Designer Deep Dive #5: Damon Stone
The second of two Designer Deep Dives we recorded on the ground at GEN CON in August. In this episode, SMTT talks with designer Damon Stone. Damon tells us why Monopoly is the perfect game to rip-up and start again, and shares how he got started as a designer in the industry, eventually working on major titles such as Android: Netrunner and A Game of Thrones LCG. He also tells us about his latest project Ten to One, a strategic wargame about the Haitian Revolution, and discusses the capacity for games to educate their players by speaking against dominant historical narratives.Check out Damon’s body of work on Board Game Geek: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/48764/damon-stoneLearn more about Ten to One here: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/349773/ten-one
