#115 ft. Amabel Holland, Uncovering and Archiving Uncredited Designs

Have you ever found a dusty old Parker Brothers board game you've never heard of on the shelves at a thrift store, brought it home and had it captivate you with the fact they packed over 300 plastic miniatures inside of it? Then when you went online to boardgamegeek, you couldn't find any trace of who made this bizarre artifact? Well, Amabel is at the forefront of finding the answers to these kinds of experiences. So we sat down with her to find out more about what her process is like and what sorts of white whales are still out there waiting to be credited for their work.
