Fun! This light-hearted piece was just what I needed on a Monday morning. I enjoyed hearing/learning about how board games are invented. This piece takes the listener to cafes in Amsterdam to conventions in Germany. The people interviewed in this piece are interesting and the visual descriptions of places where interviews take place very clear and good.
I had never given much thought to how board games came into being, and now I am motivated to learn the history of the ones I like to play the most.
A topic that might seem like a bit of a bore on the outside was presented well and was even intriguing. I learned a lot from listening to this piece. For example, designers of board games in Germany have their name on the game box. They are treated like an author would be and I found that to be very interesting. That makes the games more personal and I like the idea.
This piece would work well on a morning show or on a Sunday afternoon.
