I constantly recommend your videos to new designers. I think you're the best RUclips resource for game designers.
For all board game designers out there, I made a little tool to speed up your prototype card updates process, check the short here: ruclips.net/video/puDW7E2t7ME/видео.html
Cheers!
Your videos are an incredible asset to the industry, Adam. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks Rory :)
I've said it many times before but this channel is a goldmine of knowledge for budding designers and is easily the best channel for BG design :) The amount of videos you have now is astounding, but it's also great that they cover such a wide variety of topics too. (and yes, the best one is still the 'how not to pitch' video!). Good luck with Zing-a-zam Adam!
Really nice to meet you at Spiel Adam. Looking forward to more of these videos
/the Swedes in the Mandoo games line 😊
Thanks! Good meeting you too 😄
Starting 2024 by pulling out all of my old game ideas and starting working through them, this was a much needed boost for me to get started and plan whats next, thanks for the video and info, gave me the spark to get creative again. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Glad it is helpful :)
This channel may be awesome or not, this is the first of your videos I watched…. But this video felt like it should have been titled “watch my other five hundred videos to learn everything you need to know about board game design.” Which considering the huge topic is understandable, but not the video I’m looking for… or what the actual title is.
Sorry this video didn’t answer all your questions.
I did state in the first 30 seconds of the video that the intent of it was to signpost you to whatever information you needed. So hopefully it didn’t waste too much of your time.
Still a bit sad that I wasn't able to meet you in Essen last week, but I really hope you got a great time and got some positive reactions for your prototypes. I already managed to gain some interest this year without even having a prototype. And I played Zing-a-Zam for 6 or 7 times with my niece - needless to say that we both love it.
I love those signpost videos because - even though I have seen everyone of the mentioned ones - I sometimes want to rewatch something and can't find it quick enough. Thanks for doing this!
Hi - yes, really sorry that we didn't manage to meet up. I do have a lot of interest in my new games, thanks :) Glad you made some good progress with your project too.
Really pleased you're enjoying Zing-a-Zam! How old is your niece? I would really appreciate a comment/rating on the BGG page (if you do that sort of thing - if not, no worries).
Yes, it's a bit of a repeat episode this week(!) but I want to make sure that newcomers to the channel find the older topics among all the newer videos. Hopefully useful!
@@AdaminWales My niece is 5 and it took her a bit to understand the rules but now she loves the game. It was a good thing that I took some extra copies from Essen so she has her own one now as well. I rated the game at BGG and liked it and logged my plays. I will write a comment as well when I find the time.
What an excellent resource this one video is! Thank you Adam. Your honesty and professionalism is highly valued.
Thanks for all of the videos, Adam! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the playtesting imposter syndrome video. I have a few very simple designs, so that video is particularly reassuring for me. I'll be doing my first unpub event soon, so I just rewatched it to give me some extra confidence!
Welcome back from Essen! I'm looking forward to your future videos. And thank you for making this video! I often refer other designers to your videos, so this recap and all-in-one "playlist" is helpful. Keep making amazing games and videos; you are a gem to the hobby and industry!
Much appreciated 🙂
Best board game design channel around
Wow, what a fantastic resource! I shall be sharing this with fellow designers going forward! Amazing body of work, Adam. 👏
Thanks Carl - much appreciated!
Congrats on the new game Adam!
Just the signposting video I was looking for! Congratulations on the new game!🎉
Amazing work, Adam!!!
Always love these videos.
top compilation, thank you very much
This channel rocks!
just a hand full of links LOL 😂
