Rio Grande Games, Chronicle Books, and Z-Man Games. The most recent release is Art Decko, a 2 to 4 player economic deck-building game of art collecting and museums, published by Rio Grande Games in 2021. When not designing and playing board games, he enjoys painting and streaming. His favorite artist is Van Gogh, and his all-time favorite TV shows are Band of Brothers and Modern Family. Feb 2022 First game ever designed ... hmmm, I remember that I used to make puzzle and mystery games, etc, back in elementary school and forced everyone to play. The First 'Monopoly' roll and move game designed was made in the middle school. I did it overnight and never get to play it (it was mostly monopoly ... ). The first hobby game played is Axis and Allies in 1986. The first self-publish game is 'Stock Tycoon' in 1997. It's a total disaster. Note, it is not listed on BGG. The first board game design class attended is at Otis College. The instructor for the board design class was Keith Meyers. He gave us a lot of important lessons and information on the industry. Thank you, Keith! The first two games licensed are Tien Zi Que and Mountain of Inferno. They were published by Z-Man Games in 2010. Thank you, Zev! In 2011, I taught board game design workshops in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. The first Kickstarter is Di Renjie in 2012. The experience was amazing! Thank you, backers!
