Hi!
My name is Pam and I am an independent board game designer. I design, playtest and pitch tabletop games.

Games
2023
Blob Party is my third game, published by Wiz Kids and releasing at Gen Con 2023. It is a cooperative party game where players start as individuals, but try to all end up on one big team (or one big blob) before the end of seven rounds. They do this by trying to write down the same answer to two random prompts, like "Music" and "Lightning." Maybe players would write Bohemian Rhapsody or Grease. Anyone who wrote the same thing becomes a blob and will work together, coming up with one answer for their blob moving forward.
2020
My second game is Act Fast, published by Outset Media in 2020. It is a fast paced charades game with one guesser and multiple players acting out words at the same time. Each actor has a timer and flips it if their word is guessed correctly. The guesser keeps going until one of the actors' timers runs out. I was inspired by classic video games like Tapper and Popeye where you try to catch things before they fall.

2017
Hold That Face was my first published game. I pitched it to Hasbro in 2016 and it was published the following year as part of their subscription box program. It is a party game where players guess which scenario their teammate is reacting to based solely on their facial expression. Scenarios are drawn from the Happy, Sad, Scared or Mad decks.

1 on 1 session
Do you have questions about board game design or want feedback on a game you are working on?
Book a 1 on 1 session with me! Check out this testimonial from a new board game designer I met with:
“Super grateful for my session with Pam. She gave me great direction on thinking through aspects of my board game that I would not have thought of on my own and she asked great questions that got me thinking in new ways.
She went out of her way to research who the right people were for me to contact about my project and provided honest insight on the parts of my game that did not make sense.
Kind, professional, and wants to see others succeed. That's a killer combo! Thanks again, Pam!"
