OBG 584: Small Box Big Fun
Q: So tell us, you did leave out one key piece of information about yourself, and that is that you have a new game, Wine Cellar, that is out and available as well.
Wine Cellar grew from a personal passion—it's my first published game, built around wine knowledge, accessible auction mechanics, and a compact 18-card origin that later expanded to support more players. It was designed to be portable and approachable for both wine lovers and gamers, with tasting notes on cards to inspire real-world exploration of wines.
