In today's episode, I'm taking a look at the game, captive which is put out by van rider games. It is a graphic novel adventure based game. Yes. That's right. Graphic novel adventure game. Stay tuned for that. And then for an interview with the president of van rider games. Welcome to board game impact my name is Bruce Brown and I'm your host now. What board game impact is for those of you who are new, it's a podcast as well as other media outlets that we also have a Facebook YouTube, and Instagram in which I bring my educational background. I'm getting my PHD in human resource development, which is to go out there and help organizations and individuals make a positive impact on the world. And combine that with my passion for board games, and all with the hope of helping you the listener make educated decisions for the betterment of your gaming group and your experience within the hobby now today. I've got a very interesting episode for you in that we're going to be looking at the game, captive which is put out by van rider games, extremely unique compared to many other games you've ever experienced in your life. Now say this because the game doesn't have a box the game is a book and it's a graphic novel adventure book, and we're going to be taking a look quickly. It will my experience has been. Playing through this game played through it several times now. And then also stay tuned for the latter half of this episode the majority of this episode which is going to be a conversation about this, and the other games in its series with myself and the president of van writer games. So I've already said, but unlike many other games captive is not a box. It is a book. It's a literal graphic adventure book. And when you open it up, it's got very nice art with different panels, and quote, bubbles and things like that. And just as a heads up, I will be avoiding going into too much detail about the contents of it because this is a game where since adventure based, there are spoilers. I'm trying to seek to have this be spoiler free. So that way you can really unlock these things for yourself. If it's something you sound of interest,
