Dave Yearick and his son, Rudiger Yearick, have invented multiple games together as founders of The Good Game Company. They shared their enthusiasm and goals with Fox News Digital.

One father-son duo knows how to mix work and play. Dave Yearick and his son Rudiger Yearick of South Carolina are founders of The Good Game Company, a creator and publisher of various board games. The Good Game Company just released its 20th game, "Big Foot vs. Yeti Splat Attack," which is available for purchase at Target.

Before this big-time presence on store shelves, game-making began as a small hobby for dad Dave Yearick. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dave Yearick, who is originally from upstate New York, shared how he created his first game with his friends in the early 1990s as a college student at Colgate University. "It was my side hustle," he said. "But it basically became my full-time job.

The duo's newest game was inspired by Hasbro’s "Hungry-Hungry Hippos," he revealed, with its fast-paced and "silly" nature of "launching and catching things." "We’re really excited about it," he said. Rudiger Yearick said he’s been immersed in the board game creation process for his entire life. "I’ve enjoyed seeing the process from the idea all the way through the final product," he said. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxbusiness.
