Stuck in traffic due to the rain, Ryan decides to record a podcast about Duke, and how Skybound has him turning around on his long held opinion that there’s always a better choice than Duke.

In episode 93 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Julie Chen about her personality type social deduction game inspired by the Myers Briggs test and CLUE. We focus on how learning more about ourselves helped us both in life and in our designing process. She aimed to find a way to help players learn more about the assumptions we make in different situations like “would an introvert or extrovert be more likely to go to a coffee shop?” by building a social deduction game around these choices we’d make depending on the personality types we were given. Learn more about the different types of personalities by playing Emotional Intelligence!
