We interview Dominic Crapuchettes, board game designer and CEO of North Star Games. While many of us are familiar with his company’s popular “Wits and Wagers” and “Say Anything” games, North Star Games’ latest board game hit, “Evolution: Climate” is on Kickstarter until March 23rd. The game has already raised well over one hundred and seventy thousand dollars so get it while it’s hot!
Before starting a board game company that’s large enough to support a payroll for roughly seventeen people, Dominic captained an Alaskan fishing boat for twelve seasons. After experiencing three life or death events, Dominic decided to pursue his dream of publishing board games. Dominic studied games like Trivial Pursuit while developing the mega hit, “Wits and Wagers,” and believes in relentless play testing (roughly a thousand well documented tests). Dominic is an incredibly interesting guy, but don’t take our word for it. Listen and prepare to not be disappointed.
