Board game designer and publisher. 1/3 of the Motor City Gameworks team that has designed Three Sisters, Motor City, French Quarter, River Valley Glassworks, Beyond the Horizon, and more. Roll Tide Roll!
Looking forward to seeing folks at Gen Con soon. Can’t wait to catch up with friends, pitch some games, and enjoy that most perfect cuisine of the great state of Indiana: the pork tenderloin sandwich.

So the MCG team has not one but TWO big-box euros in development. Super excited about what we have coming.

This was my favorite sign from the local No Kings protest near me. Her name was Anna and she got married just three hours after the protest. But she wouldn’t miss it for anything.

I like this newest flag.

I'm attending a No Kings's protest in Troy, Michigan on June 14. If you are in the area, come join me. If you are not in the area, find one near you. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Ezra & Nehemiah from @garphillgames.bsky.social is a fantastic heavy euro. Lots to take in, but so many great choices. Loved it!

Ezra and Nehemiah from @garphillgames.bsky.social needs a few more things going on… it’s too simple to grok. lol. Great game, but man oh man, is my head spinning.

Apiary by Connie Vogelmann from @stonemaiergames.com is a winner! So very good. And tons of variability.

Happy Pride Month!

I’m making it official: shrimp and grits is my all time favorite food.

My design vibe primarily consists of the real-time transition of joy and pride into anger and sulking and then finally into useful energy as another self-declared “epiphany” or “breakthrough” turns to dog turd on the table.

Iteration drives everything. #failfaster

This would be a nice thing to do. I’m in favor of this.

@peters.senate.gov Why are you complicit with every vote that allows the Right to continue piling on working people? Why are you betraying the folks in Michigan who voted for you because we didn’t want the MAGA candidates?

When the MCG team does game design, it is a heady mix of unadulterated genius, raw sex appeal, and sweet sweet mathematics. It is dangerously psychosensual.

Galactic Cruise is a very fun heavy euro. It is also very procedural, but that is one kind of fun that I tend to enjoy. Lots to explore, but I really enjoy it.

Game design night with the MCG crew. I like where this follow up to River Valley Glassworks is headed.

SETI is a really, really good heavy euro. Dare I say, GREAT!
February 26, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Glad you liked it!
Beyond the Horizon from @mattriddlegames.bsky.social @adamhillmcg.bsky.social a reimplantation of Beyond the Sun is a MUCH better game. Plays better and looks much better. Great civ game

“Camp Three Sisters” is under way! This is the day we run every scenario and every scenario combo for the Three Sisters Essential Edition launching on KS in 2025. It’s a great day to be alive!

Inferno by Fernando Eduardo Sanchez from Red Mojo is really enjoyable, and it is dripping with theme. Love the way souls moving through Hell relates to your action selection in Florence. So many levers to pull. Good design!

Votes For Women by Tory Brown from @fortcircle.bsky.social is a really good game. Love the way it is such a back and forth struggle the entire game. Really great at 2p.

I currently have about 14 games on my shelf of opportunity. Half of these are Vital Lacerda games.

I need more friends ready to learn and play five-hour games.

Happy Kwanzaa to my friends who celebrate.

Stocking stuffers from the Hills:

Dad: Chocolate & sweets
Mom: Hygiene products

This speaks loudly and clearly.
