My name is Bill Huffman. I am a full-time editor. I am a husband and father. I am a baseball coach. I am also a board game designer. To date, I have fully designed four games and have another dozen in myriad places along the design and development process. I am unpublished to this point, but that will change.
I am interested in all kinds of tabletop games, and my game design approaches are similarly diverse. I have games that include the following mechanisms: abstract strategy, engine-building, tableau-building, set collection, markets, drafting, roll and move (gasp), verb and write, closed economy, resource building and trading, and more, and combinations therein.
I have games that are for two players, two to four players, three to five players, solo variants, etc. Through a love of playing, playtesting, iterating, and breaking, each game evolves into something I enjoy playing and I hope other people will enjoy too.
Additionally, I love the board game community, its camaraderie and support of one another, and its inclusivity. We wish the best for one another and help as best and whenever we can. To that end, I offer to proofread fellow designers' rule books and sell sheets for no cost. As a professional editor, I know the English language, have a great attention to detail, and understand how to let words do their work. As a game designer, I have insight from another lens that pairs well with editing to offer a great free service that I take seriously.
Someday, I will post that my game has been accepted by a publisher. But whether I do get published or not, I am designing and helping my fellow designers with theirs.
