Episode #17: Who Said Historical Simulations/Games Can’t be Immensely Fun? Kevin Bertram and Tory Brown from Fort Circle Games

Today on the pod 20 Sided Gamified features two fantastic, interesting, easy to talk to boardgame designers- Kevin Bertram and Tory Brown of Fort Circle Games. Located in/near Washington DC, Fort Circle Games, with CEO and founder Kevin at the helm, is dedicated to designing games that take complex historical events and transform them into easy to learn games. With popular titles like "The Halls of Montezuma" and "Shores of Tripoli", Kevin has designed and curated games that are both educational and fun. Tory Brown, an author working with Fort Circle, was also featured on the pod as her game "Votes for Women", about Women's Suffrage, has really been the talk of the town in so many gaming circles. Again, much like the other titles in the Fort Circle library, this is an exceedingly playable game which also serves as a wonderful educator and teacher all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with both Kevin and Tory, and hope to pair up with them in the future to do some classroom work, given that their titles are literally perfect for any academic setting. Please enjoy the show!
