[Is It My Turn? Ep. 2] Ft. SzpiLAB from Japan (Snowp, Planepita, …)

Today, we’re welcoming Kazunori Hori and Eisuke Fujinawa from the Japanese board game studio SzpiLAB! Known for their simple action games with clever and surprising components, we dive into their game design philosophy, engineering approach, and unique design. We also play two of their titles, Snowp and Planepita, learn about their development journeys, and discuss the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for the Snowp Christmas mini-expansion!
