In today's business podcast, we will talk with Yehuda Berlinger of JerGames.blogspot.com, and we will discuss the business of board games, and more importantly, 7 Steps to Creating Quality.

Now, I have to be honest - I didn't really know that anyone even played board games any more. But Yehuda showed me that there are tens of thousands of people that visit one of the biggest board game sites on the net - BoardGameGeek.com - and these are very dedicated people. I erroneously thought there was only money in the video and digital game business. BOY, was I WRONG!

There are many more games than Monopoly and Scrabble, believe it or not.

New games are developed around the world every year, and become very popular. Yehuda talks about the many different things that make a board game popular. He shares several different ones that you may be interested in, and why.

Game Podcasts, anyone?

Board Game Podcasts include The Dice Tower by 2 Christian missionaries in Korea, and Boardgames to Go by Mark Jackson. Board Games with Scott is a video podcast that demonstrates how to play different games.

Creativity and Quality, anyone?

Now we get into a detailed discussion about how we can increase our creativity, and therefore increase the quality of our thoughts, inventions and businesses. Yehuda has allowed me to post his fantastic 7-step creativity article for everyone to review. His thoughts cross all industries, and can help everyone sharpen their business skills.

FYI:

Per Yehuda, these are some corrections he would like to make:

1) Board Games to Go podcast is by Mark Johnson, not Mark Jackson. The latter is also a great guy with a board game blog.

2) BGG lists 1600 games published in 2005. Undoubtedly, at least twice as many were published, since BGG only lists it if someone submits it.

3) Another great site is boardgamenews.com.
