I have been developing games since middle school and have played way too many games since (if such a thing exists). I took game design classes as part of my Computer Science degree at the University of Texas. In more recent years, I have leaned into board games as a break on the eyes from my day job in software. With a current focus on streamlined strategy games accessible to a wide audience, I am aiming with TomCardGames to provide some insight into the indie game design process, connect with the gaming community, and bring excellent games to a table near you.
