A woman living in New York who is married to @DMSamuel. 

I'm the CEO and co-founder of Board Game Atlas, publisher of 3 board games (#Last Stand, #Enfutown Bumpers, and #Hangry Thief), software engineer for about 10 years, married and have two sons, and of course, a board game enthusiast.

Co-founder of Board Game Atlas. My current 5 favorite games* are:

*Subject to change at least once every week.

I am a Kansas farm boy, currently living and working in rural El Salvador.

I am primarily a solo gamer. I do enjoy playing multiplayer games, but, since having moved away from those I used to game with, I have turned more and more to solo gamer. As I have grown in my life as a solo gamer, I have come to regard it super highly. No longer is it merely a poor substitute for multiplayer gaming, but, almost, a preference. 

My main interest is heavier games that I can play solo. I am particularly fascinated by games with strong historical themes. My top 5 as of of the end of 2020 are:

1. #Navajo Wars
2. #1862: Railway Mania in the Eastern Counties
3. #Pax Pamir (Second Edition)
4. #Pax Porfiriana
5. #Star Trek: Frontiers

Favorite games (in no particular order):

• #Oceans
• #Dune
• #Santorini
• #Everdell
• #War Chest
• #Dale of Merchants
• #Dune: Imperium
• #Inis
• #Baseball Highlights: 2045

Hello, and welcome to my profile! I am a game reviewer and content writer here at Board Game Atlas, as well as a rule book editor. I also own Board Game Immersion, a website for reviews, various types of videos, articles, and more. I am a certified copyeditor and love writing (and reading) in the fantasy and science fiction genres--the deeper the magic system, the better! My favorite movies are, of course, Star Wars (all of them), and my favorite book is Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson.

I love rugby as if it were my own flesh and blood, and I follow NHL hockey with a passion that my team--Calgary Flames--try to put out each and every season (one day we'll win the cup again...). I love watching Australian football (go Swans!) and I used to be on an actual, honest-to-goodness quidditch team (hey, it's a real thing!). I play ultimate Frisbee and was a stadium announcer for a professional team in the AULD.

I love board games (obviously) and have many favorites. Some of those favorites are X-Wing; Champions of Midgard; Heroes of Land, Air & Sea; Clank!; Tiny Epic Galaxies; Terraforming Mars; Flip Ships; and many more, mood depending.

I enjoy many hobbies and all things gaming including:

• board games (obviously)
• video games (console, PC, whatever)
• Role playing games of all stripes
• Painting miniatures
• assembling and painting model planes, tanks, cars etc

J from 3 minute board games

I'm an old person that has been playing boardgames for most of my life.

In these covid-lockdown days, I've been spending some time implementing games that amuse me in Tabletop Simulator.  And not in the 'oh, look; one can manually manipulate the assets' sense; I'm trying to create a game experience that works aesthetically for me.  Along the way, I've been trying to explore the way a user interface drives a game system; and I think the more recently implemented games are a bit cooler to play than the first ones I'd attempted.

• Borad gamer
• Board game translator
• Rules supporter

Just a middle-aged guy who woke up to smell the cardboard a few years ago.  I enjoy a variety of mechanics and themes, still experimenting and finding what I like.  Thinking of dabbling in game design, we'll see what the future holds!

Checking to see if this is any upgrade to BGG's community that has their holier-art-thou crowd with their superficial prescriptive and judgemental attitudes.
