Most recently, I co-designed Mass Transit for Calliope Games, as well as the Back to the Future: Dice Through Time cooperative dice game and Disney Space Mountain Game: All Systems Go from Ravensburger and helped design the decks for the Cobble & Fog and Battle of Legends Volume 2 sets for Restoration Games' Unmatched series. My design partners and I also made Flash Point: Legacy of Flame for Indie Boards & Cards. I love all kinds of games, as long as they can provide a chance to sit at the table with others and have a great time. After all, isn't that what gaming is all about?
