It began with a university spaghetti-bridge challenge, and a late-night experiment with a deck of cards pushed to the edge of a table: how far can you extend them before everything topples? That question became How Brave is Mave?, a construction and balancing game played off the table edge, created together with Jonathan Silberberg.

Meet Mave, a brave and hungry goat. Players place building cards to create a grazing path for him, while trying to outmaneuver their opponents along the way. But the farther Mave wanders, the more rickety the path becomes. It's nerve-racking, card-balancing, goat-saving mayhem.

Designed to develop fine motor skills and strategic planning, the game is built for the whole family.

Our team handled the complete design scope across four game versions and two design generations: game development, industrial design and design engineering of the 3D pieces, character design and illustration, graphic design, branding, packaging, manufacturing follow-up and the Kickstarter campaign. AI tools were integrated into our design process to enhance visual development and streamline iteration.

The Kickstarter campaign raised more than three times its goal and was selected as a "Project We Love." The game has since won recognition in the tabletop world, including the Clamour ICL 2025 Favorite Seal, FamilyFun Sparks Choice and Parents Pick.
