Hello G2Sers!  I am Lisa Reinke, a lifelong gamer and a regular attendee of Granite Game Summit from New London, New Hampshire.  Over the years, I have created some game components, variants and modules to enjoy with friends, but I have never developed a free standing game. 

Designer Alley is happening Saturday March 9th from 10am to 4pm. This is our finalized designer schedule for #G2S2025. Make sure to check out each designer’s feature. Come join in the fun!

Nolan is a creative with a variety of interests- such as visual arts, animation, music, and game design. He’s often sequestered at home working on some project, even if the weather is really, really nice out.

A lifelong gamer, I began designing games in 2022 after returning from PAX East and realizing that the games I wanted to play didn’t seem to exist yet. As a UX Designer/HCI Engineer by day and an artist at heart, I had long wanted to get into game design but just hadn’t found the right time.

We sit down with Danny to talk about Ravensburger’s latest projects, favorite gaming moments, and what makes board games such a special part of our lives. Read on to hear his insights, stories, and maybe even discover your next favorite game!

Bloom-i-nation is an area control game about bees competing to pollinate flower patches. Players draft their turn order between rounds and spend notes to perform actions and allow their bees to dance.

Cattycombs of Rhyorr:  Cattycombs of Rhyorr is a light euro with tile placement, resource management, and some asymmetry. It has a mix of strategy and randomness, but what would one expect from a game about mice with backpacks eating cheese and reclaiming trinkets that were stolen by pesky cats?

Arbor Falls: It’s time for a change, so you move out of the bustling city, to the quiet, small town of Arbor Falls. You set out to collect quirky furniture to decorate your empty home. Along the way, you help your neighbors, meet new people, and clean up the town.

Bao Wow Wow: Bao (Pronounced Bow) Wow Wow is a game that was born out of a dare and brought to life during an epic road trip. In Bao Wow Wow, unleash the power of rhyme as you strategically play item cards (think Bao, Cow, Now, Mao, Tau, and Wow) to fulfill contracts and rack up points.
