We haven't played anything quite like The Arkham Asylum Files: Panic in Gotham City. This super premium, augmented-reality, multimedia experience is a pricey box at $149 for a one-time (maybe? -- listen to learn more) playthrough. Is it worth it?

To dig into how The Arkham Asylum Files is pushing the boundaries of tabletop gaming, we invited Animal Repair Shop and Infinite Rabbit Holes Senior VP of Interaction Design (and magician!) Michael Borys to discuss the epic design and production processes, the countless creative and budgetary challenges, and how "being the dot" influences everything he works on.

Timeline:

17:14 - Michael's game pick: Wiz-War.
22:30 - Christina and Shoe's topic: bringing augmented reality to tabletop.
40:35 - Michael's topic: being the "dot"!
