#242 Molly Johnson Talks Point Salad

Designing Thematic Games Series

Molly Johnson of Flatout Games joins Dirk and David to talk about designing light thematic games. Molly goes over Point Salad, published by AEG, and how the name and game came together. Later, she discusses some other games she’s been involved with (including Public Market, Calico, Cascadia, and Dollars to Donuts) and how theme helped complete or even spark these puzzle-y games. As part of the discussion on Calico and Cascadia, Molly explains how the collaborative publishing end of Flatout Games CoLab works.
