talked about going to board game conventions as a family and the difference between physical conventions and the new virtual conventions of 2020.
This weekend is Virtually Expo, this year’s replacement to UK Games Expo. It’s free to attend, so have a look about, explore the stands, watch some shows & interviews and play some games!
Sheffield Board Games Club Podcast
I had the pleasure of guesting on the Sheffield Board Games Club podcast this month.
We talked about how I work to design family friendly games that will also appeal to hobby gamers.
Have a listen!
