Game design may, or may not, be your full-time occupation. Statistically speaking, it is very likely that it is not.

This motivational book is about the reality of life as a tabletop game designer.

I’ve been working in the board game industry for the last 10 years, with many published games, and chronicling my experiences on my YouTube channel ‘Adam in Wales – Board Game Design’. I’ve become known for my open, honest account of my experiences of designing games, pitching to publishers, negotiating contracts, and my focus on board games as commercial products.

I’m not going to tell you how to make a million by selling games. I’m not going to guarantee that you’ll even get a game published.

This book will tell you the truth about the industry – or at least, provide you with a sincere account of one designer’s experience. The information in these pages will sometimes be challenging, but also affirming. My goal is to encourage you in your game design endeavours, whatever stage you are at in your journey.

This is a book about becoming the kind of person who can sustain a life in design.

Each uplifting chapter describes a host of lessons I've learned about managing my own mindset as a designer.

1. You are not an aspiring designer. You are a designer.
2. There is no win condition. Your only competition is with yourself.
3. If it scares you, it’s worth exploring.
4. Each mechanism asks a question. Your game is the solution.
5. Tom Vasel is not your fiercest critic. You are.
6. Build a community. They will energise you.
7. You are not a pawn. You are a queen (or king).

Adam's published games include Pikoko, Doodle Rush, Kompromat, Qwuzzle, Zooligans, Thrown, Big Bazar, Happy Hoppers, Ballot Battle, and Zing-a-Zam.

The Best Board Games For Two Players...That Aren't Specifically Two Player! (Episode 12)

✇Board Of It
Von: Board Of It

💾

We thought we'd share our favourite games to play when it's just the two of us, that aren't specifically designed for two players! It's quite easy these days to find a list of great games for two players only, but much harder to figure out if games designed for 4 or 6 players would be worth getting if you only play with two people. We briefly describe each game and then take you through which aspects of the game design make it so much fun at two players, while contrasting it with what is different at higher player counts.

This is episode 12 so be sure to check out the others!

🎲 We helped a local board game company select games for localization… and it was fun!
In this special episode, we step behind the scenes at Brain Games to see what it actually takes to run a localization department of a board game company.
We got to test 10 solid board games and give our 10 cents which board games should take up the shelf space in our friendly neighborhood store and all that just in one day.
