What kind of game are we making? The golf game? A trick taking game for tricksters? Maybe a board game to chase away the nightmares. We don't know yet, but listen in on our discussion as we talk about our early concepts and weigh theme vs. mechanics as a starting point.

Go behind the scenes to see what goes into creating a podcast and a board game company. You know, the business stuff. We talk about our partnership agreement and share our roadmap to become board game designers.

The Misplay is breaking into board game design. What's the best way? Make a game, of course. We created and play tested two PnP games that you can download and play. Join our journey as we take a game from nothing to crowdfunding.
