Description Edit | History

Ben “Big Ben” Cichoski is a bear-sized game designer who has been making games since he was a cub. He is probably best known for his work as the head designer for the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, first at Upper Deck and then at Cryptozoic Entertainment. He is also the lead designer of multiple board games slated to be published by Cryptozoic. Much to the sadness of Cryptozoic, in May of 2011 Ben made the hard decision to leave off working on TCGs and board games, as he wanted to bring his skills to the world of digital gaming. He is excited to be starting work on a new MMO at 38 Studios.

Big Ben is a family man, and he hopes to one day see his sons, Gus and Max, grow to be even bigger than he is. Big Ben is also known for his friendship with game developer Drew Walker, which is loosely detailed in an original, Oh When the Drews Go Marching In.
