My Design Vision<\/h3>\n

My vision is to create games that feel fresh, feel new, and feel intuitive.<\/strong> I want to design experiences that pull players in and leave a lasting impression. If players say, \u201cLet\u2019s play again,\u201d or \u201cThat was fun,\u201d then I\u2019ve done my job.<\/p>\n

To make that happen, I start with questions. What combinations of mechanics and themes have board games missed? What mechanics and themes have been overlooked or forgotten? Sometimes the answer is a forgotten mechanic. Other times, it\u2019s a twist on the familiar. I want every game I make to feel fresh, to offer a new experience, and to make players wonder why no one had done it that way before.<\/p>\n

My Design Manifesto<\/h3>\n

1. Start By Exploring Possibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every design begins with a question:<\/p>\n

What is possible?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

Inspired by the OK GO Ted Talk<\/a>, I wanted to come up with a fresh and enjoyable board game to play.
\nI search for mechanics that have been underused (Mancala<\/a>), misused (Roll-and-Move<\/a>), or forgotten (Auction: Dutch Priority<\/a>).
\nI search for themes that have neglected, underrepresented, or never tried.<\/p>\n

2. Small Changes, Forgotten Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

My design philosophy is simple.<\/p>\n
