Boardgame Babylon is proud to bring you another great Q&A session with a game industry icon. Recorded at Gamex 2007 over the Memorial Day weekend, this Question and Answer session features the convention's Special Guest, Rio Grande Games founder Jay Tummelson.  On the show, you'll hear Jay talk about how he got into this crazy business, his experience with Mayfair Games and bringing Settlers of Catan to the States, many fun stories about acquiring the English licenses to various games and, of course, a huge list of upcoming games - some of which are being revealed here for the first time. Start your next shopping list for the game store now...

NEXT UP: The Gamex 2007 Wrap-Up Show. My friend and frequent Boardgame Babylon contributor Matt Grimaldi will join me to chat about our experiences at the convention and the many games we played including Wikinger (Vikings), Caylus Magna Carta, Notre Dame, Guatemala Cafe, If Wishes Were Fishes and many more.

Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon.
