About Us
The bare bones of the card game Seven! were first designed by
Julian Stewart and Jarn La Rooij, both Kiwis, in around
2009. The first pack was drawn with a pen on blank business cards
and was play tested with friends and girlfriends as the months went by.
A LOT of people helped with the play testing and giving their
feedback. The next step was testing the game on complete strangers, who
were all asked to play the game and then fill out an anonymous
survey online to give brutally honest feedback.
Some of the feedback received was indeed brutal so they
made some more adjustments before self-publishing the game
for the first time in 2011.
In December 2011, Seven! received the 'Major Fun Award', an
award given by a group of game testers based in Indiana, USA,
to games that are found to be 'major fun'.
Both Julian and Jarn are from Christchurch, in the South Island
of New Zealand. They are good mates and went to school together
back in the old days.
Julian is working on his new startup PocketParty.app which is well worth checking out.
Jarn’s main goal is taking Seven! to the next level. His other goals include learning Spanish and saving up for his first house.
