Episode 68: Special Guests: Sydney Engelstein and Nick Little. Plus a few HUGE Announcements!

 

Drop everything! You don't want to miss this!!

In this exciting episode Steve, Sarah and Dan are joined by two juggernauts in the boardgaming industry today: Director of Game Development at Stronghold Games - Sydney Engelstein, and VP of Game Development at Indie Boards & Cards - Nick Little. They talk about their journeys into the industry, some of their collaborations over the years, and what it has been like working together on the Aeon's End series. And then the pair give the podcast not one, not two, but three massive exclusives!!

 

Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold

Terraforming Mars: The Ares Expedition

Aeon's End: (as yet unnamed)

 

I think there were Sizzling Games and Swearing of Oaths in there somewhere as well, but after we picked ourselves up off the floor, who can really be sure?
