At Gen Con, we were very fortunate to spend some time with game publishers and designers. In the second of those conversations, we spoke with Mindtwister USA's National Marketing Director, Jesse Den Herder. Mindtwister is probably best known for its beautifully crafted, five-in-a-row, abstract game, Pentago. We had a great time talking with Jesse about some of Mindtwister's games and really enjoyed hearing his ideas about the possible demographic roots to the recent surge in the popularity of board games. The Mindtwister USA games that we discussed in this episode include: Fandooble Pentago LE Pentago CE (with travel case) Pentago (classic wooden design) Pentago multi player Download the episode: GBT-EPGEN14-2-MindTwister-USA.mp3 Subscribe to the podcast: via RSS Subscribe to the podcast: via iTunes Send us an Email: podcast@greatbigtable.com Follow us on Twitter: @greatbigtable Leave us a voicemail: (401) It is big or (401) 484-7244 This episode of the Great Big Table is released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives 3.0 license.

Daniel has an amazing blog with many interesting thoughts about gaming. Check it out. ***Great Big Table is a late-night conversation between two Midwestern geeks with dreams of world domination through board games. It's not a great plan, but it's our plan and we're sticking to it. Join as we plot to put a meeple in every pot- or at least on every table. We slipped the bonds of our robot masters, so the only opinions represented here are our own. We are however in league with Amazon, so a percentage of every purchase made through our links goes into our onshore accounts (thanks!). Some games have been provided by publishers for review while we picked up others for a buck or two at a thrift store or yard sale. Others are from our own collections or games we played with friends and strangers. You should be proud of yourself for reading all this small print- we are!
