Apples to Apples Game Designer Interview

Matt Kirby, designer for Apples to Apples talks with Joyce Johnson about Apples to Apples and his newly released game: Picaroon. Apples to Apples has sold well over 15 million copies and counting and is thought of as a must go to game for people just entering the world of table top games. In the interview Matt talks about how we came up with the idea for Apples to Apples and how in someways he is a prisoner of his own success. The success of the game, though, has made it possible for him to pursue things he loves to do and Matt feels more than blessed by Apples to Apples. On his new game release, Picaroon, Matt had this to say:

Picaroon was a mindful creation. Picaroon is a light, abstract, strategy board game with dice. It’s a 6 x 6 grid of 36 cards on a game board where players (pirates) are collecting certain treasures based on rolling the dice.
