Hello all, my name is Lawrencelot and I thought I'd join here after having joined thegamecrafter a while ago. I have recently graduated in applied mathematics and am now doing my PHD in Delft University of Technology.
Although I have many hobbies, tabletop games are definitely a big one for me. I recently designed my first game in a challenge on thegamecrafter: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/apocalypse-frenzy
I now plan to join more of these challenges and of course also the game design showdowns. I try to implement stuff I encounter in mathematics in games, although I also like the chaotic silly randomness type of games like Fluxx and Munchkin, or my own game which I linked above. The idea I submitted to the latest game design showdown, and the idea I have for the current contest on thegamecrafter, are both inspired by mathematics. When those contests are over, be sure to ask me what the 'mathy part' is if you're interested.
