Hello, I am the inventor of the game of Die Dolmengötter. Although I have been dealing with the development of games more or less intensely since 2001, this is my first game publication. Almost 2 years ago, I got the idea. In numerous playing test rounds, the game principle was refined more and more. In terms of the development of games, I attach great importance to a special, smart, and innovative mechanism, causing a certain "light bulb effect" when a player gets to know the game. I consider that more important and interesting than "new great" games that are just put together from well known mechanisms. So I think that a good game does not have to take more than half an hour.
My own release date was 1972. After several moves, I settled down in beautiful Rodenkirchen, a district of Cologne, with my girlfriend and our son. As compensation for playing, I go jogging once in a while, play soccer, travel a lot and love to enjoy a delectable wine or a nice Kölsch (beer).

By the way, since the end of 2004, there have been meetings for game inventors from the Rhineland, for which I was a co-initiator, taking place regularly in Cologne. Anyone interested in an exchange of experiences, prototype testing, and in sharing the development of new ideas, is very welcome to get in touch with me.

Any questions? thomas.odenhoven@eggertspiele.de
