#23 - Justin Jacobson: Tales to Restore

Intertextual Cardboard Experience

Justin Jacobson, owner and president of Restoration Games, joins the show to talk about what drives the company, especially as it's doing something quite different in the hobby board game space. In a world of “digital” remakes, remasters, and re-imaginings of all sorts of different texts, there really aren’t many analogous examples in the analog space. Hearing a lot of the story of Restoration Games, having a lengthy chat about one of my favorite game systems (I say one of, but it’s probably number one), and everything in-between makes this a very special episode.
