Producing Fun is a podcast about making tabletop games from a product perspective. Nick Bentley has been working in the industry for years. But recently, he took up a new role with Underdog Games: a game publisher smashing up conventional wisdom and selling 100,000s games in the process. This week we have the deepest conversation I’ve had before or heard before about *why* people buy one game rather than another. This is an absolute must-listen for aspiring game creators.

Stonesword Games’ latest title - The feudal Japan themed Senjutsu - hit Kickstarter with a bang last year, raising around one million pounds. This week, I talk to the company’s two founders - James Faulkner and Paul Allen - about how they achieved this success, from beyond-diligent historical research, endless testing and focusing on the power of good advertising over the world of BGG and content creators.

I'm delighted to announce that Naylor Games has acquired another UK game publisher: East Street Games. East Street Games' two published titles - Robot Royale and Mobsitters - will become part of our wider catalogue. The brand itself will become an imprint of Naylor Games.

Our company's ambitious, flagship titles with high production values, will still carry the Naylor Games mark alone. I've always thought East Street Games' products are great (indeed when you play Robot Royale, you may notice a certain robot called the Terminaylor present in the game...). They...
