Going Analog

Where video game industry veterans introduce great board games to video gamers

Podcast #169: Board games bringing people together (guest: Grandpa Beck)

Our guest this week is crazy enough (in our eyes) to include his personal phone number in every game he sells. Brent Beck (aka "Grandpa Beck" of Grandpa Beck's Games) wants no barriers when it comes to learning his games, so he includes his digits in every copy in case you want to contact him directly for rules clarificationsl...or whatever.

That's why his chosen topic -- bringing people together through gameplay -- makes so much sense. Brent wants nothing more but to draw people to him and each other to enjoy the hobby he loves so much.

Listen/watch as we discuss his work and play philosophies, how many calls and texts from customers he gets per day, and more.
