Continuing on with our Oceania theme, Conor and Dana Banana are back and chatting to Aussie designer, Craig E. Somerton. Craig is still on a high after a successful Kickstarter with his first published game, Farm Hand. He talks about his journey in board gaming and designing, and in particular, his affinity for trick-taking games. He even hints at his new design!
As usual, when Conor and Banana get together, the episode is full of tangents that seem to go nowhere. Somewhere in between, is the occasional nod to a classic game in Five Tribes and Agricola while Craig gives us his no.1 trick-taker of all time.
As this episode was recorded in a post Cyclone Alfred time-warp, there is no Question of the Pod, but still lots of laughs and gaming conversation to enjoy!
