In this episode, we chat with Hannah Shaffer, who designed Questlandia and 14 Days, and is generally delightful.

Talking points:

Terrible titles

Hot guys, and the making out thereof

Games that encourage empathy

Games that bring you down

Games that are accessible

Games that are Christmas

All this, and more!
