Creating an educational and fun tasting game for wine drinkers of all levels requires a lot of passion, knowledge, and some trial and error. Pair the brilliant idea with a successful Kickstarter campaign, and you've got Sommify™. When I was approached by Jessica and Conner, Sommify™ co-creators, to design the official, sellable product, the mechanics of the game had been worked through but needed finessing.

In order to film a promotional commercial and for the game to be sale ready by the 2020 holiday season, it was my task in the summer of 2020 to get the board completed, printed, and have a final product film-ready in a matter of two and a half weeks. I was handed the working prototype, completely revamped the look, and we made the filming deadline. The product went into production weeks later and, to date, Sommify™ has taken off with 3,000 units sold within the first year.

Board Game Testing

The boards below are few of the examples designed by the two original creators, Conner and Jessica put together to test game mechanics.

Within the first year of production, Sommify™ has been featured in the numerous online news and trend sites listed below. A huge THANK YOU goes out to all who helped test and tweak the game (see drink with us!) as well as those who pledged to the Kickstarter campaign. Your support has been truly overwhelming.
