Designer
FRITZ BRONNER has been designing games since the early 1980s. He has designed several critically acclaimed space games and is a respected authority on the space race era.

The Rocket Engine of Game Design
All of his space games are designed with unique play mechanics that simulate technology, research & development tested against critical stages during spaceflight; resulting in very realistic results due to a sophisticated Failure Mode Analysis System. LIFTOFF! 2.0 has been refined and modified extensively over the last 4 years with updated data and statistical analysis based on real-world space programs.
Fritz has been a keynote speaker on game design and spoken at The Air Force Command Staff College on simulating technology growth for war-gaming and intelligence assessment.
