About the Author
Peer Sylvester started his career in boardgaming quite early, because his dad needed an opponent in chess. In third grade he wanted to become a professional chess player. Instead he turned out to become a teacher for math and chemistry. An award-winning board-game designer of titles like The Lost Expedition, The King is Dead, and Wir sind das Volk!, he has written a number of books on the subject.
