Join me for a captivating interview with tabletop wargame designer (and previously fellow Youtuber) Alex Berry. We celebrate the release of the third edition of his game, 'High Treason', and delve into his unique approach to game design. Alex and I share a deep appreciation for Card Driven Wargames and the rich flavor text that enhances the gaming experience.
In this conversation, we explore how Alex selects such distinctive themes for his games, like 'The Trial of Louis Riel' and the election of 1824 with his game Corrupt Bargain, and his skill in intertwining history with game design. We also discuss the potential limitations of using games as a medium to convey historical narratives. This interview provides invaluable insights into the creative process and the challenges of representing history through board games.
