“I like looking at a game’s mechanics and wondering, ‘How can I break this?’ I like getting into the nitty gritty, especially on paper. I like knowing how everything works, which makes me a really big pain in Magic the Gathering.” Meet Goblin, an up & coming game designer! buff.ly/dFH2uhu

The trade mission began with our best business clothes for a trip to the US Embassy in Ginza. A panel of ambassadors presented Japanese consumer behavior and current economic impacts to the region, we shared our experience navigating the rules and regulations to sell games in Japan. buff.ly/3KfWifj
