It was a privilege to talk about game design at the Mind Builders Kwanzaa Celebration this December.

How do you find some of your answers or solutions to creative problems? I have always been fortunate to find most solutions in “dream time.”

Games of chance have an uncanny ability to transform social settings into vibrant, laughter-filled gatherings.

I must have played Gin-Go over 1,000+ times since its creation in 1976. When played “1-on-1,” an exciting game can take about 30 to 45 mins.

Since I was a kid, taking things apart and trying to create something new and different from the pieces always caught my attention.

Between the good-natured storytellers and spirited competitors who play for keeps, it’s an exercise in mental agility and social grace.

Gaming adds a dimension to a conversation that otherwise would not exist, from poking innocent fun to making blank threats.

Amura Unlimited heads out South Bend, Indiana for PopiCon board gaming convention to showcase Kitunda, Gin-Go and other games.

A new year can take place at any time. We don’t want to build a new damn without making sure the old one is fortified.

Somehow, we’ve reached a point where the computer seems to have been here forever, at least from my point of view.

The more I play Kitunda, the more I enjoy its experience. The moment the element of chance is introduced, it levels the playing field.

If you play a game enough times, specifically if it’s a new concept game, you’ll find cracks in the marble.

This summer, I was able to complete and publish two books. “Of Prose and Passing Thoughts” in July and “Song Lyrics of Amurá” in August.

How many of you have learned to judge a person’s character on how they play a game and how they lose it?

Watching my kids explain my games to strangers, putting smiles on their faces and joy in their eyes. Well, it put a lump in my throat.

For the last month and a half, I’ve been cataloging the lyrics of finished songs I have written over the previous five decades.

Dice in any board game brings “chance” as a component to the game. Strategy comes into play when a player uses it to their advantage.

We recently showcased some of our games to the public at the LI Tabletop Game Expo. It was our first major, and it was quite an experience.

Exhibiting is always an interesting experience. I find that it’s like introducing your family to a group of strangers.

Mom would have been 96 years old this February. She was surprised to see some of my early board games and would love a good game of Gin-Go.
