Hello everyone! I'm Eugene, founder of Genie Games and creator of Rats to Riches, Peranakan: Tiles and Tactics, and Singapore Showdown.
This is my first time ever writing a guest blog, and I'm incredibly honoured to be given this opportunity by Oliver to share my story with you.
As the title states, I'm 29 years old as of writing this. Nine months ago, I quit my job as a Singaporean Navy Officer, to start my own company to design and publish board games full-time.
How did I end up here?
Well, the answer to that goes back 20 years ago.

CW: Game design art - Stirred
Before and after artwork for Stirred. Based on playtests, I was looking for a way to increase recognition on the player choice of movement along with an update to the background so the elements look like they are floating in a pool of goo. I really love the cartoon style of the original, but wanted to explore using something a little darker based on the theme. New art by @mogo_graphics #boardgames #DesignDiary #unpublished
