Next Episode: Victory Pointers 013 - Designing Experiences and Tabletopia Playtesting with Philip duBarry

Kim's game, Monstrous, is now being shipped to backers! We also
chat about shipping games, dexterity games and designing games with
kids and families in mind. In the second half of the show, we are
joined by ex-Melbourne based designer Peter C Hayward about his
(just finished) first Kickstarter for Scuttle!, designing with kids
in mind, and the benefits of networking when making board
games.

Also, we have our own iTunes feed now!

(Huge apologies for the lateness of this episode. Aaron's hard
drive suffered a catastrophic failure and we couldn't get this
episode out in time while Peter's Kickstarter was still running.
Sorry!)
