How we got to designing together, basically Sam had already done Architects of the West Kingdom and knew I was working on some games in my spare time. So a lot of history before Chaos Order, haha. We also were leaders at our Church’s youth group together, flatmates, colleagues, and each other’s best man. Zach: We met at NZ Central Eastercamp 2009, became great friends, and with our friend group did a LOT of video gaming (especially Age of Empires 2 & League of Legends). Always excited to hear about the “first date” between designers! JB: How did the two of you meet? I know that Circadians: First Light was designed by Sam, and Circadians: Chaos Order credits the two of you as co-designers. Tabletop Simulator has been amazing for the development process of our games, and my regular game night has been largely unaffected. Shem and I had planned to go to Gen Con in 2020 to coincide with the release of Viscounts of the West Kingdom, but we all know what happened that year! Apart from that, I really can’t complain. It’s nice to meet fellow gamers from all over the world and we haven’t been able to do that in the past few years. Sam: I’m personally missing conventions a lot. Zach: Well Sam will have to answer that one, because I’ve been living in Italy for the last 7 years! Same question for Italy… let’s just say our The King’s Dilemma campaign was interrupted many times by lockdowns. First, how’s life in New Zealand right now as a gamer? I know lockdown was something else there for a while. JB: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with our team. The conversation below took place over e-mail and has been edited for clarity. Like many players, I’m always excited to learn more about a game’s journey from concept to final production I am especially intrigued about Chaos Order because it is such a unique game in the Garphill catalog. Now that we have shared our thoughts on Circadians: Chaos Order (2022, Garphill Games), I wanted to have a chat with the game’s designers. Sam and Zach, the game’s designers, have answers! Justin has questions about Garphill Games’ newest release, Circadians: Chaos Order.
