ABOUT OUR DESIGNERS
Goosepoop Games (@goosepoop207) specializes in absurd and accessible boardgames and role-playing games! We make games perfect for new players looking for whimsy and wonder. We make games that can be taught in 10 minutes or less, allowing you to spend more time with others than with a rulebook.
Goosepoop Games is individually run by Jordan Dube. Jordan is greatly involved with the community; from running game meetups and conventions, to performing clarinet in local bands. Formerly a UX designer, programmer, sound engineer, and Army clarinetist, Jordan uses his diverse knowledge to create accessible and approachable games for everyone.
Our products include handmade board games, card games, role playing games, stickers, pins, patches, and art.
