My name is Ben Hudson and am the founder of Tabbytop Games LLC. I have been passionate about tabletop games my whole life, from playing board games with my family, collecting and painting wargaming miniatures and playing collectable card games. As young as 8 years old I remember designing my own game cards for a game I made up. To me, tabletop games offer a way to bring people together, create fond memories and also unleash competitive emotions together.

Around 2018 I began designing the first version of a card game that ended up becoming the Stride & Strike project as the game went through many changes and versions. As the game improved and playtests with friends and family started to feel like a real game I began to envision this passion project transcending into a publishable game. I have learned a lot through this experience about game design and business and hope to continue to design unique games. At the end of the day, I hope the games I design can serve as a medium to bring people together to share laughs, tense moments, conversations, and fond memories.

Special thanks to my beautiful fiancée Wenqi who has helped me so much throughout all steps of this business and game development and for being by my side. Thanks to my family and friends who endured many play tests and shared their support throughout my life.

Shoutout to my cats Kola (black and white) and Sinky (tabby) for always finding a way to be involved even when you weren’t asked to be.
