Alessio Cavatore – “There Is No Such Thing as ‘Too Simple’ a Game”

There are few names as respected and influential in this hobby as Alessio Cavatore. Known for his work on iconic games like Warhammer 40k, Bolt Action, and Kings of War, Cavatore has left an indelible mark on the hobby. However, what sets him apart isn’t just the games he’s worked on, but his philosophy that rulesets can be smaller and simpler, and that big, heavy rulebooks don’t necessarily make for better games.

Just like our episodes with fellow industry legends Gav Thorpe, Andy Chambers, and Tuomas Pirinen, Alessio will be asking the same lineup of recurring questions. These throw up some interesting angles, including:

  • The fact that he doesn’t paint miniatures
  • His surprise at GW blowing up The Old World
  • His new-found appreciation for K-Pop
  • What’s the latest with Alessio’s game design company River Horse
