Juma, CEO

Chief Entertainment Officer

Hey, I’m Juma 👋 — founder of Karma Games and the main mind behind our designs. For a long time, I did pretty much everything myself: designing, developing, running the business, and even dealing with shipping containers full of games. These days, with a small but growing team, I focus on what I love most: shaping new game ideas, guiding development, and keeping the whole thing running smoothly.

Favorite Games

Through the Ages, 7 Wonders Duel, The Resistance: Avalon

Hobbies & Passions
Outside of board games, I love bouldering 🧗, playing piano 🎹, singing 🎶, and hiking in the mountains ⛰️. I’m also pretty serious about healthy living: I’m vegan, don’t drink, don’t smoke, and don’t do drugs so I have more energy for my passions.

Stefan, CTO

Chief Ticket Officer

Hey, I’m Stefan 🙂 — coder, founder, and rock climbing enthusiast. Before joining Karma, I founded a company in the content management systems space, so building things from the ground up is in my DNA. I’m also the person behind brdgm.me, where I’ve created countless solo helper apps for board games.

At Karma Games, I bring that same passion for building and organizing: I love keeping our project management system tidy and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Favorite Games

Clans of Caledonia, On Mars, SETI

Hobbies & Passions
When I’m not coding or organizing workflows, you’ll likely find me rock climbing 🧗, tinkering with new ideas, or diving into solo board games.

Chris, COO

Chief Omnipresence Officer

Hello everybody, I’m Chris. 😀 American ex-pat in Berlin and Karma’s resident native-english speaker. My relationship with Juma started online 8 years ago over my love for Clans of Caledonia. I jumped at every new expansion idea that Juma posted for testing, and today those early trials have become Industria, an amazing expansion to an amazing game. Since joining Karma Games, I hope to allow Juma more time in the creative space, even if now I have to be the one dealing with shipping containers full of games.

Favorite non-Scottish-games include

Feudum, Scythe, Terraforming Mars with Turmoil

There are three things I do in life: play games (boardgames and RPG) 🧙‍♂️, enjoy TV/movies 🍿, and ultimate frisbee 🥏. And now I’m starting to learn German 📕. That’s four things. That’s growth.

Julius, CIO

Chief Interims Officer

Hello there, I’m Julius . I’m currently an intern at Karma Games. I study Communication Design, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about how things look, feel, and—most importantly to me—how they work. Here at Karma Games, I like to assist wherever I can, but my favorite thing is to make game interfaces as playable as possible. For me, the best designs are the ones that are functional and highly intuitive.

Favorite Games

Ankh, Dominion, Dune: Imperium

Hobbies & passions

I love movies , TCGs, running and being on my bicycle . You’ll never find me do any sports, where I can’t move around fast.

Jasper, CSO

Chief Scouting Officer

Hi I’m Jasper! I’ve seen Karma Games grow from the time Juma was working on his very first board game during our university years in The Netherlands, our first time with a booth in Essen, into a company with a team working on several titles simultaneously. This now allows me to focus on analysing and testing prototypes to find the ones that are the best fit for Karma Games.

Favorite Games

Chess, Hanabi, Tzolk’in

I’m passionate about food and cooking, growing my own herbs and berries. I’m enthusiastic about sports and especially love more obscure ones like curling, padel and wheelchair basketball.
