Whats behind the decisions players have to make in Dungeons & Dragons? No matter what game it is, a lot of thinking, inventing, and deciding went into it. To get from an idea for a game to a finished product can take years!
Lets take a look at how one game designer made it happen.

PANDEMIC
Since he was a kid, designer Matt Leacock dreamed of publishing his own board games. He made his own games as a hobby throughout high school and college. After college, he went to work for companies such as AOL and Yahoo, working to improve user experience on different technological products. He designed lots of cool thingsbut he never forgot about games. In fact, he kept designing them on the side.
In 2000, Matt designed a game called Lunatix Loop. He printed 200 copies of it on his laser printer and set up a booth at the German game industry show called Spiel. In 2007, Matt pitched the idea for a new game, Pandemic, to publishers. Pandemic is a cooperative game about fighting outbreaks of disease and pandemics. He licensed the game to Z-Man Games.
Pandemic has sold millions of copies since it came out in 2009, making it one of the bestselling modern board games. Its also won many design awards and influenced lots of new games. Matt Leacock now designs games for a living!
