Minnov8 Gang 354 – How to Survive the Apocalypse

By

survive_mainPeople often joke about how we should be teaching our kids about the zombie and other potential apocalyptic events depicted in books, graphic novels, movies and TV. Thankfully there is an answer: Teach them by playing an incredibly fun board game that geeks and their families will love!

Our guest this week is Seppy Yoon, Chief Designer & Ogre at Fight In A Box who has made just such a game. Hear more from him about it, the nearly ended (and successful!) Kickstarter campaign, along with our usual tech story discussions on this week’s show.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and Phil Wilson.

This Week’s Guest

seppy-yoonSeppy Yoon, Chief Designer & Ogre – Fight In A Box (LinkedIn). Currently wrapping up a Kickstarter campaign for his board game “End of the Line”. Check out this post and get involved now…before it’s too late!

Seppy’s escape from corporate america was more grueling than Snake Plissken and New York. He has been writing games longer than is polite to ask. Additionally, meetings with him are strictly prison rules: “Don’t make eye contact unless you’re challenging him.” We try and avoid him entirely keeping him chained to the game forge where he can hammer away at the imaginary people in his head instead of us.

Quotes:

  • “I kill more monsters before 6 am than some people do all day.”
  • “Monsters don’t kill themselves.”
  • “I’m just happy to be here.”
