So here we are with the beginning of a company focusing on games. But why this company? What’s in the name? To learn more about the gaming community as a whole, we recommend starting here. But that doesn’t answer the question of “why us?”
Let’s start from the beginning. Jeffrey and Matthew met through our young sons who have become neighborhood friends. While the sons were playing on a little league baseball team in 2022 (and becoming the Township champions for the AA division) the dads started talking about their love of board and card games. Jeffrey’s love has continued throughout his life, while Matthew left this little slice of the world after his schooling… guessing it was time to be an adult. Little did Matthew know being an adult had nothing to do with stopping something that was fun. But now with a young son and a wife willing to participate, Matthew recently found the passion once again. Thanks to Jeffrey for helping Matthew figure this out!
Why Gnaughty Gnome Games?
Well, for a variety of reasons. Jeffrey and Matthew both grew in the 80s and 90s…the time of the great pranking: think Ding and Dash, TP-ing of houses, Saran Wrap Doorways, Whoopee Cushions, Prank Phone Calls, and so many other wonderful ‘naughty deeds’ kids would play on each other. The Gnome comes from a few areas: 1. We both sport glorious, gnomish beards. 2. We are both fans of fantasy/sci-fi novels, tv shows, and movies. 3. We grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft where one can become a gnome. So let’s combine the two and create a ‘G’naughty Gnome to guide us through the gaming community.
So what is this all about?
Jeffrey has always been one to create games and wanted to bring these games to the masses. Matthew is one who enjoys the work behind the scenes to make the magic flow creatively while adding little touches to the design. And this is where Gnaughty Gnome Games began. Two family men – each with a glorious beard; a mind to create games for families; a business mentality; and just enough to give this a shot – have created Gnaughty Gnome Games to produce innovative and enjoyable games that captivate players, foster social interaction, and provide a source of entertainment and escapism for people of all ages.
With a commitment to innovation and a touch of craziness, Gnaughty Gnome Games is ready to find their niche in the board and card game community. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on their journey!
