Kevin Newman
Hi, I’m Kevin Newman, although most people call me Kev.
I’m a board and card game designer based in London, with a passion for clever mechanisms, playful themes, puns and creating memorable moments around the table.
My background is in graphic design, animation, UX and product development, so making games brings together many of the things I love: solving problems, experimenting with ideas and turning rough prototypes into something people can enjoy.
My designs range from strategic trick-taking games to quirky solo puzzles, compact card games and party games built around laughter and surprise. I aim to create games that are easy to understand, rewarding to explore and often contain a slightly mischievous twist.
My games include One For Sorrow, a solo card game played entirely in your hand, and Infinity Rogue: Space Dungeon, published by Juegorama as part of its Microrama collection.
One of my favourite parts of game design is the community around it. I participate in the weekly Playtest UK sessions at The Ludoquist board game cafe in Croydon. We meet every Tuesday, so come along and join us! You can find me on BGG here, and I’m also a member of various Facebook and Discord design groups.
Thanks for stopping by. The best way to follow what I’m making, playing and testing is to follow me on Instagram @KevMakesGames.
