Jeff Fraser, designer of Cartouche, talks about various skill barriers in games and what you should be aware of when designing games with elements like spatial reasoning, dexterity, memory, math, and negotiation.

We talk about playtesting these elements, designing based on your target audience, and more.

Wicked and Wise is a new Kickstarter project from Weird Giraffe Games, a partner-based trick taking game with asymmetric roles and a high degree of cooperation. Jason is joined by designer Fertessa Allyse and artist Estefania Rodriguez to talk all about it. In the second half of the show, we talk about making it in the industry, being seen, overcoming the dreaded Impostor Syndrome, and navigating conventions in our "new normal."
