In the most ambitiously in-depth State of Games to date, Monkey and Dice sit down with board game industry analyst Richard Bliss to talk about the Kickstarter explosion and whether there's a funding bubble that's about to burst. The trio also talk abundantly on crossing the void between consumer and publisher, the joys of flexibility & foibles of failing, marketing magic, making that emotional connection, and gaming trends among women and youth. All this, plus more of behind-the-scenes experiences with Carnival and the upcoming VivaJava: The Coffee Game.
