Interesting how people only started talking about entwined drafting after Cascadia, when Vinci not only did it back in 1999, but also combined it with the self-balancing market that Century would later use.

I happen to be really into both board game design and personal development so this was a great video for me! Thank you 🙏😊

A great talk and I understand the very negative feeling you got of this playtester. I have memory from the first game i showe to a game design group. I had only had contact online with the group. My idea was not set at all and I was a beginner. It was a card game. He said bluntly that this card game does not work because you can cheat.… That took some time ro recovery from that.

Game Suggestion to brighten your day: Have you tried Calico or Taverns of Tiefenthal? Calico is an adorable theme of quilting the prettiest quilt so that cats will want to sleep on it. It hides a VERY tricky strategy. Taverns of Tiefenthal has a cool teaching method of 7 modules that you can add one at a time over 7 plays (or more) to get you from starting rules to a really full set of rules. It's pretty cool and I like how they presented the rules. It was a good experience that had each of the modules changing the game in an interesting way.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at your "looking for a home" games and potentially seeing if I could develop them further?

Definitely felt the same with harsh critiques from playtesters. It's super annoying when it's entirely group dependent and not really a fault of the game

GIRL ... I feel that. When we went to Protospiel this year, my buddy made a very fun trick taking game and everyone loved it. People who didn't normally like trick taking games loved it. And the people who loved trick taking games liked it, but didn't love it - BUT - they had a lot of good feedback. Then one group that came through to playtest the game came to the table and played only ONE round, said "okay, that's enough of that... I think we can go into feedback time." Which, is insane. Literally the round took like 3 or 4 minutes. Bananas. Makes no sense. You can't even fully experience the game from one round. What were they thinking? So, then they continued to go around the table just completely ripping the game apart. One lady said "So, like on my turn, I didn't get anything good, so therefore, I just think this game needs some work." Why? WHY??? Why are people like this? LOL I sat at a couple other tables with those people and they were also giving extremely unreasonably harsh criticism that were so unnecessary. That's one of those core memories I'll never forget haha!

1. I want you to win the lottery! 😂 - That game design house sounds amazing! 2. How many games are you currently working on? 3. Do you see yourself ever co-designing a game?

Most certainly volleyball is my sport. I play year round and help run events in my neck of the woods. :)

+1 for you moving to St Louis ;) So great to meet and play games with you!!

We had such a positive experience our first time playtesting with the public that we are worried our next con (in two weeks) isn't going to live up to that first experience. We have worked non-stop since March and the newest version is SO different. There is a small part of me worried that the repeat testers won't like the newest version. We had two guys who came back every day of the first con. Also, do you ever worry, when you interact with people during playtesting, that making the experience better by being friendly and engaging damages the feedback you get?

I feel your pain about the rude play tester. I had one particular play tester at BGG Con last Fall that just clearly did not like the type of game I was play testing and would just say that everything was "stupid". "Oh, I flip a tile and get the resource under that tile? that's just random and stupid..." 😂 I knew it was going to be a long session...

UA-cam decided to be SUPER UNCOOPERATIVE tonight, so check out the Twitch stream instead: www.twitch.tv/videos/2238506634

It's Car-Kah-Sawn

Wow! That looked SO AMAZING! 💗 I want to live there!

That does look nice, I'm guessing they didn't get hit by meeple gate?

Looks like an awesome time! Glad you got to go, and I'm sure you made lots of great contacts ^_^ Seems like a great bunch of designers!

I just bought this game! I’m so excited to play it, and I discovered your channel. New subscriber!

I’m so envious of all of you. I’m a game designer in Australia and us girls so often miss out on things like this due to being so far away. I’m really hoping that I can save enough money you travel to the states next year to be able to attend things like GenCon and go to protospeils. Thanks for posting this so I could at least vicariously enjoy your amazing experience.

I understand that there is a disc golf course there as well. I hope you all got to play a round or two. I have been playing disc golf since the mid-1980s, and it ranks above even board games for me.

Excellent stuff - they should have named their game 'Meepal Inc' and just to be sure to be sure not shipped to Germany. Although copies would be freely available via a large online retailer with global reach.

Wooww! They even have the nice firm chairs. 😮

Love seeing som many wonderful people having fun and designing and playing games. ❤ Thos location is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Any women+ who design games, be sure to join my besties group on FB! It is a wonderful, supportive community: facebook.com/groups/boardgamebesties

What a fantastic event. I hope this catches on. The hobby can really benefit from the different voices and perspectives that such an event helps nurture. It will be interesting to see any future game design journals that credit this event as the spark for the next Wingspan. Hopefully one of yours too!

I wish everyone could have a place like that nearby! What a cool event. Any cannonballs into the water?

Such an awesome video, looks like an awesome experience!!! So quick question, as I'm working on my third attempt at board game design (the 1st two ideas didn't make it out of playtesting), what suggestions can you give for getting rid of those intrusive thoughts that I'm just kidding myself if I think I'll ever create a game?

Gamers Ranch is one of the greatest places on earth. I've been lucky enough to spend a dozen or so weekends there over the last 5 years or so. I haven't been able to book a weekend (due to my schedule) for the last year or so AND I am sorely missing Gamers Ranch time.

That place looks like heaven.

Oh, the sacrifices you make for your craft! That view over the lake, that would be hard to take. 😂 Thanks for sharing

yt promote to top of trending... gets 400 views in 24 hrs 🤣

Holy S... what a "house"!

Very jealous of such an experience!

Wow, what a phenomenal space! More games there than at a game store! I'm glad this was such a great experience for everyone involved

This looks like the place that I would move into for the rest of my life if I did not have a family

Awesome. As the poet Shania Twain once said, “Let’s go, girls!”

It was such an amazing weekend. Thanks again for everything! ❤

What an amazing venue! Definitely sounds like you had an amazing time! Any chance you could add a list of the designers to the video description? This could help folks look them up on BGG. Thanks!

This is super cool. Congratulations on a great weekend. Keep being awesome, Pam!

This is so amazing! Paradise is the right word for it. Someone might need to drag me out of there kicking and screaming.. it has literally EVERYTHING! Not just for game design, but a pool table, arcades, a lake.. I'm ready to move in permanently. Lol We definitely need more women designers, so glad this event is a thing and hopefully continues. I love that game design (and tabletop gaming in general) is such an inclusive hobby. There's literally a place for everyone around the table :)

Wow...really cool! Glad you got to go!

Excellent video! An amazing opportunity for women game designers to get together- is this going to be an annual event?

What a great opportunity! And such a great video! I'm so glad it looked like a really energizing time for all the incredible designers involved! And a lovely time to relax after the chaos of GenCon! Looking forward to seeing a few of these names on the shelves in the years to come!

You radiate positivity
