Janice recently wrote a guest post on BSoMT’s blog about her experiences of designing games, in particular for solo play.
“I started designing tabletop games a couple of years ago when I was on maternity leave with my eldest (now 2.5y). It was my attempt to have a ‘solo’ hobby. When starting out I wanted to design games that my hubby and I would enjoy but also that would have a wide appeal.
