The Game Designers (Saturday Review)

We all love to play board games. We each have our favourite
genres, themes and mechanisms, and ultimately our favourite
games. Over time our favourites change of course, as new games
come out and we get a chance to play them. Yet, when we play a
board game, we don't usually think about how this game came into
being in the first place. Chances are we know the designer of the
game. In fact, we might have chosen the game because we like
other games by the same designer. Yet, very few will have any
inkling of the hard work the designer has put into taking a spark
of an idea and turning it into a working game. In the film The
Games Designers written and directed by Eric Rayl, Mike Selinker
phrases it really well: "Board game design is hard, like, I mean,
real hard."
