It's probably no surprise that the team at a game company likes games. We live, breathe, make, and dream about games. We even hosted a board game lunch pre-Covid in our office at NY Designs. As you'll see, we also have a wide-range of tastes which reveal a lot about us. Get to know the team at Move38 better and read on. Let's Play

Mary
I went on a horse-riding mini adventure in Iceland two years ago which in principle should have been a fantasy fulfilled. Both me and the horse felt a certain kind of regret as we slowly sauntered towards the craggy volcanic fields because I couldn't control my signals as I was flopping from left to right from horse's low center of gravity. We survived my mixed signals and now I must live with the shame.
Favorite Board Game: Root
Favorite Video Game: Pyre
Favorite Game System: Blinks ;) followed by Nintendo Labo or Mech Warriors the arcade pods
Favorite Sport: I am obsessed with obstacle courses. I love tough mudders and spartan races. I don't care for sports that are competitive but overcoming gravity or goofy surfaces, I'm in.
Marty

Video Games: Rampage, Warlords II, NBA Jam,
System: Blinks, Vintage Arcade Cabinets, SNES, MS-DOS

Back in 1998, I landed my teenage dream job in a comic and sports card shop (Thanks Ken Gee!) where I learned to play Magic: the Gathering, read every new issue of Preacher, and to loathe Pokemon (although I reluctantly knew all the names). Also, We were some of the first sellers ever on ebay to include photos and templates on our listings.
Dan
Favorite board game: Diplomacy (ironically, the friendship ender)
Favorite video game: Pokemon Ruby
Favorite game system: Hard to beat the Nintendo Wii, but I feel like in time the Switch will overtake it.
Favorite irl game: Curling - mostly as a spectator, but also I tried it once and it seemed fun.
