I have been an avid board gamer since I was in high school. I helped run a board and video game club at my alma mater, and I worked at board game shop during my gap year. When I moved to Irvine, I missed being engaged with a broader board gaming community.

In November of 2023, I received Daybreak as a gift from my BoardGameGeek.com Secret Santa. I wrote a review about the game in just a couple of hours — some haphazard thoughts that I never imagined anyone would read. To my great surprise, though, the piece was well-received!

I realized that, with more and more games coming out with nature, climate, solarpunk, or ecological themes, there must be an audience for more of this type of content. I followed up with a piece on Earthborne Rangers, specifically focusing on its sustainable production.

While these two reviews are my only two pieces to date, I have plans for much more content in the future. It will be slow to come, as my PhD has to come first, and I want to create meaningful content that goes beyond a regurgitation of mechanics. So, stay tuned — I will be sure to update my blog and post on BGG when I have something more to offer!

If you’d like me to review a particular game, or you have follow-up questions or opinions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

I’m not making content on any regular schedule – finishing my PhD is my top priority – so instead of a Patreon, I’ve opted to start a Ko-Fi. I’m not trying to earn enough money to make a living from this, but if you buy me a coffee, maybe I’ll save the world a little faster.
