My Game Designs

ICEHOUSE GAMES:
- Dectana is the first Icehouse+Decktet hybrid, and is my attempt to build a better Gnostica on a new foundation. (2009)
- Conquest of Mars, an abstract wargame using pyramids, playing cards, and dice, needs playtesters. (2008)
- Juxtapose, a Treehouse set derivative of Martian Tic-Tac-Toe, is ready for playtesting. (2005)
- Timberland, in which Treehouse meets Volcano, could use some way to control its randomness. (2007)
- Traction, the game of walking pyramids, needs some basic revisions. (2005)
- Olympus Mons, a chess-like game inspired by field promotion, is ready for playtesting. (2006)
OTHER GAMES:
- He's made a sneaky little tile game, Wanderlust, a Fluxx-like exploration game using double-sided tiles. Make your own copy today! (Now available in French and Japanese.) (2007)
- Check out Hydropolis, a city-building game for 2-5 players using a Waterworks deck. Complete rules and revision history are posted on my website, and a German translation is out there. Give it a try, then go to BGG and rate it! (2007)
- He's got a stand-alone card game, Ferrball's Mansion, the game of cartoon mayhem. Playtesters wanted! (2004)
- Cube Clash is an abstract Chess-like game using Dragon Dice. Alpha rules are up, and looking for playtesters. (2008)
