Women Board Game Designers

Whilst parked inside Kuala Lumpur airpoirt, the light sound of energy tapping on something in my brain activated whilst perusing the toy shop for wacky merchandise … the question came – Which women have been working/pioneering in the world of board game/traditional game design?

This was a question to be followed up upon at a later date due to my limited 20 minute access time on the net, but lo and behold, there is a highly visible game designer out there who is just starting a career in board games … Who is this you ask – none other than the coolest screen villain Elle Driver, aka Daryl Hannah .

Apparently Daryl has been moon-lighting on the side of her actressing career, having produced two games. The most recent game, Liebrary, uses Balderdash-esque game-play, and revolves around knowledge of literature and player creativity. The players listen to the synopsis of a book and have to guess what the first lines of that book might be, trying to convince the other players’ that your lines are indeed true.

Well done Daryl Hannah – A new role model for women and games!!
