JonMichael Rasmus (jmsr525) United States Madison Wisconsin Patron Badge for 2005 through 2020

I came to BGG because I wanted to know how well my first board game design was going to be received.

I stayed at BGG because I found the intelligence and the conversations to be engaging and the discussion to fun and thought provoking.

I started contributing to BGG because I wanted to give something back to the site that's given me so much.

All that said: I don't really play board games.

I was raised to competitively and I cannot enjoy them without trying to win and getting very upset if I don't. So I don't play, I facilitate.

My two friends, Sean & John, have designed games with me.

Games published: Double Feature (formerly Cineplexity), Those Pesky Garden Gnomes
Games in the works: Tar Nation

I hail from small Wisconsin towns. I love my wife and she loves to game. We eat in alphabetical order in Madison: www.madisonatoz.com. We have written a book called "Madison Food: A History of Capital Cuisine"

I work at the Wisconsin Lottery in drawings. I shuffle for a living.
