Like many home ed families we're huge boardgames fans and as we start to think about skills and subjects for future success we reached out to a number of boardgames designers and producers with some questions on the topic. In this episode we're discussing the thoughtful and insightful answers we got from a range of fab companies - questions around the skills that make a good games designer, the kinds of subjects they studied, what games inspired them, what games they're proud of and why are game boards often square or rectangular!</p><p>Huge thanks to the contributions we received from <a href="https://gamelygames.com/" target="_blank">Gamely</a>, <a href="https://www.drandagames.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dranda Games</a>, <a href="https://professorpuzzle.com/" target="_blank">Professor Puzzle</a>, <a href="https://helvetiq.com/us/" target="_blank">Helvetiq</a>, <a href="https://catchupgames.com/" target="_blank">Catch Up Games</a>, <a href="https://buttonshygames.com/" target="_blank">Button Shy</a> and <a href="https://offthepagegames.com/" target="_blank">Off the Page Games</a>.
