The One About Beer

Published: Sept. 26, 2013, 4 a.m.

b'In this episode of The State of Games, Chris, Darrell and TC are joined by Ben Rosset, designer of Mars Needs Mechanics and the upcoming Dice Hate Me Games release, Brew Crafters. The quartet talk about beer, the development process behind Brew Crafters, and how theme and mechanics can walk hand in hand for inspiring a good design. All this, plus tons of talk about VivaJava, Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small, Alien Uprising, Compounded, Club Zen, Global Mogul, and more Unpub news, including prototypes to expect at Escapist Expo in Durham - like a Compounded expansion and Chris's own Double Impact! It's a full episode, but it goes down smooth, with a hoppy finish. Join us!'
