Quotes (from this video)
  • There's some games that just don't seem like they fit on the table. Sometimes, literally.
  • The digital space, the game doing that for you just makes the experience better in my opinion.
  • This is a good example of where becoming a board game can go drastically wrong.
  • The math and the scoring algorithm at the end of the game was complex enough we didn't want to learn how to do it.
  • So, I think this and and most versions of Risk should be digital.
  • Half the game is spent doing management of the systems that you're trying to explore through.
  • The experience of play is taken down a notch due to the degree of management necessary, which is a theme we see across the board in many areas.
