I love games — board games, card games, video games, and small puzzles I can play on a screen or a kitchen table. In my spare time I build little ones of my own. Backgammon is my favourite.

games I make

Small things I build for the joy of it — some to help kids learn, some just to make people smile.

oto & lujza — online.vinte.sk

Online activities for Slovak primary-school children, complementing the Človek a spoločnosť workbooks from Vinte. The books' characters — Oto the hedgehog and Lujza the squirrel — guide the way.

Clocks, compass points, road signs, euro coins, recycling, family trees, the continents — plus a couple of arcade games for fun.

backgammon

Easy to learn, with no ceiling on strategy. The dice mean anyone can beat a grandmaster in a single game — though the better player wins in the long run. Games are short, every position has a best move a computer can find, and reviewing a match afterwards is the fastest way I know to actually improve.

backgammon notes

Strategy, cube decisions, openings & more — things I learn and want to keep within reach.

other things I make

Little side projects that aren't games, but were fun to build anyway.
