Game designer Ryan Courtney loves making connections (if you've played Pipeline or Curious Cargo, then you know what we're talking about). His newest creation, Trailblazers from Bitewing Games has you -- you guessed it -- making and blazing connecting trails in nature.

We invited Ryan as well as Bitewing co-founder Nick Murray to join our podcast to talk about this new project, other games that travel well, and more.

Topics this episode:

• Christina (host): Games would you pack for travel (18:22)
• Nick (guest): Games that work well at all (stated) player counts (25:17)
• Ryan (guest): Heavy games and their matchmaking problems (40:18)
