Game Design Deep Dive

Interview with John Butterfield


Listen Later

As a designer, John Butterfield is a bit of a troublemaker. He likes to insert friction in his designs where wargamers aren’t used to finding it. His games don’t just tell stories, they host a space for players to make their OWN stories. His titles include Ambush, RAF, Enemy Action: Ardennes & Karkov, the D-Day Series, Hell’s Highway and so many more. We discuss solitaire design, the evolution of his work, and his collaboration with Kai Jensen on Downfall.

Outro music: Jessica Ackerley All Of the Colours Are Singing | Jessica Ackerley (bandcamp.com)
