Board Game Binge

After inventing, self-producing and licensing her own toys and games, Mary turned her passion for invention to help other inventors through DiscoverToysandGames.com, the world's largest co-op of toy and game inventors.  In 2003, Mary launched the Chicago Toy & Game Fair (CHITAG) with a plan to create the largest American celebration of play. In 2006 she introduced the Toy & Game Inventor's Conference to help new inventors connect with industry experts, and in 2008 the Toy & Game Innovator of the Year Awards (TAGIEs) to honor and celebrate toy and game innovators.  Tracks for professional inventors, design students, social media and play in education have been added to the Conferences through the years. Thinking to celebrate play in an edgier way, she launched PlayCHIC, a toy and game inspired fashion event in 2011. 2006 saw the debut of the Young Inventor Challenge which has over 250 kids competing from around North America and overseas. It’s all about encouraging inventiveness and creativity in kids! Mary's latest initiative is POP! It is a bit of linkedin+imdb+wikipedia+match+fivvr all rolled into one powerful platform for anyone interested in toys and games!

Arwen Kathke has been playing hobby board games since 2011 and started the Cardboard Time podcast in November of 2020.  Arwen feels that gaming should bring people together at the table and seeks to provide a welcoming environment for newcomers and veteran gamers alike to come together and learn about the board gaming hobby through discussing games new and old.  She also feels the stories behind the development of games are also important to hear and hopes to bring a bit of visibility to the human side of the industry with interviews and discussions with the publishers, artists, and designers of the games we play.  Come join her on her journey to take her shelf of shame down to zero games on the Cardboard Time Podcast, available wherever you download your favourite podcasts or go here: https://anchor.fm/cardboardtime

Eric and Shannon Geller are the husband and wife team behind the creation of Quests & Cannons through their company Short Hop Games. Eric is a lifelong gamer and Shannon is new to the hobby, so they found it difficult to find games they could both enjoy together, especially strategy games. Many games were either inaccessible for Shannon, or lacked depth for Eric, so they set out to create a game that better bridges that gap between the seasoned gamer and the new comer, finding that many people shared that need as well. Quests & Cannons is their first game aimed at that goal!" 

You can check out the Kickstarter for Quests & Cannons here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/short-hop-games/quests-and-cannons?ref=ar7xce
