If you just can't get enough of everyone's favorite President, Abraham Lincoln, these days, check out Bellwether Games interview with designer, Jason Tagmire, designer of the unique side-scrolling deck-building card game, Pixel Lincoln. In the interview, Tagmire reveals the challenges and rewards of using Kickstarter to fund a board game, what it’s like to work with Game Salute, and why a game designer needs to be a jack of all trades.
"[Game Designers] need to be super creative, logical and in most cases, mathematic. Then they need to be an artist and graphic designer. With prototyping there is a big hands-on stage where any carpentry or assembly skills come into play. And then it's time to market your game, so you need to be a writer, blogger, editor, proofreader, and promoter. And if you are pitching your game to publishers, you need to be a salesman. If you go to conventions, you need to be a good teacher and speaker. It's a lot to take on." – Jason Tagmire
