Greetings Entreprenerds!
My guest this week is Gabe Barrett, game designer, host of the Board Game Design Lab podcast and author of Board Game Design Advice: From the Best In the World. The weekly podcast interviews designers, publishers and board game insiders on specific topics that listeners will find valuable for progressing through game design. Rather than including additional information about pop culture or recent games, this show gets right to the valuable insights for helping game designers.
His book includes interviews with over 60 of the best board game designers in the world.
In this episode we discuss:
- 3:00 How Gabe got started in game design
- 8:00 Importance of creating specific podcast episode topics
- 12:30 Creating bonus episodes for added value
- 17:00 Asking your audience for input about what they want
- 21:00 How Gabe has marketed his podcast
- 22:30 Writing Board Game Design Advice: From the Best In the World
- 27:00 Best advice for game designers in the book
- 32:30 Future plans for Board Game Design Lab
