By day, Haoran writes code. By night, Haoran writes about board games. And plays board games, too.
Haoran got his start writing about games for Kotaku Australia thanks to the tireless Alex Walker.
Some highlights:
- Welcome to Seafall, where you destroy what you love (31st October, 2016)
- Glory to Rome: The $360 Board Game You’ll Never Play, but Should (17th August, 2017)
- Battle Line: How to Bring Back a Board Game with Love (4th October, 2017), featuring Roland MacDonald.
- A Life Lived Through Mahjong, or, Adventures from East to West and back again (26th December, 2017), a story about my grandmother, and how gaming runs in our family.
He’s also been written other things elsewhere, including for Popsugar, Byrdie, Lifehacker, and Business Insider Australia.
Haoran’s local gaming group is Ticket to Ryde, which meets on Wednesday nights in West Ryde Hotel.
