Game Design
Long Business Description

Since 1978, Game Design is the name of the business I started after selling my half of Judges Guild. I then produced a travel related board game called Going Places that I sold 5,000 of before going back to Franklin Travel full time. However I have maintained Game Design as a sideline to sell odds and ends while producing lots of free play aids for favorite games.
