Walter Scott: Magister

Here’s a remotely recorded episode from July 2020 (!), where we’re joined in snowmageddon by Walter Scott. He brings a wide variety of games from story telling to quiet contemplation, and along the way we talk about how he grew up in Traverse City, went from Medieval French poetry to ancient Roman exposition to English literature, the impressions a good teacher can make and how games fit into the relationship building we all need right now.

Listen to the episode with Walter Scott here.

Here are the games we talked about:

  • Once Upon a Time, 1993, designed by Richard Lambert, Andrew Rilstone, and James Wallis, current 3rd edition published by Atlas Games.
  • Bohnanza, 1997, designed by Uwe Rosenburg and currently published in the US by Rio Grande Games.
  • Castles of Burgundy, 2011, designed by Stefan Feld and published in the US by alea/Ravensburger.
  • Chess
