Episode 22 – Player Numbers and Pumpkin Bomb Playtesting

Dicing With Design: Role Playing, Wargaming, Card games & Board Game Design

In this episode we aimed to talk about how the number of players in games affected games design. Our initial aim was to talk about solo games, including Joe’s Swords of the Skulltakers solo RPG. To do that justice, though, we’ve left solo games for a later episode.
