Welcome to High Tower Surprise, my board game design learning and sharing website.

Why High Tower Surprise?

I named it that because it’s a famous story beat illuminated by the late, great, Blake Snyder, of Save The Cat! fame, and because in my High Tower Surprise game when you take an opponent’s Tower you win everything in it–it’s always a surprise.

What is High Tower Surprise the website?

This is a place where I share everything I learn about designing, creating, launching and growing a board game and audience.
