Ep. 36 - Tom Weiner of Medium Brow Games (Co-Designer of Farms Race)
In this week's episode, we sit down with Tom Weiner, co-designer of Farms Race and co-head of Medium Brow Games, to discuss his journey into tabletop game design. From its origins as a humorous parody of classic Eurogames to the deeply strategic experience hidden beneath its post-apocalyptic farm animal theme, Tom shares how Farms Race evolved into a game built around area control, negotiation, tactical combat, asymmetric powers, and unforgettable player interaction. Tom also discusses founding Medium Brow Games, collaborating with co-designer Daniel Dranove, lessons learned from publishing through Kickstarter, and how player feedback continues to shape the future of Farms Race . Finally, we get an exciting look at what's ahead with the upcoming Doomsday Clock expansion, the pirate-themed strategy game Plunder Blunder, and what's next for Medium Brow Games.
