Testimonials
Sam is an excellent designer. His greatest strength is in understanding what experiences mechanics evoke. He creates small moments that build towards bigger ones, and his games guide you towards telling the best stories together.
I know very few designers who can understand mechanics at this level and his insight is sharp and true.

Sword Queen Games
Révolution stands out as the most pleasant surprise ... I started reading Révolution before recording one night and I had a really critical eye going in. By the end of it I was like "Oh, no. I totally see how this works!" My mind has been expanded; this wasn't what I was expecting at all.

Sam is a great designer and collaborator. Working together on My Partner The Ghost, I really appreciated how well he connected mechanics with the genre. The moves he designed give players a lot of room to explore nuanced themes and narrative structures.
