Really into board games. I designed or helped design Medium, Green Team Wins, Everything Ever, and That Old Wallpaper.
FLATIRON! You and your opponent are building NYC’s historic Flatiron Building. Once you’re done, you’ll push your chair back from the table and say: “Look what we built together! You won, I think.” (That’s what I said, anyway).

Medium: Testing Fate! It's coming this year! A standalone sequel to Medium (the mind-reading party game), M:TF brings 270 inventive new word cards for even more astonishing mind melds!

If you’re looking for last-minute gift ideas for your board game designer friends, all they want is for you to text them a picture you took of their game in a game store.

We did a holiday expansion for Green Team Wins and Rolling with the Beard did a very fun review of it with a Santa hat on.
Christmas is this week if you're looking for something to spend $10 on and do during a holiday thing, btw.

The largest known game of Green Team Wins was one with 14 players on August 4, 2023. Can Brandon (Optimal Play) break this world record?
Might fuck around and scale Green Team Wins up to 50 players for our holiday house party this weekend.

The games that I do are mostly party games, and they don't tend to have a ton of rules, but there's one very important rule I like to get into every rulebook I write. People should be cool about things.

THAT OLD WALLPAPER for just five bucks! A very fun game with a sneaky card-choosing mechanic and a one-of-a-kind theme.
I’d love it if you gave it a try!

We don’t have a ton of holiday traditions, but the Exit Advent Calendar is a perennial one that we always look forward to. This Hollywood star won’t be missing for long!

If a bunch of people come over to your house, there's a lot worse things you could do than play Green Team Wins Holiday Party. It's as entertaining as Green Team Wins, as magical as a holiday, and as fun as a party!
And it has ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE new cards (which seems like too many, kinda).

Flip 7 was a massive hit with my 13 yr. old daughter.
After declaring that she hated the game several times in the first play she asked to play it 3 more times. Then asked to play The Mind. Then Green Team Wins.
Huge win for the family tonight!

World Expo! A new prototype of my Epcot-inspired dice placement. The cards are out, and this spinning wheel (the “Carousel of Nations”) is in! It’s a good game and we’re having fun with it.

1902 Méliès! One of the more interesting games we’ve played. You’re helping make the movie A Trip to the Moon: filming, editing, writing, sfx. There’s some push & pull as your opponent shifts actors or moves sets, undoing your plans. The theme comes through perfectly! Fun and sometimes frustrating.

Some days you get discouraged about designing board games and wonder if all the time and energy is worth it. And other days you get an Amazon review like "Game Crazy Family Loved" and you get whatever the opposite of discouraged is. Feeling couraged!

Build some cherished memories with That Old Wallpaper! It's the season to remember 1. tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago, 2. what that wallpaper in Grandma's old house looked like. 3. the time you got a board game for free. Make it a holiday they'll never forget!
