New game publisher Bitewing Games has not one, not two, but THREE Reiner Knizia games to offer in their upcoming Kickstarter. How does a brand spanking new publisher sign the famous, prolific (famously prolific?) German designer Reiner Knizia? We invited Nick Murray and Kyle Spackman, cofounders of Bitewing Games, to chat with Christina about how it all went down! Plus, we have opinions about our favorite game genres and game length vs. enjoyment. Topics for this week: Christina (host): What are the challenges of being a first-time publisher? How did you sign Reiner Knizia?! Nick (guest): Which game genres do you never get tired of? Which ones are you over? Kyle (guest): Are game length and game satisfaction proportionally related? What are our faves on either side of the spectrum?
