My name is Japhet (rhymes with jacket) and I design board games, board game AIs, and board game scripts.
I've been into board games since I was a child. I started regularly playing modern games in 2009 when I purchased Dungeon Lords (been a CGE fan ever since). In 2018 some friends and I started a board game cafe where I play regularly. I got into designing my own games in 2018 with my first game Treasury and am now working on a drawing game called Gallery. I've also developed several AI/simulation tools for board games which you can find here as well.
I live in New Hampshire where the weather is generally great for board games. I go outside sometimes.
