Sometimes you look at everything you&#8217;ve doodled for the last 3 months and realize that you&#8217;ve designed 10 games about birds. You decide to roll with it and create a 12-month Bird Anthology, but your brain suddenly refuses to think about birds, and will only think about unicorns. Or you sit down to refine your latest abstract strategy game, and end up with a first draft of a trick-taking game. Our designer guests talk about how they adjust (or cope) when their design-brain refuses to cooperate with the practicalities of making and selling games.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crowdfunding with Chip Theory Games, Weird Giraffe Games, Good Games Publishing, &amp; DeadAlive Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crowdfunding with Chip Theory Games, Weird Giraffe Games, Good Games Publishing, &amp; DeadAlive Games\" width=\"864\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t4pKikEvMDA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winter Nonepub, 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Publisher Lessons Learned During a Pandemic <ul><li>Featuring Carla Kopp and Omari Akil <\/li><li>Publishing means wearing a lot of different hats and requires a ton of different skills, but what about publishing board games during a pandemic?
