ABOUT

Hi. I’m Jacob, and I love games.

I guess it all started as a kid when I made my own bootleg version of the Jumanji board game. The board was drawn on the inside of a paper folder, and the inner sleeves held the cut-up paper pieces. It was a fun thing for a dorky kid to do in a small midwestern town during the middle of a summer in the 90s. I had no idea game design was even a thing.

Flash forward 20+ years, and here I am in New York City with a drag queen boyfriend (look up Hibiscus when you get a chance). It was seeing how hard he worked and getting to know the beauty and struggle of what it takes to be successful in queer nightlife that inspired me to design and publish my first game.

While not all games that come from Sledgehog Games may be queer-centric, my first game, Drag: The Card Game, certainly is. COMING SOON TO KICKSTARTER!
