 | Greetings! My name is Randall Thompson and I am the designer of Get Adler! Deduction Card Game, VERTIUM: Shadows of the Complex (SciFi), SHOOTERZ Hockey Card Game, STRIKERZ Soccer Card Game, WORDOPOLIS, and the author of Gold & Sharpe (a novella inspired by Get Adler!).
I grew up in beautiful Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Looking back on my childhood, I can remember inventing games.
At around 9 and 10 years of age, I used to sit down outside and show hockey cards to my beloved dog Spotty. I also made mini baseball games in the dirt with sticks and small pebbles. And best of all, I used to cut out those same hockey cards and play hockey at the kitchen table, with a silver ball for the puck: the foil from my mother's cigarette package.
Fast forward to the late 90's, I got an eye injury at work, which made me photophobic. I couldn't take bright lights and had to wear sunglasses all the time outside. I couldn't watch TV and I couldn't work on computers. The kids and I seemed to go back in time, and we spent many evenings reading, listening to the radio and playing games. Much to my surprise, I began to invent games again ...
I have had lots of help through the years, and I thank God for each person and each invention. I hope you will enjoy the games we bring here.
Caper Games - bringing games to life! Enjoy! Randall |
