Investigating Board Game Miniatures
There is maybe a reason no one’s done an exhaustive video on board game miniatures. It’s an incredibly specialist subject that requires insider knowledge of board game manufacturing. The only people who have that knowledge are the people who manufacture board games and the people who manufacture board games have a vested interest in the continuation of the ability to keep manufacturing board games.
It might surprise you then that for this video I sat down and talked to the people who manufacture board games (with the promise of anonymity) and found out that despite making board games with plastic miniatures, they were not actually fans of plastic miniatures.
This video then is a sort of reconciliation. An attempt to recognize that there is a joy and artistry with miniatures, but also many pitfalls. And also, a conversation about Iron Fist Alexander that’s way too long for it’s own good. But hey, wouldn’t be an NPI video without a massive tangent right at the beginning.
