Game Creator Markus Reinhardt

about me

I am a passionate game designer and creator. After years of working with children and young people of all ages, I discovered just how transformative playful moments and creative challenges can be for personal growth and building connections.
My journey took me through photography, image editing, and graphic design, where I developed a deep appreciation for aesthetics and creativity. Eventually, I found my true calling in game design, creating board and card games that bring people together, spark joy, and inspire meaningful connections.
I design games that not only entertain but also encourage thoughtfulness and foster bonds. My goal is to craft experiences that unite people, whether around the kitchen table, in casual gatherings, or during intense game nights with friends.

VARIASCHACH

Instead of traditional chess pieces, 32 unique cubes with chess symbols on 5 sides take the stage. The king stays the king, but every other cube transforms into a new piece with each move, creating endless tactical possibilities. Four exciting basic game modes offer variety—whether driven by chance or a strategic rotation. Are you ready to rethink the game of kings?

New games are needed ;)

The big day is January 31! I’ll be showcasing my three newest games at the Game Designers’ Fair in Nuremberg. Since they’re still top secret, you’ll only find some blurry sneak peeks here on the website. I’m super excited to present them to interested publishers and chat about amazing games together.
