Happy 4th July to everyone in the United States of America! So far I’m celebrating with podcast editing but I’m about to go catch the end of the Cubs game at a friend’s patio so I’ll be celebrating properly there in Murican fashion with baseball!
I’m very excited about this episode, I had a fun and interesting conversation with my friends Alfie Dennen and Allix Harrison d’Arcy to talk about the board game they designed, currently being funded on Kickstarter, Evil Corp.
Evil Corp is a game in which players incarnate billionaire tech CEOs battling to make money and ‘save the world’ – whatever the cost. I’ve been following as they’ve been working on this for the past 2 years and excited to see their project come to life! The game was funded in 6 only days on Kickstarter and they are going through stretch goals. I believe you have about 9 days to back the Kickstarter!
