I've worked on various board game projects over the years, both locally and internationally.

The first official title was the localized Greek edition of the Fantasy Flight LCG Lord of the Rings, the Card Game, by Fantastikos Kosmos Publications. I've collaborated with a few different publishers since and worked on titles such as Aether Captains (and its expansions), Carrotia (and its expansions), Burglars, and more for Mage Company, various in-house titles for Desyllas Games while I worked with that company, Solomon Kane: the Board Game, Enchanters, Super Fantasy Brawl and Reichbusters: Project Vril for Mythic Games and the latest one, Back O' Beyond: Tales of Blood & Salt, for Fabled Games, to name a few.

As my role has been mostly a hands-on graphic designer, I've worked on various aspects and stages of a board game production process (which is always a collaborative effort, so I cannot take full credit for any of the titles mentioned), from game logos, icons, SFX, card and sleeve designs to full layouts, to social-media and crowdfunding platform content. Following, I'm showcasing but a few of the most recent and prominent examples of my work. In most of these projects, my main involvement was to assemble the entirety of each game for proper production, which means that all components had to be concise with the design direction, with each other and with all the proper technical aspects met. However, I was tasked with designing some icons, components, leaflets and box layouts from scratch too. Back O’ Beyond was the one project where I worked on all components from scratch along with the guidance of the creative director/chief designer of the game.

The Quiet: Level One Kickstarter campaign hosted by legendary artist Jonah Lobe is the second to last addition to my portfolio and my role in this was to design the mockups, graphics and marketing ads for the campaign itself.

Ion Core, a 1-4 players thematic sandbox game set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world is now a live campaign on GAMEFOUND until February 5, 2025. Click on the title and visit the game’s eminent GF campaign to see my latest collaboration with the wonderful team at Magister Games!

QUIET: LEVEL ONE - An Original Graphic Novel by Jonah Lobe!

QUIET: Level One is an original work written and illustrated by award-winning artist and world-builder Jonah Lobe (Skyrim/Fallout/Marvel Anatomy). This 180+ page epic will feature artwork rendered in classic black-and-white, as well as richly colored chapter pages. The enhanced Kickstarter-exclusive Hardcover Edition will add behind-the-scenes concept art, writing, and Quiet-themed work from guest artists.

In this epic adventure, a brave little skeleton, Quiet, and their companion, the Narrator Worm, are on a quest to save the Tree of Worlds from destruction. Level One takes place in the Labyrinth, where – with only the voice of the mysterious Spider to guide them – our heroes must rely on each other to prevent Galahorn, the unstoppable invader, from ascending the Tree of Worlds. Meanwhile, the evil blade known as Threadcutter has at last been found… and is beginning to whisper.

Like Yggdrasil, the Norse Tree of Life, Quiet: Level One's Tree of Worlds contains a multitude of realities. Each branch is a world unto itself; a new Level replete with different environments, creatures, and quests. Together, these Levels form a stepladder to the font of Creation itself… which is exactly where Galahorn is headed.

The Tree of Worlds is beautiful, terrifying, and exceedingly strange – while feeling familiar to fans of fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, and videogames. In the Labyrinth, Quiet must contend with traps, monsters, magical items, and more. How can our Level 1 skeleton possibly defeat the Level 100 barbarian? We'll have to find out…

Based upon the stories by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan), Solomon Kane is a narrative adventure board game featuring exceptional 35mm miniatures.

It is a highly innovative co-operative game of storytelling, resource management, and tactical miniatures play. Players take the part of the invisible powers of good and light who aid Solomon Kane in his quest to overcome the forces of Darkness. Drawing upon Howard’s famous tales of the Puritan avenger, the core box allows players to tell their own versions of the Rattle of Bones, Skulls in the Stars, and Blue Flame of Vengeance. Expansions recreate Howard’s other Solomon Kane stories, as well as adding original adventures for the hero, created especially for the game.

In Solomon Kane, players take on the roles of the four Cardinal Virtues: Courage, Justice, Prudence, and Temperance. These immortal beings strive to lead mortals down the path of Goodness. Each is a stalwart and implacable foe of the Evil that lurks in the Darkness.

The players, as Virtues, must act together to aid the mortal hero Solomon Kane in his fight against the Darkness. This is the fearless opponent who tries to thwart our hero at every turn, and who must be overcome by the players if Solomon Kane is to emerge victorious. But why would the Virtues care about Solomon Kane? Surely there are many mortals they could aid? The answer is simple: none share his boundless faith and determination to fight the Darkness, whatever the odds or the cost.

Super Fantasy Brawl is a fun, fast-paced competitive miniatures board game!

In the land of Fabulosa, powerful magics have rendered war obsolete. With nothing else to compete for, the bored populace has turned to the Super Brawl for entertainment. These same powerful magics are now used to reach back into the timelines to pluck out the finest warriors from every civilization in order to compete against each other in the greatest entertainment spectacle ever staged.

Players select a team of three champions and combine their unique action cards to create a synergistic action deck. The game is faction-free, so players have their choice of any combination of champions they wish. Each turn, the players use their hand of action cards to maneuver, attack, displace enemies, and claim objectives to score victory points.

The objectives in Super Fantasy Brawl are only scored at the beginning of a players' turn, ensuring that you always get a chance to disrupt your enemy's plans and position your champions to score the objective for yourself.
