Recently we reviewed 12 Realms in the Boardgame Review room and somehow we
managed to dislike it.



A combination of expectations not being met, mechanics we didn’t like, length
of time we didn’t expect… It didn’t sit down well with us.



And yet a lot of people love it, so we thought we might have got it wrong
somehow.



That and we really like Mage Company. We like Wrong Chemistry and we like the
owners. They are good guys.



So we couldn’t just give the game a bad review and not ask what was going and
what did the originators of the game made of our review. Rather than doing it
for our own benefit, we invited Alexander to come to the podcast and have an
interview to discuss the reasons why we didn’t like the game. And he agreed!



Hope you enjoy this interview, and I will say from the offset that Alexander
was absolutely fantastic. Can’t thank him enough!
