Designer and Artist

Martin Wallace

Martin Wallace was born in the UK in 1962. He started designing games in the early 1990s and now has over seventy titles to his name. He now resides in New Zealand with his wife, Julia, and a number of cats.

Judging by his wobbly walk and freakish height, some people advanced the theory that there might actually be TWO illustrators hidden under its coat, one on top of the other*. When asked about it, Mr. Cuddington denied vehemently the allegation, calling the whole thing “just plain ridiculous”. Still, he often refers to himself by both the female and male gender, which is all rather confusing.

*Rumor has it it would actually be David Forest and Lina Cossette, but don’t believe everything you hear…

Joe Shawcross is no stranger to APE Games, having done the whimsical art for Plunderbund. A big thanks to Joe for stepping in to help with Chaos Cove!
