Our Team

Dominant Species is my favorite game, and I really enjoy area control games like Blood Rage, Kemet, Cyclades, and Inis. Time’s Up is also a favorite.

As a kid, I played a lot of the classic games – War, Monopoly, and Life – with my grandma. As I got older, HeroQuest and Dungeons and Dragons became staples in my gaming.

Gaming with Stefan Feld would be a dream come true. He’s always been one of my favorite designers. It would also be great to game with Phil Eklund.

I love a good 2+player game that I can play with my husband, and then easily teach my friends. Tiny Epic Galaxies is one of my all-time favorites. 

Through a mutual connection, I was introduced to Travis and Action Phase Games, helping them kick off their first Kickstarter campaign: Heroes Wanted. I fell in love with the industry and have been playing everything that crosses my table since.

I really enjoy when I get to play with someone new. Games are for everyone, so when someone says they don’t think they’d like a game, I take it as a challenge to find the right game for them.

Easily Dominant Species. I like most games with “dudes on a map” but the combination of theme, complexity, and interest that Dominant Species can create with a bunch of cones and cubes is what elevates it to the top of my list.

I started playing Magic the Gathering in 1998 and focused mostly on that till I finally quit when I decided it was time to diversify my gaming and dove head first into the hobby starting my collection with a little game called Arkham Horror.

If your response to “I play board games” is, “do you mean like monopoly?” then I want to play with you. I really enjoy bringing new people into the hobby and sharing the pleasure that comes with sitting around a table with actual people and sharing an experience that isn’t hidden behind a screen.

Cooperative games, and solo games tend to be my favorite. Growing up, I always enjoyed split-screen video games. When those died off, board games filled that void.

It was definitely Arkham Horror. My friends and I pulled it off of the demo shelf after a Magic: the Gathering tournament, and I ended up buying a copy to bring home.

I’d love to have played Codenames with Robin Williams. Can you imagine some of the clues he would give?

Imperial 2030, In the Year of the Dragon, and Poker.

This is twofold. My grandfather taught me checkers at the age of 5, and won my very first game!  I was forever hooked on games of all types after that.  My gateway into modern board games was Settlers of Catan.

It would be the great military commanders from history, with my personal favorite being Hannibal Barca.

I like cooperative and competitive games alike. I have loved every Tiny Epic game I’ve played. Getting a group of us together for some Coup, Dungeon Roll or Codenames is always a good time.

Like most people, I’ve played board games as long as I can remember. Back in the day, Risk, Stratego and Hungry Hungry Hippos were my jam but the game that first got me in my adult life was Zombicide. I still remember one of the first games I played and seeing the horde of zombies chasing us down as we frantically fought to escape had my heart pounding like I was playing a video game.  I had never experienced that thrill from a board game and have been hooked ever since.
