Meet the Woodestic team
Péter Karcagi
Founder of Woodestic
Peter has a passion for board games that goes beyond just playing them. He enjoys bringing them to life and creating new games from scratch as a developing engineer. Even as a child, he and his younger sisters would spend their summer holidays crafting dozens of board games together.
Years later, as an adult, Peter’s love for board games had not diminished. One day, he came across a wooden board game called Crokinole by “chance” and was blown away by its brilliance.
“I wish I had thought of it myself” he said, “but either way, I want to share it with people who may not know about Crokinole!”
Enikő Karcagi
Co-founder of Woodestic
As you may have guessed, Eniko is Peter’s wife, and they have 3 children together. Eniko shares Peter’s passion for creating handmade items and enjoys crocheting, sewing, painting, decorating, and more.
“Without a moment’s hesitation, I supported my husband’s idea. Crokinole is also dear to my heart, as I witnessed firsthand the transformation of a simple piece of wood into a stunning board game.”
Kata Tóka
Communication and marketing
She handles everything that you see on all Woodestic platforms. From the website to the last piece of a newsletter. You may also talk to her through social media or emails. She is highly dedicated to keeping all of you up to date about Woodestic happenings, helping you out with your questions, and creating the best brand experience right before putting your hands on the actual games. (And yes, she is writing this text about herself talking in 3rd part. :D)
