 What goes on inside the mind of one of Britain’s best-known board game designers? Tony Boydell shares his love of books, board games, and a blog he has somehow kept alive since 2011.  Along the way, we discuss British games, unusual books, incorrect maps, and why starting a “small personal project” is how lifelong obligations are born.
