The favorite games of Sebi 2023

Sebi is also a programmer like Andi and Cami. He met Andi during their joint computer science studies. Cami through Andi and computer gaming.

Usability as highest goal

Sebi is always putting on user goggles.... with the goal to develop a system that is optimal for the Otto normal user (and not a system for the few mathematically-logically oriented computer scientists in the world). If you should ever find a pair of user glasses - Sebi is happy about every submission.

Card games shaped Sebi in his childhood

As a child he played a lot of logic games and puzzles - even today he enjoys them a lot. Due to his family he also played many games of Skat, Doppelkopf or Kniffel/Yahtzee. Skat he still loves today, Kniffel he only played at that time for the sake of the family (too much luck). But apparently a seed was sown: today he has grown fond of many new Roll&Write games (Encore, That's Pretty Clever - but also Cartographers).

Sometimes with each other, sometimes against each other - which is better?

Overall, Sebi can't decide: does he enjoy cooperative games or competitive games more? Since having children, he has had to learn that the will to win should not take precedence over everything. Nobody plays Halli Galli with him anymore. Zombie Kidz Evolution in particular has given him new insights into the great side of "togetherness".

Skill games also high on the agenda

In addition, like Andi, Sebi also particularly enjoys building up a cunning strategy, but especially with his children he also likes to play skill games like Rhino Hero or Loopin Louie.
