We Couldn't find what we wanted!

We all enjoy board games and were looking for good games for a large group to play together

A good game had to: 

  • Get everyone interacting with each other
  • Accommodate 20 + players
  • Be simple and fast to learn
  • But also strategic and subtle
  • Allow people to play at their own pace

We couldn’t find any we felt were good enough, so we started from scratch and launched MeetMax Games to create a totally new form of corporate entertainment.

 

 

The Team

Rikki Tahta

Games Design (and playing)

Rikki Tahta is one of the partners of MeetMax and an addicted board game player.  He has designed popular board and card games over the last 10 years and is in a constant battle with his wife about how much shelf-space can be allocated to games at home.   Rikki believes the most fun games are where the core interaction is between the players and not against a computer.

James Rightmyer Jr

Games Design (and testing) 

When James isn't designing, playing and organizing games, he runs an Off-Broadway Shakespearean Theater Company and is a closet techie constantly tinkering with our back end systems.  James is a believer in endless rehearsals to make sure an event runs seamlessly and is not afraid of standing up in front of a crowd and making a big fool of himself.

Juan Alvarez

Architecture (and making it all work)

Juan heads up the tech team, and has to field the endless requests for bells and whistles.  Before building a gaming platform Juan was engineering equity trading systems.  A great believer in saying NO, Juan makes sure that what comes out is simple, fast and works, and that the tech doesn't get in the way of everyone enjoying the game.
