In this episode of Board Gaming with Education, Dustin interviews Chad Elkins, the founder and lead designer of the Atlanta-based company, 25th Century Games. 25th Century Games is a tabletop game and puzzle developer whose goal is to bring people together through face-to-face interactions in a world where technology is decreasing the amount of in-person socialization. Dustin and Chad discuss a range of topics, like Chad’s introduction to the board gaming hobby and his decision to include historical and educational context to pique player’s interest. The two also touch on the importance of design and enjoyability as something to focus on when developing a successful table-top board game.
