A long time board game nerd, Leonie spent a few years working at tech start-ups across Berlin (Airbnb) and San Francisco (Shef) before starting to design her first game, Biome.  A few weeks later in January 2023, Leonie decided to take the leap and founded Lioness Games.

Protecting biodiversity has been an issue close to her heart since she was eight years old, when she learned about humans’ impact on wildlife, which causes 10,000 species to go extinct every year. 

Lioness Games is an independent board game publisher committed to designing unique games that serve to spark joy, facilitate connection, foster strategic thinking and to drive wonder among players.
