Dan Hughes is known by many of us in the board gaming hobby for his reviews of children's board games along with his young daughter Cora.  During the drudgery of distant learning and piles of worksheets, Dan decided to engage Cora's creativity by designing a board game together.  What started as a fun and educational project grew and developed into a proper game that launched on Kickstarter February 1st. 

We talk about the game, about Kickstarter, properly introducing kids to board games and so much more.

Warning for my listeners, this episode is a deep dive into board games.  If you are not into board games in a major way a lot of this episode is going to go over your head a little bit.  But if you love love love board games like me this interview with designer Jonny Pac is going to be fascinating.  He provides insight into what goes into the creation of a board game, the amazing growth of kickstarter, how Covid is affecting the hobby and so much more.

Jonny's latest project which is receiving a lot of great buzz is currently on Kickstater.  It is  Endless Winter by Fantasia Games which we discuss in depth.
