Paul A. DeStefano	Paul is a Creative Director (one of the few careers open to an acting and philosophy major) and spends his days writing and making pretty pictures. His first job was at a Chess store, where he tried in vain to get them to carry other games. Realizing that most game design is writing and making pretty pictures, he now splits the activities between his day job and designing games. Considering he spends most nights training in various martial arts, the fact that any of his games have anything to do with anything besides hand to hand combat is astounding. OK, most of his designs involve hand to hand combat--watch this space! CGF Games: Aapep
Carl Chudyk	Carl graduated from MIT in '97 with a B.S. in Math. Entering the real world at the height of the dotcom rush, he promptly moved to California with the rest of his generation. As the bubble burst, he returned home and spent the next three years practicing game design during his days as a foot messenger for RS Express, a downtown courier service in Boston. During this time he frequently attended the MIT Strategic Games Society to play favorite games and test new ones. CGF Games: Glory To Rome, Ice Pirates of Harbour Grace, Sneeze
Ed Carter	Ed graduated from Cambridge University (UK) in '92 with one of the worst Math degrees of his year after spending far, far too much time unicycling, roleplaying and playing strategic board and card games. He then spent two years learning how much he didn't know about marketing when he self-published his first game (Kersplatt! an early version of Splat!) before finally getting a real job working for Staples as part of their UK startup. Since then Ed has also worked for Staples in the US, Canada, Germany and Belgium, including launching four new business models in the past five years. CGF Games : Splat!
Erek Slater	Erek was a core member of our team through-out our 2005 development cycle and gave huge input into both our business plan and the design of our first games.

YES! We'd love to see your game idea.

We're a very young company and we're not fully ramped up yet, but as we get established we'll be looking to publish games from 6 to 10 brand new designers per year.

The kinds of games we're looking for are:

Stand alone, non-collectible card or board games (expandable is fine)
Simple components (e.g. chips, dice, pawns)--nothing electronic, no custom molding
Not dependent upon licencing (e.g. specific book or TV character)

Right now we're focused on "Euro" games, but would certainly consider simple war games that could be marketed to a main stream audience.
