About Us

Dan Yarrington

I am Dan Yarrington, Tabletop Tycoon, Pinball Tycoon, father, brother, husband, gamer, adventurer, and explorer. As the founder, CEO, and resident of our organization, I have envisioned a specific kind of company and a way of working. Understanding who I am might help to understand why I have built the company the way I have.

Dan Yarrington

Who Am I?

I am: passionate, fast-paced, diligent, brash, dedicated, generous, brilliant, clueless, confident, overconfident, oblivious, arrogant, right (sometimes), wrong (often), precise, driven, collaborative, helpful, demanding, dedicated, inspiring, difficult, innovative, entrepreneurial, relentless, exhausting, respectful, challenging, responsible, eager, quick, creative, strategic, tactical, voracious, loquacious, and frustrating. I am all of these born from a caring about people and purpose.

I choose to spend that time creating great products that help bring joyful experiences to people's lives. The song from Hamilton that best describes me is “Non-Stop”. My favorite Muppet is Fozzie Bear. Wokka wokka wokka!

I've dedicated my life to getting things done. For myself, for my family, for my friends, for my peers, for the world. As Gandalf says, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

My favorite movie is The Princess Bride and it sums up my sensibilities in a marvelous way. Anyone else who thinks differently is absolutely, totally, and in all other ways, inconceivable!

My favorite TV show is Doctor Who and I'm always up for adventuring through time and space. This description is intended to give you an insight into who I am and what it's like to work with me. I am a very particular human being. Not everyone thrives working with me. I'm looking to find folks who are energized by my personality.

From this effervescent and enervating personality derive our core values. These are not pretty thoughts or ideas. These are non-negotiable to who I am. These are ways of thinking and being that every member of the organization needs to believe and strive toward, each and every day.
