AboutAsger Harding Granerud
Asger is very much a traditional gamer. Started as a card gamer around age 6, and picked up chess a couple years later. Then came Magic the Gathering, which again was displaced by 15 years of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. In fact he is a former Fantasy world champion with the Danish national team!
He grew up in Mozambique and Denmark, and after high school was finished got a job at Games Workshop HQ in England, hoping to become a game designer. That didn’t work out, so he returned to Copenhagen and spent the following years doing a masters degree in public administration and development studies.
Post university he eventually founded and ran a boardgame distributor with around two thousand titles available, and also co-founded a boardgame retail shop in Copenhagen. In February 2018 he left it all behind and focussed full time on game design. If not playing games you might find him at the closest climbing gym, where he also happened to meet his codesigner Daniel.
