#32 - Picking the Brain of Sam Macdonald from Garphill Games + Circadians: First Light

We’re back with Garphill Games—this time joined by Sam Macdonald.

Sam doesn’t spend much time looking in the rear-view mirror. Instead, he’s focused on the challenge of creating board games that keep players engaged, invested, and always eager for just one more round.

In a remarkably short time, Sam and the team at Garphill Games have helped cement the publisher’s reputation as one of the most respected names in modern board gaming. We talk about game design, player engagement, and the highly anticipated fourth and final entry in the South Tigris trilogy.

And to top it all off, we review Sams game, Circadians: First Light.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this conversation. If you do, help us spread the love of board gaming by sharing the episode with a friend!
