Tabletop
I love to design tabletop games that are simple to learn, evocative to play, and highly social. In addition to the dozens of games that I have designed or adapted for live events such as the Genius Northwest and The Gauntlet, I also design original games for commercial release. While I self-published my first game Skulldug! back in 2015, these days I am focused on signing my designs to other publishers. If you’re a publisher and you’d like to talk more about any of these designs, drop me a line!
