On this week’s episode of Board Gaming with Education Dustin interviews Matt Pinchuk. Matt is the owner of All Aboard Games, a Montreal-based company that provides schools and educators with games-based learning programs. The two dive deep into how the player agency that is present in modern board games aids in their educational value and how Matt pitches the distinction to educators that might be used to more traditional games. We learn about All Aboard Games and get Matt’s views on games-based learning and what he’s doing to share those ideas and grow his company.
