Shall we play a game?

Every game links straight to Amazon, so you can grab the ones you are missing in time for game night, see the box art, and read the reviews. I only recommend games I actually play.

Aether Convergence
2 to 4 players · 60 to 90 min · Ages 14+
In the beginning there was light. Now the gods compete to reclaim it. Before the world had color, there was only Aether. Then it shattered. Six gods place sacred triangles on a cosmic prism, and where three converge, a new color is born. Beautiful to look at, endlessly deep to play. My original design. You're on the list, so you'll play it first.— Russell, The Collector Geek · Reclaim the light.
In Development
Día de los Muertos
Another original game I'm designing
Bright, bold, and full of heart. In honor of my wife's family, and her abuela Mary. 🤍 You're on the list, so you'll be first to play it.— Russell, The Collector Geek
I'm designing two original games of my own. You're on the list, so you'll be first to play them.
