67. League of the Lexicon w/ Joshua Blackburn

Emily and Kyle talk to Joshua Blackburn, founder of Two Brothers Games and creator of the quiz game about words and language League of the Lexicon. Listen along as Joshua shares with them the intricacies of what it took to put together one of the most successful word games in Kickstarter history. From the many collaborators, including a previous guest on this show, to the ornate design, to why simplicity is best in a word game that covers it all. Kyle and Emily are then joined by Seth as Joshua puts the three hosts to task in a high stakes play-through of the game where only one can reign supreme. Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
