Martin Wallace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Wallace is a game designer from Manchester, England. He is the founder and chief designer of Warfrog Games. Wallace is known for designing complex strategy games that depict a variety of historical settings. Two themes he has frequently used are the construction and operation of railroads, and the rise and fall of ancient civilizations. He has developed a reputation for blending elegant European style game mechanics with the strong themes that are more typical of American style games.[1] Many of his games feature economic systems, incorporating rules for income, taxation, and debt.
Martin Wallace's most popular game, Age of Steam, was the winner of the 2003 International Gamers Award,[2] and is one of the top ten rated games on BoardGameGeek.
