Whether they are exploring political revolution, biological evolution, winemaking or early American history, each member of our esteemed panel shares a deep and abiding passion for history. And this love has a direct impact on their games.

Martin Wallace (Age of Steam, Brass, London)

Vital Lacerda (Vinhos, CO2, Kanban, The Gallerist)
