The first two episodes of our “Planet Money Makes A Board Game” series are out! In this bonus episode, Erika Beras and Kenny Malone each share 3 favorite things -- ideas they learned about or moments that happened -- that didn’t make it into the series. They discuss the surprising history of Twister, what game mechanics they think are outdated, a revealing moment at Gen Con (the largest tabletop gaming convention in the country), and more… Erika and Kenny also share the board games they grew up with and like to play at home! 

You can download and play the Planet Money Game prototype here, PlanetMoneyGame.com.
