In July last year I was approached by an agency, who had a brand, who had a famous spokesperson, who likes chess. They wanted me to design a game with this spokesperson, a bit like chess but better, faster, kind of Chess 2.0. That's not quite what happened. This is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq_5...

www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r... They called Arboretum "fiddly", but I'm honored to be mentioned by Wirecutter alongside such awesome titles as Bohnanza, Dominion and Scout.

Why is it that so often the right move is to hide your true intentions?

I know everything that is going on right now is scary but Wisconsin proves that money is not the end-all be-all of everything in politics. Above all, we must stay calm, be strong, be true to ourselves and our principles, and support our neighbors and loved ones.

Opinions on "thinky" as a marketing term for Mischief? Does "thinky" sound like a positive thing for a game to be?

Is there a 2-player trick-taking game better than Fox in the Forest?

I spent all day working on my stupid card files for the stupid printer then I went to check it off of my stupid checklist and found out I was stupid and it wasn't there. So I added it. And checked it off.
