Rusty Lumpkin

President/Designer

Board gaming has been a passion of mine for many years. It has always been a desire and dream to design and publish a game(s)! My favorite style of game would be heavier strategy games. My favorite game mechanic is worker placement.

Other than learning the ins and outs of the board gaming publishing business, I wear many hats. My titles also include Chemistry and Physics teacher, farmer, youth group leader, husband, and father! I studied at Ball State University where I got a degree in Chemistry and in Secondary Education. I have been teaching since 2012!

I must thank my savior Jesus Christ, my incredible wife Tabitha, and all of our supporting friends and family because this company would not exist without them.

Aggravation, Dominoes, and Old Maid are three of the games we played the most as a family when I was a kid. My dad was the sole financial provider for us while mom stayed home to take care of all of the other needs of my three brothers and me. Game nights were a special time for our entire family to be together, laugh, and enjoy one another’s company. The board game world has come a long way since my childhood days but the sole purpose of spending quality time together still holds true. In this technology driven world, it is our desire to see families and friends come together face to face to enjoy one another while enjoying a good board game. I enjoy a good strategy game but have also found lots of enjoyment in simple board games that our young children can play as well. Building the same memories with them as I grew up with is so special. Being a wife to Rusty and a mother are my greatest honors and joys. I am also a Youth Pastor and love all my extra “kids” I have been blessed to share Jesus with. My other hobbies include photography, sewing, gardening, and canning. God has been so faithful and good and we are excited to see His plans unfold with our board game company.
