Dave Beck, designer of Distilled, talks about improving games through experiential graphic design.

Dave did a TON of research for his latest game, hired experts, and dove as deeply into the theme as he could. So, he’s got a lot of advice for anyone wanting to make a super thematic game.

And be sure to check out Dave’s game, Distilled, on Kickstarter HERE.

Dan Thurot the Space-Biff returns to the show to continue our critical reflection of what we are doing as board gaming media and content creators. In this episode, we take a deeper look at board game previews. We all know the epithets - hype train, cult of the new, etc. Yet, Dan and I both engage in preview content. We examine our approach and our desire to maintain healthy relationships with ourselves, publishers, and our audience.
