Any more in thepipeline

I imagine it was very memorable moment, very envious! π π π
Not jealous in any way at all π

Of course not… π
Great interview, thanks @brennon. You used your time brilliantly and great to hear such sage words on how to design and operate successfully in the industry. More please
Thank you, much appreciated – yeah it’s great to hear from one of the big folks in the board game world right now!
Thank you for this. Great interview Ben π
A great video Brennon good to see the maker’s side of gaming.

Fantastic interview, I kind of clicked on this without reading and here I sit painting my clan crow for blood rage LOL .. Great work BoW and Ben .. keep it up π
