Board Game Design Day: Designing Great UX into Your Game Board and Pieces
Over the past couple of years, game UX expert Jason Schklar has been running a "Board Game" UX exercise with various groups of video game developers as a way of thinking about how "board and pieces" design influences the learnability of a board game.
