Podcast Episode Description:
In this episode of the Mindful Games Lab podcast, Clay visits with sisters Alice and Jessica from Fambam Games to explore how board games create connection, spark laughter, and bring people together across generations.
The conversation dives into the origins of hit party games like Not So Neighborly, the role of chaos and emotion in tabletop game design, and how family game nights shaped Fambam Games’ mission to create easy-to-learn games that anyone can enjoy. Alice and Jessica also share behind-the-scenes stories about designing their upcoming card game Too Much On Your Plate — a fast-paced buffet-inspired game about strategy, sabotage, and embracing the chaos of life.
Together, they discuss:
Designing family-friendly board games
How games foster friendship and social connection
Creating tabletop games for casual and experienced players
The balance between strategy and accessibility
Why emotions matter in game design
Collaborating creatively as sisters
The mindful side of modern board gaming
