The State of Games, Episode 53 – The One About The Germans

Ah, October. The best time of the year. Fall leaves, decorative gourds as far as the eye can see, cool temperatures… oh, and board games. Lots and lots of board games. Especially if you happen to be in Germany. Essen, to be exact. You see, that’s where the world’s largest board game convention is held each year – and it is awesome.

    I know it’s meant to be historical but I guessing New Bedford’s theme will incur some controversy.

    Howdy, where’s the best way to learn the details for the “deck of cards” design contests?
