I unfortunately have a very low tolerance for upkeep/bookkeeping, especially if a game feels like it can be a video game instead. My designs are: - For Northwood: A Solo Trick Taking Game - Winner of the 2021 54-card contest, published by Side Room Games - The Everdeck: A "multi-deck" that can play many games. Uses combinatorial shenanigans to squeeze in many gaming systems into a very small space - Isaludo - A free pdf of 10 original solo games to be played with a standard deck of cards I also love the intersection of mechanics and flavor, and how one can complement the other. I retheme games I really like and release as free print and play: - After The Virus (Calvin and Hobbes) - Friday (Scott Pilgrim) - Regicide (Pokemon) - Space Hulk: Death Angel (Metal Slug)
