Jay Dragon - The Magpie's Cube

from Recross the Paths · host Kade Goforth

This week, Jay Dragon joins me to talk about game design through the lens of The Magpie's Cube, a whimsical sticker cube that gives players license to create. Jay is the Lead Game Designer at Steve Jackson Games and the Editorial Director at Possum Creek Games. We discuss the power and potential of stickers, the joy of unraveling Magic's grammar, outsmarting games (and being okay with being outsmarted), and much more.Support Jay on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/possumcreekPossum Creek Games: https://possumcreekgames.com/Jay's delightful article on The Magpie's Cube: https://possumcreek.medium.com/the-magpies-cube-54eac20f36fdJay on CubeCobra: https://cubecobra.com/user/view/5ee002664724960f538f6a5fJay on bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/jdragsky.bsky.socialEmail the show at [email protected]
