I specialise in indoor games (board games, card games, word games, etc) as a freelance inventor, writer and consultant. Sometimes I even get round to playing them.

My books include The Penguin Encyclopedia of Card Games, Teach Yourself Card Games, the Oxford History of Board Games, and the Oxford History of Card Games.

BIO
Brody Condon is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles. His current interest is the reverse engineering and exploitation of 3D game development technology. Brody attempts to locate, or fabricate situations and visual works where computer games and game culture leak outside of the box and into our lived experience. He is currently working with the collaborative /C-Level/ on a series of 3D games based on "alternative utopias and apocalyptic moments."
Upcoming exhibitions include the Whitney Biennial 2004(with Anne-Marie Schleiner and Joan Leandre) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

STATEMENT
My life is a vast ghetto littered with neotolkien elves, eight-barrel rocket launchers, endless hordes of faceless muscle-bound goons, armor-cum-lingerie, the seven artifacts of the evil overlord, a billion overacted cut scenes, terrorists-du-jour, neogeiger aliens, hovertanks, troglodytes, vampires, and +7 potions of healing; all set in a neo-post-industrial steam-cyberpunk castle with teleportals and elevators and platform puzzles in every room. There I am an undercover half-ogre sorcerer carrying a vorpal six-barrel chain gun while riding a Harley into the roman coliseum to battle a cyborg lion controlled by a ghost emperor, which is actually a time traveling nanobot AI, battling for domination over a fictional kingdom that exists only in the minds of mutant Siamese twins.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Performance Studies with a designated emphasis in New Media Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. I'm also a member of UC Berkeley's Alpha Lab in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research and a resident game designer for the Berkeley Institute of Design.
Outside of academia, I am an active game designer (high-tech, low-tech, and no-tech), currently with 42 Entertainment (named Most Enterprising New Business in the 2005 Best of the Bay). I specialize in massively-collaborative game models and games that are played in everyday public spaces. Some of them have won awards (I Love Bees won the 2005 Innovation Award from the International Game Developers Association, the 2005 Games-related Webby Award, and was honored by the New York Times' 2004 Year in Review. The Go Game was named "Best Way to Rediscover Your City" in 2002.)
