elizabeth hargrave

Elizabeth Hargrave is a board game designer inspired by a love of nature and a desire to play games that break away from tried-and-true themes.

Her first game, Wingspan, won the 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres. Since then her games have explored systems including monarch butterfly migration (Mariposas), fox domestication (The Fox Experiment), and mycorrhizal trading relationships (Undergrove).

When she's not gaming, you'll often find her hiking, birding, or collecting mushrooms in and around Washington, DC.
