    ALIEN FRENZY chat! From idea to Kickstarter and winning PAX

    We sat down with Jye and Baden Stone - the two brothers who designed, illustrated, and self-published Alien Frenzy from scratch. Alien Frenzy is a competitive card game for 2-6 players where you're building your crew and fending off an alien invasion. It's a perfect gateway game - easy to learn and plays fast and fun! We chat about how the idea started, the design process, running a Kickstarter, and winning the People's Choice Award at PAX Australia. A great listen if you love hearing the stories behind board games or you've ever thought about making your own.Check out the game at alienfrenzy.com, and if you happen to be at TableTopCon or Play Con in a few months time you can say hello to the guys in person!***********************************************************************We want to thank all of you for supporting us and being a part of the community.
