What does it take to create a board game from scratch? Mr. Dawson explained, "Every game can be reduced down to its simple abstract elements." (i.e. rolling a dice, moving a piece one block at a time, etc.) The theme of the game is what makes it entertaining to play, not the actual basics behind it. Besides the typical glue, marker, dice, hard-stock paper, cards, game pieces, and spinners - it takes creativity, innovation, problem-solving and patience to invent a well-designed board game.
The professionals working with this group are Sam Liberty and Kevin Spak from Spoiled Flush Games. These board game designers have a few published games either on the market or coming soon, such as Foresooth, Clusterfight (pre-order), Gladiators (coming soon), Cosmic Pizza (coming soon).
Anh, Frank, and Gavi have crafted a 2-player game which also has no title yet. It is a typical war-type game requiring one player to out maneuver another with better use of resources and plans of attacks.
