Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured Kobold Guide to Board Game Design in a single sitting, drawn in by Ray Greenley's engaging narration and Richard Garfield's infectious passion for game design. The audiobook is remarkably well-produced, with Greenley's clear and expressive voice bringing the author's ideas to life. One of the standout aspects is Garfield's willingness to share his own experiences, both successes and failures, providing valuable lessons for listeners. If I have any criticisms, it's that some sections feel a bit too focused on Garfield's own design philosophy, and a few of the examples could be more thoroughly explained. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent audiobook that I highly recommend to anyone interested in game design.
