#204: The Secret Life of Print and Play Games

In this episode, Jason talks with Nazareno Properzi, game designer and key member of Little Rocket Games, an independent board game publisher based in Italy. Nazareno shares how a chance meeting in a game shop turned into a catalog of more than 30 games, and why the Italian market plays by very different rules than the US. He breaks down Little Rocket Games' Kickstarter strategy, including their surprising bet on print and play campaigns, and the unlikely success story of One Card Dungeon, a solo dungeon crawler that keeps selling out five years after launch. Nazareno also shares blunt advice for designers pitching their games to publishers. If you are curious about the European board game market or crowdfunding strategy, this episode is for you.
