Mentioned in Dispatches Season 12 Ep 3 ~ Hollandspiele & Amabel Holland

23 February 2024 ~ Amabel is back!  One of our favorite designers comes back to Mentioned in Dispatches to talk about what’s going with Hollandspiele and tell a few tales of designing off-the-wall games. You can always catch past episodes on the “podcast” tab of our site. So chill & enjoy as she gives us the low-down on Hollandspiele’s best-sellers, what’s coming soon (Comet, Ides of March, Striking Flint, and more), and what she’s enjoyed working on. Custom dragon meeples?  Game reviews as literature?  A game with no rulebook?  Small-box games that are even more experimental?!  Yep, we covered that too!  And stay tuned ’til the end when Amabel starts pestering Brant with some questions of her own. Oh, and of course we talk a bunch about the New Yorker article where Amabel was the star of a long read about modern boardgaming and game design. We love your feedback, over on the iTunes page for our podcast or on Spotify, or even Amazon or Castro, drop us a rating and let us know what you think.  Thanks! Thank you for visiting The Armchair Dragoons and mounting up with the Regiment of Strategy Gaming.

(We have an Instagram page and it’s really just a placeholder & redirect to our articles.)
