Thorsten Gimmler

Thorsten Gimmler (* 1966 ) is a German author of board and card games . He has been working full-time as a product manager at Schmidt Spiele since February 2005 .

During his electrical engineering studies, which he completed with an engineering degree, he often met like-minded people to play together. In the process, the idea of ​​having your own game on the shelf once matured, so Gimmler attended the annual authors' game meeting in Göttingen for the first time in 1995 to get advice and suggestions. It took until 1999 for a game to be published for the first time.
