Board games = cardboard. It's in the name of the material itself! But...what about
An Age Contrived, a new Euro-style, action-programming strategy game designed by Chris Matthew of indie publisher Bellows Intent? It has magnetic bits, chunky
Azul-style tiles, and in the Founder's and Collector's Editions, the player boards are set into
solid metal frames. What? And you can shoot those tiles out with a spring/lever mechanism.
Whaaaat?We had to bring Chris on to ask how he balanced the component "wow" factor with manufacturing affordability -- and as a big gamer himself, Chris wanted to talk about how games have surprised and delighted us. We were delighted to chat with him, so give us a listen!
