Our Story
Two brothers bound by a love of strategy games and red poodles
Michael Patashnik is a software engineer and musician living in Brooklyn, New York. His game interests tend towards the more freeform. When he's not boardgaming, he's an avid Dungeons and Dragons player and perpetual Game Master. He usually loses to Josh at Magic the Gathering, but manages to put up a good fight in Dominion.
Josh Patashnik is a government consultant, photographer, and retired pro Legends of Runeterra (LoR) player living in Washington DC. In 2022, he was the only player in the world to top cut every single LoR seasonal tournament and made it to semifinals twice in a row. He's the perfectionist of the pair, relentlessly optimizing his strategies. When he's not boardgaming, he is exploring DC by bike.
This little sleepy guy is Schroeder. He is our Red Pup! While he does not know how to play board games, he likes to sit next to people who play them.
He loves pets, treats, and waking up our dad up at 4am.
