Why it took me 10 YEARS to design this card game

Heads up! The name of this game has changed to Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood due to trademark issues! But we use the name Wormwood throughout the video.

What does it take for a single person to design a game with over 300 unique cards, a complex and developed world, and 10 perfectly balanced factions? This video will give you an idea!

Hi! Cassandra, the project manager of Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood here! Damon loves talking about game design, and I thought his approach and his philosophy would be of interest to the people who already love Sovereign, as well as to anyone excited about game design in general. So, I asked him to talk about his process on video, entirely unplanned. If you have questions please put them in the comments!
