You always ask Terrific questions in these interviews, and this one with Kai Jensen is no exception...only made better since it is Kai Jensen! This interview was a treat of an eye-opener on the production processes. I feel enriched with new appreciation for that side of board gaming. The future (of GMT) certainly does look bright!

Such great interview again, Kai sounds so thorough and diligent. Fascinating to hear about all her work that goes on behind the screens. GMT made so much steps forward these last 10 years in terms of production quality, components and art.

i love these inside scoops into the behind the scenes for these companies. Kai appears to be providing a ton of value and i can’t wait to see all these changes in action

[@BeyondSolitaire]

Agree! Honestly I feel like our games are in good hands because she is so detail oriented. lol

[@billsimoni]

Kai is a great add to the GMT team. Having someone digging into efficiencies in the production and shipping process will help make them sustainable for the next generation. Plenty of improvement opportunities revealed over the last 5 years.

I love Kai Jensen! Chief of Awesomeness ... what a great title! Such a great interview! King's Critters is quite hard to find these days. Excelsior!

[@BeyondSolitaire]

She definitely lives up to the title. :D
