Minnov8 Gang 354 – How to Survive the Apocalypse
People often joke about how we should be teaching our kids about the zombie and other potential apocalyptic events depicted in books, graphic novels, movies and TV. Thankfully there is an answer: Teach them by playing an incredibly fun board game that geeks and their families will love!
Our guest this week is Seppy Yoon, Chief Designer & Ogre at Fight In A Box who has made just such a game. Hear more from him about it, the nearly ended (and successful!) Kickstarter campaign, along with our usual tech story discussions on this week’s show.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and Phil Wilson.

Seppy’s escape from corporate america was more grueling than Snake Plissken and New York. He has been writing games longer than is polite to ask.

Quotes:
