Zev Shlasinger is a happy man. He seems to be always smiling and laughing. And why shouldn't he be. He has had quite a run in the boardgame industry. He has two games in the top 25 Top games on boardgamegeek.com. This includes Pandemic at #23 and Agricola which is currently rated as the #1 game by boardgamegeek.
Not bad for a guy who just wanted to bring back a card game that had gone out of print. I first was introduced to their games with Grave Robbers from Outer Space at ComicCon in 2003. I took a few minutes here at Spiel 09 in Essen Germany to sit down with Sev Shlasinger, President of Z-MAN games.
