Game Changer Book Entertaining.

 Game Changer, written by Rob Angel, an Eastern Washington native who, like me, has transplanted to the Seattle area.  As I have mentioned, Rob and I crossed paths at Camp Solomon Schechter in 1971.  Angel is the creater of one of the most impactful board game developments in the last half century, Pictionary.   While many successful games were probably created by development teams out of corporations, Pictionary was developed by Rob and his buddies having a  great time over beers.

With a great memory for detail, Rob takes you through the genesis of his creation, how he dared to dream big and follow up with pennies to his name and a heart full of hustle.  Full of victories and set backs, it's another example, and I know this is cliché, that truth could be can be more incredible than fiction.  

With his able team of friends and a few connections along the way, Angel has gone from living from living in a ratty apartment and a car running on a wing and a prayer to game changer mogul. Yet, he still found time to answer my personal message.  

If you enjoy the game, Pictionary or just a personal success story, I would recommend Game Changer.
