About This Episode
James Hudson did not always start out as a board game creator. World of Warcraft dominated his life for almost 9 years until a friend convinced him to come to a board game night and he was exposed to Power Grid. Since that night James has been involved with collaboration efforts with Druid City Games, now a part of Skybound Entertainment, to publish amazing games that help fuel that organic passion of playing games with other people around the same table. Drew and Chris have a conversation with James about the seasons of his faith, the disillusionment with the American church culture, and the sacred space that the board game scene can provide for those looking to have relationships across multiple divides.
