None of us were a “real gamer”, so we started with the games we used to play in our childhood and adolescence (Monopoly, Clue, Risk, etc.). At that time the Internet was a novelty and through it we discovered a wonderful new world of games! So from the Hasbro “classics” we moved to Settlers of Catan and then we never stopped

He also talks about some of the unique things about co-designing games and his relationship with Bruno Faidutti, designer of Mascarade  and many other games. He also talks about how he goes about finding publishers for his games. You can checkout the whole interview here.
