Marcus Skillern

I’m an independent UK board game designer currently developing and promoting my first title, Bee Friendly — a fast-paced family tile-laying game focused on building colourful bee-friendly gardens.

I wanted my design to be of an approachable games that are easy to learn and enjoyable for both hobby gamers and families. My work focuses on creating engaging table experience with simple rules, meaningful decisions, and strong visual appeal.

Over the past year I have been actively playtesting Bee Friendly at local groups, conventions, and public events, while building connections with reviewers, and fellow designers within the board game community. I enjoy collaborating with others throughout the design process and value feedback-driven development to refine gameplay and presentation.

I’m currently seeking opportunities to connect with publishers.
