Interview with L'oaf designer: Bart de Jong

Description provided by The Hungry Meeple on YouTube:

🎙️ The Hungry Meeple – Interview with Bart de Jong | L’Oaf (and a pinch of Bable!) In this episode of The Hungry Meeple, Ramon sits down with game designer Bart de Jong, the creative mind behind the hilarious bakery game L’Oaf — where bakers try to get paid while doing as little work as possible! We talk about the humor and social tension that make L’Oaf such a hit, the balance between cooperation and competition, and how Bart went from designing the brain-burning Bable to crafting a game about strategic laziness. We also chat about the art direction, the role of humor in design, and the fine line between working hard… and hardly working. 🍞 Topics Covered: * Origins and inspiration behind *L’Oaf (https://wulfhorngames.com/loaf/) * How to make “doing less work” fun * The connection between *Bable* and *L’Oaf * Bart’s approach to humor and player psychology 🎧 Listen to the full podcast here: 👉 [The Hungry Meeple on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/6iY7JuQNhiuDTCV0RnnBhd?si=Z_sIm58-TBG6J6C5x5ax6w) 📸 Follow us on Instagram: 👉 [@thehungrymeeple](https://www.instagram.com/thehungrymeeple) ✨ About The Hungry Meeple We explore the connections between tabletop games, food, and friends — one game and one drink at a time.
