Some people say we are living in the “Golden Age of Board Games.”
Board games are a powerful form of storytelling, and including the principles of gamification in your story can help take your novel or creative nonfiction piece from good to great.
To talk about that, we’ve brought together Dan & Connie Kazmaier, board game designers from Calgary who manage Deep Aqua Games, and James Hannibal, the award-winning author of the Section 13 mysteries for kids and developer of the Lightraider games for families.

Holland and Amy brought their A game questions. The board games podcasts were surprisingly interesting and informative.
Kudos to all.
Thank you! We had a lot of fun with that one. Next week’s episode on including readers with disabilities certainly got lively! Hope you enjoy that one, too. I appreciate all your support, Burton.
