BGB Volume 99 - Q&A with Antoine Bauza at Gateway 2012

Boardgame Babylon

Another Strategicon convention has gone and another fantastic Guest of Honor has been recorded for posterity. Antoine Bauza has hit big with the Kennerspiel Des Jahres-winning 7 Wonders but he was already well-known for other great games like Ghost Stories, Hanabi, Pony Express and many more. We were honored that he flew all the way from France to spend the weekend playing games with us. On this show, Antoine answers questions about his ludography, his history in games and he shares some fun stories about design and development. I hope you enjoy it.

Antoine even brought us a copy of the Essen 2012 exclusive Leader "Esteban". And why not have a little contest here - those of you going to Essen will surely get plenty of opportunity to get a copy of Esteban. But for those that won't make it, I'm going to give away two copies to some lucky listeners. I'll pay postage but you need to listen to the show to win.

To enter, answer this question: What three games does Antoine say define his career up to this point? You might guess one or two but you'll need all three. If you listen and have the answer, send it in my e-mail address for the podcast: boardgamebabylon AT GEEMAIL DOT COM. I'll pick two winners on October 5th and, with any luck, you'll have a copy of Esteban before the folks at Essen do.

Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon. We love your feedback so thanks for sending it!
