Matt Leacock Talks to Google
Game designer Matt Leacock (Pandemic) has a second career – one might even say a first career – as a designer at Yahoo!, but on April 25th he gave a talk to his employer’s main rival, Google. The topic was “Cooperation and Engagement: What can board games teach us?” and the talk is now available on the GoogleTechTalks channel on YouTube. You can watch the 50-minute talk below:
Thanks to Dave Kohr for pointing this out!

Very strange, Lee. If I try to click through, I get the error message you mentioned; if I enter the URL directly in my browser, the page comes up fine. I’ll remove the embedded link, but if you want to visit the YouTube page to comment, the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdTVcFo2EQw Eric Posted by W.
