In his talk Boxleiter went over the initial design process, pitfalls and dead ends which were avoided in the iteration process, and learnings from the final marketing push on Kickstarter.
As part of that program, Mike Boxleiter (who’s worked on video games like Solipskier and Gasketball) took the stage to talk about his work co-designing Secret Hitler, a Kickstarted tabletop game with some interesting mechanics.
This year the Game Developers Conference hosted its first-ever Board Game Design Day, a full day of talks about useful learnings from the design and development of tabletop games.
It was a really interesting talk, one that you can now watch for free over on the official GDC YouTube channel!
