Wise Wizard Games Round-up with Rob Dougherty

DblDubz and Tuff sit down with Rob Dougherty, CEO of Wise Wizard Games, for a jam-packed conversation spanning the present and future of the Realms (and beyond). The journey begins in Hero Realms Digital, where Rob discusses the current state of the app and what’s next. From there, the crew dives into the paper side of Hero Realms, touching on production challenges, and the tough business decisions behind the ongoing delays and shifting timelines. The crew also dives deep into the universe of Star Realms, with an extended discussion on the Conquest campaign running through Gamefound, as well as the upcoming Star Trek Star Realms: Borg Invasion – an expansion featuring brand new cards, not strictly a re-skin like we saw with the first Star Trek set. Shifting gears to Draconis 8, we get new insights into its upcoming Steam release, which promises to bring a fresh wave of players into the fray. In between, Rob highlights Wise Wizard’s family-friendly line Wacky Wizard Games, and the company’s latest offerings in small box, high-strategy titles like Elemystic, Seeker Chronicles, and Sherlock Solitaire. This was a very candid and informative interview with Rob interjecting all sorts of great tidbits and anecdotes.
