Toys - Games with no Game Instructions
The activity of toys and games is stimulated by imagination. While toys offer a free ride with no particular destination, games direct us to a specific goal. Toys are games that come with no rules and encourage the player to invent his own. Designing a good toy is designing an exciting 'studio' for a young 'game inventor'.
Biography
After two years as a mechanical engineer, I was drawn to the magic of toys and in 1978 I started my journey in the toy industry as a designer of wooden toys. Later I shifted my interest to games, focusing on family games which appeal to all ages. Through the years I have developed over 100 games which are sold in 32 countries. Some of my most famous games are Taki and Halli Galli.
