Why watch this film?
The board game niche (and we're not talking about simple things like 'Monopoly') is one that has become very complex and profitable in recent years, giving rise to successful titles like 'Catan' or 'Pandemic'. However, due to the good hours of leisure that we owe them, it is easy to forget that it is an industry, with designers who put a lot of time and effort into their creations, which sometimes entail the frustration of never reaching a final product or, in more amiable cases, end up transformed into something totally different from the original idea. 'The Game Designers' is a simple documentary that has few arguments to draw the attention of the uninitiated, but undoubtedly will be fascinating for those who have at least some curiosity and, above all, those who enjoy board games as a hobby.
