Life
Hargrave earned a master's degree in public affairs and then worked for more than ten years as a policy analyst for the social research organization NORC at the University of Chicago . She later became self-employed as a health policy advisor. Always interested in games, after a game evening with friends, the question was raised why there were hardly any board games for so many interests. Following her interest in bird watching , Hargrave then developed the board game Flügelschlag (original title Wingspan ), in which players compete to settle different bird species in their habitats. The game was released in 2019, received numerous positive reviews and was named Kennerspiel des Jahres . Hargrave's next game, Mariposas , was released in 2020 and has the migration of the monarch butterfly as its theme.
Elizabeth Hargrave is married to a landscape architect and lives in Maryland .
