A few words from others I’ve worked with

“The course continues to get better"

“(Joe’s book) would have accelerated my progress… by decades.”

“(Joe) knows what it takes to get a game published”

"Joe really cares and wants to help. He is fully genuine in wanting everyone to succeed. He is constantly putting out content and the course continues to get better. Wherever you are on the journey, I know you’ll benefit from Joe’s experience.”

 

Neil Baker

Board Game Design Course student

“Without a doubt, if I had read Joe’s book back in 1989, it would have accelerated my progress and potential as a game designer by decades.”

 

Jamey Stegmaier

Designer of Scythe, one of the top board games of all time

“In board game design, there’s a limit to how much you can learn just from reading books and blogs; Joe has a firm grasp on industry trends, important networks to follow, and knows what it takes to get a game published.”
