Game Designer
The best game is the one that you think about when you should be thinking about something else. The one that you can't let go, because it has become more than a pastime. It's a fascination. It's a reality that you conjure into being by sitting at a table with your friends. Once you step into that magic circle, the turn of a card can decide the fate of someone you love. It can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It can be death, rebirth, anything at all. For the player, it's an entire world to explore.
The designer gets to play a different game. They get to create those players' reality. In a way, they get to play God.
Upcoming Games
The king and queen of the dark and light faerie courts are getting married, and you, the players, are the faerie nobility, and have a unique opportunity to win favor with the new regime. As the party descends into chaos, play the Ogres, Elves, Centaurs and Selkies against one another, encouraging pranks and strategic friendships so that you have friends in the right places to ensure your place atop the political hierarchy.

Starving Artists is a game of abstract thinking and shrewd resource management for 4-6 players that takes about 10 minutes per player. Manage a supply of unique magnetic pieces, using them to represent abstract titles and trading them in for new title cards if the ones you have aren't working. One player is the art critic, who must try to match each artwork with its title, avoiding decoys. Doing this successfully earns both the artist and the critic points. The player that communicated their vision and managed their resources best will be declared the winner!
