It’s the 13th episode of the Board Game Times podcast and we’ve got a packed double-feature for you. First, Clark speaks with George Jaros, organizer of the 2021 Extra Life Charity Auction running from November 5 to November 12th. Find out how you can participate and donate to this worthy cause and get the details on George’s 24-hour gaming livestream that kicks off the event!
Next up we’ve got Andrew Nerger, co-owner and game designer — along with fellow designer and co-owner Jeff Chin — of R2i Games in Chicago. Their latest Kickstarter for new game Don’t Go In There — featuring a dice tower integrated into the box! — is live for a few more days!
Andrew talks with Clark about R2i’s success in designing and self-publishing multiple games on Kickstarter. From their first game Road To Infamy to their latest critical and commercial success Canvas, you’ll hear what each project has taught them and what it’s like to get a new game company off the ground. You’ll also find out why Andrew isn’t the biggest fan of pirate or survival games!
