About Me

Hi, my name is Simon Beal. My passion for board and card games started when I first played Magic: The Gathering back in the 90s. This eventually led to dabbling in game design. During the pandemic I decided to design games professionally – it was during this time that I designed three games that would be signed as lockdown came to an end. Two of those games (The Gauntlet and Micro Bots) have now been published, and the third has been signed and is currently in development.

I have several other games that are pitch ready, and many more in the pipeline covering a variety of themes and mechanisms. My main focus is on mid-weight strategy games that have fun & crunchy decisions that reward clever play.

During the many years designing games, I have connected and worked with numerous talented designers. Helping other designers work on their games is just as rewarding as creating my own games. This led me to offering professional game development and related services.

My interest in gaming also led me into the world of 3D printing and laser cutting. I now run an online store selling custom accessories for a variety of games, as well as custom requests.
