Jamey Stegmaier

So you were telling me about, you know, of course only telling me in advance because by the time people watched or listen, and by the way, welcome to Positively Board Gaming.

He's Jamey Stegmaier, I'm Mitchell Whitfield.

You're either watching us on the Stonemaier Games YouTube channel or on your podcast platform of choice.

We're so happy to have you.

I'm ...

And I love that you're doing that.

You're a good man, Jamey.

If I haven't told you that before, you're a good person.

And that's, that's why we spent three years of our life endlessly rebalancing, to the point where like I'm sure the second edition will have sweeping changes.

Um, Tapestry by Jamey Stegmaier has just player power asymmetry, like just different little maps that you put your buildings on and a power per player, maybe a complex power.

That's all the asymmetry.

But after that got released, he updated all the, all the sheets, and suddenly card... like some factions had to start with negative 80 points to be competitive.

All right, at number 27 in BGG's overall rankings is Scythe, designed by Jamey Stegmaier and published by Stonemaier Games.

This is a one to five player economic engine building game set in a 1920s era alternate history.

We just covered Scythe in episode 117.

I think, again, that's a little bit of nostalgia there.

Yeah, I would tend to agree with you, Chris.

I, I, you know, I thought it was only rated high because I think this is the game that put, you know, Jamey Stegmaier and his company on the map.

I think that, you know, this game, you know, I always remember this game.

And we have a special guest with us.

Uh, this is Jamey Stegmaier.

Would you like to introduce yourself, Jamey?

Yeah.

Obviously, things...

the landscape has changed a bit, but there's so many good fundamentals there that, that have helped me and Bite Wing to, to be very successful, so.

A- as I like to say, Jamey Stegmaier, the man that wrote the book on crowdfunding-

[laughs]

I wanted to workshop that segment.

Um, uh, obviously I'm stealing it from, uh, Jamey Stegmaier with My Favorite Mechanism, just calling it, uh, my new favorite game.

Well, thanks for-

But I thought it, it was worth, worth workshopping.
