Description
🎙️New Episode Alert: From Mount Olympus to the Game Table — Reimagining Greek Myths Through Play!
This week on the XReality Podcast, I had the absolute joy of chatting with Lani Bertino, a creative powerhouse with 23 years at Microsoft and now the founder of God of Games.
Together, we dove into:
🃏 Her beautifully crafted Greek mythology-inspired card game, where Athena meets Hades in epic, educational showdowns
🎓 The power of tabletop games in education, using strategy, storytelling, and myth to bring history alive
🎬 Her dream of adapting The Odyssey into a game format (just in time for the upcoming film!)
📚 Our shared struggle with traditional education systems (spoiler: we’re not fans of quizzes)
✨ Whether you’re an educator, game designer, or myth-lover—this one’s for you.
