Harvest Phase
Harvest Phase is a podcast about modern board games. Hosted by David and Marissa, we have off the cuff, one take discussions about the games we are playing, contemporary classics, and interesting game mechanisms, before focusing on a featured theme or game. Stick around after the game discussion for the patented Off Brand segment, where we dive into other mediums, hobbies, interests or things that bring us joy.

Episode 7
We have friend and game designer Brian Lewis on to discuss some of his favorite games, inspiration as a game designer, how we all met, and some the origins of Dinosaur Island. During the second half, we discuss the influences on Dinosaur Island: Rawr ‘N Write. We reference Fleet: The Dice Game, Uwe Rosenberg (Surprise!) the awesome feedback and play testing during Gen Con 2019, and how a piece of graph paper suddenly turned into a game. I started this episode wanting to ask the hard question, had Brian ever had anyone in his life call him “Bry” only to forget while we were actually discussing games. However, I asked after recording and the answer was a resounding, “no”.
