The Going Analog Podcast hosts our first full-time board game illustrator, and it's KWANCHAI MORIYA. He even showed up to our house with beef jerky! (It's all downhill from here, folks.) The prolific and versatile illustrator of many of your favorite games (including Dinosaur Island, Capital Lux, Pret-a-Porter, In the Hall of the Mountain King) recently commemorated his 100th piece of board game art, so we had to celebrate with him on our show.
We talk hidden-gem board games and ALL THE THINGS we want Kwanchai to illustrate. (We can wish, right?)
Topics this week:
- Kwanchai Moriya (guest): What are some board games that you consider hidden gems? (12:42)
- Christina (host): What themes would we want Kwanchai to illustrate? (32:55)
- Shoe (producer): Which games would we like to give an art or graphic-design makeover to? (44:31)
