The best stories take the reader on a journey.
Who better to tell stories about board games than the people who create them?
This page contains interviews with board game designers and publishers.
Here you will them talk about how their games travelled from inspiration to publication.
Read them to learn from others’ experiences on your own board game journey or read just them for fun.
Either way, I hope you enjoy them.
