The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. James here, the creator of Plague Inc. and Rebel Inc.. Today I wanted to share some data from the first few years of selling Plague Inc: The Board Game in case it helps future designers inform their decisions (especially if you are considering adapting a digital game into a physical tabletop product).

We keep plaguing developers to do something different. Gaming, we tell them, needs different voices and different stories.  Well, one plague begets another. A Plague Tale: Innocence is exactly the kind of title gaming used to produce in the Playstation 2 era, an offbeat story that borrows elements from popular big budget games to tell a different story.  In this case, the setting is France, during theBlack Death, and the main characters are an orphan, Amica, and her younger brother, Hugo. The developers, Focus Home Entertainment, say they want a story in which Amica has to grow and adapt in a time of fierce hardship, while taking care of her brother and guiding him to safety.  These themes are heavily evident in the gameplay videos that Focus Home have released, showing Amica sneaking through the streets of a filthy, disease-ridden France, desperately hoping she won’t be caught by the prowling guards or, worse, the rats who infest the shadows. In A P...

A document has been uncovered in the National Archives which may have solved one of history’s mysteries – how did the ‘White Queen’ Elizabeth Woodville, wife of Edward IV die. Her marriage, to Edward IV, was a cause célèbre of the day, thanks to Elizabeth’s great beauty and lack of great estates. Edward was the first king of England since the Norman Conquest to marry one of his subjects, and Elizabeth was the first such consort to be crowned queen. When Elizabeth died in June 1492, no cause of death was recorded and no contemporary accounts are known. However, evidence in a letter from the Venetian ambassador in London some nineteen years later, that has only now been studied in depth, gives an insight into how the White Queen died and hints at a hypochondriac young monarch: Henry VIII. The letter, dated July 1511, states that ‘the Queen-Widow, mother of King Edward, has died of plague, and the King is disturbed.’ Image scan by the National Archives. Euan Roger, Records Spe...
