Game designer, entrepreneur, visionary: Dominic’s guide to purpose-fueled growth

Dominic Crapuchettes founded North Star Games in 2003 after several near death experiences as the captain of an Alaskan boat. His designs, which include Evolution, Oceans, Say Anything, and Wits & Wagers, have sold nearly 5 million copies and won countless awards. For the past five years, Dominic has been working on an enormous project: a modular game system called Nature that makes Evolution more accessible and easily expandable. 

We sat down to talk about his unique definition of courage and how it has helped him rebuild a beloved company.

Creative leadership hits home in this conversation.
