Let's be serious: it's a game.

Do you mean rules have to be explained _before_ playing?

Hi. I like both boardgaming and rolegaming. Don't be afraid to say hi in your native language, I'll gladly try to learn and I'll reply in italian.

P,S, I'm sorry but my internet connection is going on and off, so I prefer turn based tables and/or turn based tournaments.

MarkSteere

Games developed: Dodo, Gopher, Icebreaker, Zola, Silo

I am a designer of abstract games. I programmed five of my games for Board Game Arena. Gopher, Dodo, Silo, Zola, and Icebreaker. They range from very simple to extremely simple. Except for Zola, I designed these games specifically for BGA. The least popular category of games at BGA is new, unknown abstracts. I thought that eliminating the learning curve might give them a boost. So instead of “minute to learn”, I was aiming for about 20 seconds. Another compelling factor: English is the official language of BGA, but not everyone here speaks English. I wanted my BGA games to be learn-by-watching. Dodo is one of the simplest games in the world. 29% percent of its BGA players are Japanese, followed by 10% Americans. Finally, I hadn’t programmed anything since dinosaurs roamed the earth. So I needed an ultra-simple game for my first program. Enter Gopher. Boom! Exactly what I needed. After Gopher, I could have designed and programmed more complicated games, but now I’m into simplicity just for simplicity’s sake. These may be my last BGA games for a while. I want to program games with AI and 3D graphics for cellphones, maybe starting with Zola. Now I’m in the initial phase of watching YouTube videos on the subject.

I love board games since childhood. And since school, we have a weekly board game evening going, since about 10 years even with web based result protocol. When Covid changed the world, it also changed our boardgaming and we discovered BGA, which is since then our weekly gaming place. Besides that, also my family likes to play board games, in real and on BGA, so I'm quite happy about it!
