How does his video game experience impact the user experience in board games he designs and plays. Later we dive into High Heavens. What inspired Ryan to build the game, how does it play, and what to Craig and Russ think of it? And don't miss the exciting results of our Stronghold Games "Space Cadets: Away Missions" contest.
