    ***The Babble*** 1:09:30

    While we have a real life, bonafide publisher with us, let’s find out who are the designers that they would like to have working in-house. But before that, let’s see what thing that make a publisher, publish a game.

    What do publishers look for in a game design?

    If a designer has a game that fits into one of your “world’s” is that that you look for?

    If a designer has this great game, but requires an IP’s, is this a  good thing to search for?

    We each list off 5 designers we’d have work for our production company (if we had one).

    You know how the film end and all the plot twist along the way. Does it ruin your experience if you watch it again? Now board games are doing the same, with linear story telling and plot twist that you will discover. But will you play it again?

    ***The Babble*** 1:08:24

    Board game that have a narrative. A story. A line of play. Should they be considered a real game or just a one off experience, if you can only play them once…?

    Does a “only play once” game justify space on your shelf?

    Does knowing the outcome spoil the second play?

    Are there ways around the linier narration?

    How do you feel about spoilers?
