A podcast for board game designers

Fun Problems is a fortnightly podcast about board game design, hosted by A.J. Brandon and Peter C. Hayward.

AJ has half a decade of board game retail experience, and has sold more games than most people have played.

Peter is a board game triple threat: a publisher, developer, and designer, and has ten years of design experience and wisdom to share.

Their two perspectives combine to offer insightful tips and tricks on game design, covering everything from how to get started on a design to deep insights into the fun problems that come with developing a hit board game.
