Board game fanatic who's designing and publishing a thematic adventure game called Doom's Peak: Curses & Calamities, crowdfunding in the spring 2026.
The new games I picked up at UK Games Expo. It was my first time attending and I was fantastic. I plan to attend again next year. #ukge #ukgamesexpo #boardgamesconventions #newboardgames #boardgames

Here is a peek at the components for the Vantage game designed by Jamey Stegmaier and published @stonemaiergames.com. He has been working on this for 8 years and you can clearly this has been a passion project. With 1300+ cards and 800 locations it's a vast world to explore. It's launching in July.

It was a real pleasure to spend time with Keith Matejka and Claire Matejka at @thunderworksgames.bsky.social in Madison, WI.

Thunderworks publishes Roll Player and Cartographers (and others). Their new game, Citizens of the Spark, will be available this summer.

Recently played Ichor, a new 2-player game published by Bitewing Games. This is an abstract strategy game of Greek gods vs monsters wielding asymmetric powers. Snappy gameplay with good thinkiness. Check out my review here: www.instagram.com/p/DId73stx5Q...

Unpacked Fractured Sky by IV Studios. Very impressed with the inserts, it looks like everything is well organized. Production also looks excellent.

Hoping to play it this weekend, along with a few other new games.

New additions to my board game collection. I played Formosa Tea and Pantheum: Demigods of Olympia last week, and played Moon Colony Bloodbath at Dice Tower West. Heard good things about Fractured Sky and The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick Taking Game, can't wait to get them to the table. #boardgames

Our first official game night of the newly-formed Lake Zurich (IL) Board Game Club was a lot of fun with a great group. Special thanks to Cat, Hayleigh, Sam and Joe for joining Kandice and I!

Formosa Tea published by Soso Studio is a game about harvesting, processing and exporting tea. The theme really shines through in the mechanics. If you have time check out my review at www.instagram.com/boardgame_crunch.

After a career in advertising, marketing and sales I'm finally pursuing my real passion, board game design.

Kaptiv8 Games is my new publishing company and my first board game, Doom's Peak: Curses and Calamities, will be launching on Kickstarter in the spring of 2026. kaptiv8games.com
