Who we are

Mark

Mark works as a UI designer for Forgotten Empires. He is a graduate of Drexel University, majoring in Game Design and Production. He prefers tabletop games over video, with the Age of Empires series being the lone exception. His list of all time favorites includes Bohnanza, Dominion, and pretty much anything by Reiner Knizia.

In his opinion, great games use components efficiently and allow complexity to evolve from one or two fundamental rules.

And he hates dice.

Karl

Karl has always enjoyed playing what became known as Eurogames, starting with Avalon Hill classics like PanzerBlitz and Tobruk. More recent favorites include Scythe, Concordia, Photosynthesis, and War Chest.

Designing games is a recent foray, and creating compact, strategically complex games while minimizing randomness is an exciting challenge.

And he hates dice.
