Cyrus has always enjoyed board, card, miniature, role playing, and video games, but didn’t get back into the hobby seriously until early 2000. Once he did, however, he was hooked. Looking to find others with the same passion and interest of combining the board game hobby and other geeky shenanigans with parenting, he gathered some friends, made a web site, and the rest is history. Cyrus goes by the handle fathergeek on Board Game Geek.

Meng is an Australian who became hooked on board games at high school, with such classics as Talisman and Diplomacy. Years later, he rekindled his interest while living in the United States, both immersing himself in the local gaming scene and also taking advantage of mail-order to expand his collection to some 300 items.

Karl played many of the games seen in big-box stores growing up, but much of that changed when he was introduced to Dungeons & Dragons in 1982. From there, he was also exposed to “dudes on a map” games such as Axis & Allies, Fortress America and Supremacy. Karl goes by the handle kfritz on Board Game Geek.
