About WAMWAM Games
WAMWAM Games is a game developer and publisher based in the St Louis Missouri region and founded with the mission to bring fun educational board games and mobile game versions of those games to the masses. Founded by brothers Jake and Phill Wamser, WAMWAM games is an organization founded by gamers, and is designed to bring more gamers into the fold.
We started WAMWAM games on a car ride home after a trip to GENCON. We were blown away by the creativity, generosity, and friendliness of the designers, publishers, and players and we both realized this was an industry we wanted to be involved in.
We immediately began thinking about the kind of games we would want to design and then started to develop our first games.
Company Leadership
Jakob Wamser - Founder/CEO/President - Jakob started his game design career at age 4 developing alternative versions of common board games to add skill, creativity and destruction to games. He began his career in the payments industry, becoming an industry leader and consultant for many of the top prepaid companies today. Today he designs games while leading WAMWAM’s overarching strategy and sales.
Phillip Wamser - Founder/Chief Game Developer - Phill fell in love with games at an early age, mostly thanks to a family that encouraged critical thought, creative strategy, and healthy competition. Game design started for him in college, writing house rules to countless popular board games, constantly thinking “this game is fun but wouldn’t it be better if?” Since leaving school Phill has spent the last decade working in youth programming where he uses his love for making games to create learning opportunities hidden in shared fun, firmly believing that more can be learned through fun and laughter than could ever be taught at a desk.
