Board games hold a special place in our lives. Being part of a group of friends, family, or a great combination of both gathered around a table focused on global domination or more trivial pursuits, games bring about community, laughter, and if you’re anything like my family, occasionally tears. This week's guest, Jason Miceli, of Phase Shift games brings us along his life’s journey of game development. Jason gives us an inside glimpse into the world of tabletop gaming, from concept and design to production, including some interesting effects of a global pandemic on the gaming world. We discuss a popular new (to us) style of “drop gaming” featured in the addictive Phase Shift game ”Dungeon Drop”. Enjoy. https://www.phaseshiftgames.com/ If you’ve been feeling #anxious or #stressed about #COVID19 lately, it's okay.
