I live in the beautiful city of Haifa in the northern part of Israel together with my husband and four kids.

Why I am a game author:

When our forth child was born, I just entered the world of digital photography. When I looked for a Lotto game for her I realized that I do not find any version I like, so I produced one: a Lotto game with pictures of her favorite things. Naturally – she enjoyed this game. I continued inventing new games for her, met people that invented games and people that just liked to play, and learned a lot. One day I realized that actually others can also enjoy the games I make. I looked for someone to illustrate the games, and was very lucky to find the remarkable Ari Ron. So now we enjoy developing games together.

My favourite games:

The first card game I’ve played as a child is called “War”. I liked it a lot, because even as a small child I could win this game, a very satisfactory experience. When I grew older, I enjoyed a little more complicated games, such as "Rummy". Winning these games was even more enjoyable, and if I lost, well, this must have been because I got lousy cards…

Now I know that “War” is a pure chance game, and “Rummy” is a chance and skill game. This is now the kind of games I like most: easy to play while chatting around, with a little bit of luck, a little bit of skill, and a lot of fun.
