Dustin sits down with Alex Wolf, a former ESL teacher in China turned tabletop game designer. Alex started Spielcraft games with co-founder Jared Bakewell in his spare time. They are set to release their first game publication, the Gladiator combat deck builder, For Glory. We learn of the similarities Dustin and Alex share as natives of Omaha, Nebraska as well as former overseas educators where Alex reveals the challenges of learning board games in other languages. The two talk about Alex’s game, For Glory, which is now live on Kickstarter and we get a glimpse into his creative process. Back it now and let us know, so we can share the love with Alex!
