Last night, at the local IGDA meeting, I had the pleasure of doing a presentation on tabletop board games (in general), and how they relate to video games (in particular). It was a fun, lively bunch of folks armed with smart, insightful questions. I was a little nervous going in (hey, nobody likes public speaking), but warmed up pretty quickly, and had the advantage of following an enlightening and entertaining presentation by Martin Grider, creator of the board game / video game mash-up Go-Tetris.
…And the discussion now has me thinking about a new game idea: Brains in Tanks.
