Podcast Episode 47: A Conversation With Elizabeth Hargrave

Who could have guessed that birds would be an exciting part of early 2019 among gamers? Elizabeth Hargrave might have been able to predict it, as her new game Wingspan, published by Stonemaier, is both mechanically interesting and lavished with a beautiful production. I sit down with her to talk about her design philosophy, what it’s like to see her first published design do so well, and, of course, birds. Because birds are great!
