Pizza or tacos? Can you predict how your colleagues will vote?! While most board games have just one designer's name on the box, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of others who helped shape that game before it ever reached a store shelf. Live from the "Backrooms", here's a quick overview of my new team-building game "On a Scale from 1 to 10..." My next teambuilding game, "Fake It Till You Make It", is designed for remote teams only. It’s an improv-style social guessing game where you read between the lines, spot the faker, and try to blend in if it’s you! Part personality test, part mind reader. Think like your teammate and match their answer for points! Winters in San Francisco. ❄️ Day one of the Game Developers Conference 2026! This year tabletop designers have a bigger presence than ever, and I’m thrilled to be part of it. Take a look at our kickoff event at Oracle Park last night... #GDC #GDC2026 I love designing games and helping teams connect, so I’m launching a weekly series called Chief Fun Officer. I <3 Keeshonds.  Keeshonds <3 me.  This is @bochybythebay’s girlfriend Rosie giving me love on Valentine’s Day.
