I’m a tabletop and TCG writer for The Outerhaven with a lifelong love of games that bring people together around a table. I grew up alongside Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and generations of board games, and I’ve never really stopped playing. I cover board games and TCGs through reviews, news, previews, interviews, and events, with a focus on how games actually play, what makes them worth your time, and the communities built around them. I’m particularly drawn to strategy-heavy games, immersive worlds, and apparently spending far too much time tweaking a deck that was perfectly playable three versions ago.
