Connected as Don Lloyd (178 friends)

Hello, my name is Don Lloyd and like many of you out there I have been playing board games since childhood. I started Knight Works back in 2000 with my family and a few close friends and I have been working on game ideas in my spare time ever since. Dark Horse will be our first professionally printed game and we are looking forward to the project being a success.
