Bucket list

A selfie of me in a black cap and t-shirt holding up a hand-made wooden game board, painted green on one half and red on the other and covered in rows of pegs, next to two game cards labeled 'Standard' and 'Coop'. A framed Lego version of Hokusai's Great Wave and a bookshelf are behind me.
Cooperation Cube: a physical board game I invented.
