Boardgame Babylon is back with a Q&A session featuring award-winning designer, Matt Leacock. You probably know him from his hit games Pandemic and Roll Through The Ages. His newest game, Gamewright's utterly gorgeous Forbidden Island, debuted at Orccon 2010 and was well-received. Listen in to hear him talk about his history in gaming, the development of his games, and he even politely listens to me complain about game branding (he's an incredibly nice guy - listen for him to tell me to 'be nice' when I joke about people getting low scores in Roll Through The Ages). ;) Here's a complete bio: Matt Leacock is a user experience designer and game designer. His games have received many awards including Family Game of the Year from Games Magazine for both Pandemic (2008) and Roll Through the Ages (2009). His newest game, Forbidden Island is due out from Gamewright this spring. When not designing games, Matt heads User Experience at Sococo where he's applying game design techniques to reinvent communications software. Prior to Sococo he was an interaction designer at Yahoo!, AOL, Netscape, and Apple. We had a lot of fun recording the show and I hope you will enjoy listening to it, too.
