LIGHT-STRATEGY FAMILY GAMES & RESOURCES FOR NEWER GAME DESIGNERS

When is the last time you played?

Playing games can be so much more than just a fun night. Great games help us connect, imagine and conquer in a way we often don't experience our every day lives. They make rivals out of our friends and collaborators out of our children. In short, great games create a bond with anyone you share the table with. Play more!

About Ben

Ben Panter.jpg

I have a passion for making accessible, family games and for helping more people join this hobby of game-making.

I grew up in a game-playing family, but we were pretty limited to the classics. As an adult I was introduced to some of the modern classics (Carcassonne, Small World, Pandemic) and I was hooked. I began to not only play more games, but also design some of my own ideas.

But after about 5 years of stumbling through various ideas, I still hadn’t really finished a game and I realized I had to change tactics. Those changes I made have allowed me to consistently finish the games I begin and to be really proud of the results.

And now, I’m still loving the game-making process and I’m excited about being able to help others along on their journey.
