#261 Jesse Howard Talks Hype Tag


Designing Thematic Games Series

Jesse Howard, one of the first guests on the Round Table podcast, returns after several years to chat with Dirk and David. He talks about the long journey of his game Hype Tag, originally called Ploy in his first appearance on the show. Jesse discusses his design process, which generally starts with a system or structure that he wants to mimic mechanically. But he also shares how finding the right theme for Hype Tag (after many years and many failed themes) helped him finally finish off the design and get the game ready for Kickstarter.
