Podcast | Gamers On The Go #47 | Pass The Buck

Chase met Happy Badger Studio’s Carol Mertz at the St. Louis-based game festival PixelPop last month (a fact that is definitely not mentioned on this episode a few hundred times), and played her new card game, Pass The Buck: A Game of Corporate Responsibility Management. It was so fun, we brought her on to tell you about it herself.

We talk about the game’s passive aggressive Facebook post origins, what it takes to run a Kickstarter campaign and the difficulties of people not reading the instructions.
