It wouldn’t be Oceania month without Matthew Dunstan, who is closing in on the title for the most guest appearances on the podcast!  In this episode, Jules and Joe chat about Matthew’s new YouTube channel, co-designing, and how he enjoys giving back to the board game design community.  We also hear about some upcoming games, the business of being a full-time board game designer, and which designer he’d like to co-design a game with!

 

Plenty of games have been hitting the table too. Jules is surprisingly taken with planning a Jazz Festival in Bebop, meanwhile, Joe and his friend Megs are newly married and not liking Conor’s taste in furnishings in Decorum.
