Talking about board games at Overit

posted Sep 1, 2015

This cold be fun/interesting: Overit in Albany is hosting a discussion event about creating and crowdfunding board games September 10. Blurbage (links added):

Gil Hova, founder of Formal Ferret Games, and Jeff Warrender, co-founder of Spielbany, will present on their process for developing games, and how to stay creative in the gaming industry. In addition, Gil will discuss running a successful crowdfunding campaign stemming from his experience raising $30,000 from over 1,000 backers for one of his games.

Guests will also have the opportunity to play Gil's latest game, called The Networks, following the presentation.

That game -- The Networks, in which you compete as a TV network exec to acquire shows, stars, and ad revenue -- starts a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter today, September 1 (as of this morning it hadn't started just yet).

"Games at Overit: The Creative Process of Building & Crowdfunding Boardgames" is September 10 from 5-8 pm. It's free -- and you can register to attend online.
