Welcome to BoardGamesLand.com, your ultimate destination for discovering the best board games on the market! We’re a passionate team of board game enthusiasts who believe that every game tells a story, and we’re here to share those stories with you.
Our journey into the world of board gaming began much like yours might have—with classics like Monopoly and a curiosity about what else was out there. Little did we know that this curiosity would lead us into the vast and exciting universe of modern board games.
Our Team
Chief in Editor Ivan Ristov is our resident game master and the heartbeat of our group. A gamer since childhood, Ivan even designed his own board game called “Meet the Munchers.” A heavy Euro game enthusiast, he rarely plays party games unless absolutely necessary. With a collection of over 200 games, Ivan loves the thrill of exploring new titles and is always eager to dive into complex strategies.
His younger brother, Goce Ristov, is the engine behind BoardGamesLand.com. An expert in marketing, SEO, and IT, Goce caught the board gaming bug from Ivan and now has a huge collection himself. A deep thinker, he enjoys heavy Euro games but also appreciates classics like Ra and the occasional party game. Goce’s analytical approach keeps our content engaging and insightful.
Angelina Ristova, Goce’s wife, brings dynamic energy to our team. With her expertise in SEO and content editing, she ensures our content not only engages readers but also climbs the search engine ranks. She loves playing heavy games like Ark Nova, but she can’t sit for long hours waiting for players with analysis paralysis. While others deliberate, Angelina is known to multitask—bake some brownies all while keeping an eye on the game.
Our Developer Martin Nonoski adds a dose of humor to our gaming nights. A heavy Euro gamer, Martin loves to joke around the table, especially when he’s with Ivan. The two of them have been known to invent new songs and dances themed around the games while unboxing and adding stickers to meeples. Martin’s favorite games include Underwater Cities, Terraforming Mars, and Ark Nova.
Dina Minkova, our Content Editor, is the Tolkien enthusiast of the group. She weaves Lord of the Rings references into her work as skillfully as she manages our content. Dina’s favorite games include War of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth. Her eye for detail ensures our content is as polished as the One Ring itself.
Our other Content Editor Mirjana Sekulova, is the wordsmith who fine-tunes every article. With a knack for turning good content into great, she’s like a game mechanic perfecting the rules. Mirjana enjoys a wide range of games, from word games like Codenames to strategic epics like Scythe. Her favorite part of game night? The post-game discussions where strategies are dissected.
Vincenzo Antoniani, our Tech Support Manager, is the wizard behind the curtain. When he’s not ensuring our website runs smoother than a well-oiled game night, he’s often found tinkering with digital versions of board games. Vincenzo’s favorite games include Dune and Clank.
Graphic Designer Aleksandar Bosnakov brings our articles to life visually. His illustrations are so captivating, they’ve been known to distract players mid-game. Aleksandar’s game preferences lean towards visually stunning games like Everdell and Wingspan. He’s always eager to incorporate new art styles into his work, inspired by the games he plays.
Our dynamic duo of Content Creators and Social Media Managers, Verica Cholevska and Tijana Sarlamanova, keep our online community buzzing. Tijana is the master of witty tweets and engaging Instagram stories, while Verica excels at fostering discussions on our Facebook page. Together, they’re unbeatable at party games like Just One and Wavelength, bringing that same energy to our social media presence.
Dmitry, a valued writer on our team, brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm. His passion for board gaming ignited when he discovered games beyond the traditional ones like Monopoly. Dmitry loves fantasy, cooperative, and RPG board games, especially those perfect for two or three players. His favorite game, Runewars, remains unmatched in his eyes.
