Get a glimpse into the world of a couple who are full-time board game inventors. Learn how they: 1) create simple mechanics with intriguing choices; 2) raise the stakes and get people invested in the outcome; and 3) find balance between player autonomy with luck in the overarching narrative of a game. Facade Games has sold over 80,000 copies of their games, earned more than $1 million in revenue, and have been featured on CNBC. Travis designs the game concepts, while Holly takes charge of the graphic design and overall presentation of the games.
