About

"Hold'em Havoc is a culmination of a simple dream: to make poker interesting for people who don't want to lose a lot of money." 

- Taran J. E. Harmon-Walker

Hold'em Havoc's designer, Taran, liked Texas Hold'em but felt like it had the potential as the foundation of a truly amazing game about giving away information for power. With the help of his artist brother Gaelan, Taran self-published Hold'em Havoc's first edition. He is now collaborating with more artists and developers to take Havoc to the next level.

Taran is an avid fan of all games, from classic and modern card games to console and PC games to sports (though he's still trying to understand F1). His greatest inspirations for Hold'em Havoc are some of the new classic deckbuilding games, especially Ascension and Star Realms. His favorite part of game development is introducing his games to players and watching them quickly become much better than he is.
