Since I am just a baby in such a wonderful industry, I bet you would like to know how I have contributed to the Board Game industry so far. Below is a list of accomplishments that I hope keep growing.
- My first foray into game design was making solo modes for some great games that did not have a solo mode included in the box. The first solo mode I created was for Power Grid Deluxe: Europe/North America . The second solo mode was for Eclipse. Both of these were created so I could learn/play the game when I could not get together with others.
- One of my major board game experiences so far was being involved in the play-testing of Tesla vs. Edison: Powering up expansion, which was headed up by JR Honeycutt (my name is in the rule book 😁).
- Recently I have had the absolute pleasure of being part of the Demo team for Asmodee Canada. This opportunity allowed me to demo unreleased games by many beloved publishers. This all happened at SHUX 2018 and SHUX 2019. This year I met Matt and Quinn from Shut up and Sit down (see pic below). Also had a quick conversation with designer Isaac Vega. Games I demoed in 2018 - Mesazooic (Jumbo Card Edition), Orbis and the River. Games demoed in 2019 - Keyforge: Worlds Collide.
- I recently became a supporter of the Board Game Design Lab podcast. The topics and interviews that Gabe consistently puts out has given me so much inspiration and direction. He deserves it!
- I know its not much, but I have backed five projects on Kickstarter. They are: Town Center, Scoville, Scoville Labs, Terraforming Mars: Turmoil and the Dice Hospital expansions)
I look forward to meeting many more people in the industry and hopefully one day people will be looking for meetings with me. Stay tuned to find out (although it may take a while).
