Designer: Friedemann Friese

Friedemann Friese brings his signature green-themed, brain-burning design philosophy to every project, with Maybe.Not.Perfect exemplifying his knack for elegant mechanisms that reveal surprising depth. Known for complex economic systems and network-building puzzles found in titles like Power Grid and Faiyum, Friese consistently challenges players to optimize routes, manage scarcity, and think several turns ahead while maintaining accessible rules frameworks.

His games suit experienced hobbyists who appreciate tight decision spaces where every choice matters, typically playing best with 3-4 analytical thinkers willing to engage deeply with interconnected systems. Expect medium-weight euros that reward planning and adaptation rather than luck, often featuring unconventional themes or clever twists on familiar mechanisms that keep veteran gamers coming back for multiple plays.
