Beyond Solitaire

This week, Liz interviews Amabel Holland from Hollandspiele, and it's so hot it repeatedly upsets her laptop fan. If you're interested in a conversation about games that cover tough topics, and board games as art, you've come to the right place. You can find Hollandspiele games at their website, https://hollandspiele.com/

In this episode, Liz Davidson interviews Kirby Whitehead, her high school history teacher, about how he incorporates gaming—including COIN games—into his teaching. 

In this episode, Liz interviews Caitlyn Leong, a master's student in Security Studies at Georgetown University, about the process of becoming a professional wargamer. Caitlyn also has a fantastic article in PAXsims on the topic. 

In Part 2 of their conversation, Liz and Marco (best known as Marco Omnigamer on YouTube) talk about the future of wargaming, its accessibility, and how the gaming hobby in general can continue to grow. 

N.B.: Marco and I talk about inclusiveness in wargaming in this episode, but it was recorded several weeks ago—before George Floyd's death became national news. 

In Part 1 of their conversation, Liz interviews Marco Arnaudo (aka Marco Omnigamer) about games, the stories they tell, and how they compare with other storytelling media. Marco's most recent book on the subject is titled Storytelling in the Modern Boardgame, Narrative Trends from the Late 1960s to Today. 

Join Liz for an interview with Robert DeLeskie, designer of Wars of Marcus Aurelius and the upcoming Stilicho, about games set in later Roman history—and about how his work as a game designer connects to his career as a filmmaker. 

In this episode, Liz interviews David Thompson about his intensive research into the Battle of Mortain, which will ultimately inform his next game—but is also of general historical interest.
