What I learned from selling millions of narrative games

Buy some of my games here: https://www.postmarkgames.com/ In my career I've been fortunate enough to design 3 separate narrative game series: the Adventure Games (co-designed with Phil Walker-Harding and published by Kosmos), Echoes, (co-designed with Dave Neale and published by Ravensburger) and Perspectives (co-designed with Dave Neale and published by Space Cowboys). I've learnt a lot about the design of narrative games, and in this video I want to share my experiences making and developing these games. In particular, a huge thanks to Dave and Phil for their collaboration! Adventure Games: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefa... Echoes: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefa...
