About Brett J. Gilbert

How did I become a game designer? Born and raised in the English countryside, and with a mind adapted to maths and patterns, I eventually chose a life not of doing things, but of making things. Or at least of making sense of things. That’s what design is. And game design is the selfimposed challenge of doing that while striving to create something that can let other people join in and somehow enjoy the answers to questions they’ll never ask. But if you’ve got this far I have a question for you: Did you get to the end of the rules and think “But I wanted more words to read! The rulebook is my favourite bit!”? Put this down and play the game. And if you don’t like it, change it. Go on. I dare you. Answer your own questions. That could really be the start of something.
