About Rum Runner Games

Aloha! My name is Dillon, and I’m the founder of Rum Runner Games, a creative venture born from equal parts adrenaline, imagination, and island inspiration.

Before diving into the world of game development, I spent several years chasing snowstorms as a professional snowboarder. That chapter of my life taught me the value of precision, flow, and the thrill of pushing limits, lessons I now carry into every game I design.

In 2023, I traded snow-capped peaks for sun-soaked shores and made the move to Oahu, Hawai'i. Surrounded by vibrant culture and untamed beauty, I found a fresh spark for storytelling and world-building. That inspiration led to the creation of Rum Runner Games LLC in 2024, a studio focused on crafting bold, immersive experiences that blend heart, humor, and just the right amount of chaos.

At Rum Runner Games, we believe in taking risks, breaking molds, and building adventures that stick with you long after the game ends. Whether it’s on a tabletop or a digital platform, I’m here to tell stories that make you lean in, laugh loud, and maybe, even just for a moment feel like you're standing on top of the world again.

Aloha! My name is Josh and I am an Analog Game Designer specializing in the development of compact, solo tabletop games that encourage mindful play and digital disconnection. With a focus on immersive storytelling and streamlined mechanics, my work is designed to deliver rich, narrative-driven experiences in a portable format.

My designs are rooted in the evocative realms of science fiction and barbarian fantasy, offering players an escape into thoughtfully crafted worlds that inspire imagination and engagement. Each game is carefully constructed to be accessible, repayable, and ideal for moments of solitude whether at home or on the go.

By blending thematic depth with minimalist design, I aim to create meaningful experiences that bring the joy of analog gaming to players seeking a refreshing alternative to screen-based entertainment.
