Alvaro Erize

I started wargaming when I was 8 and started my first business venture at 16, establishing an importation company of comic books and games into Argentina, with its own FLGS in Buenos Aires.

Business life took me elsewhere. Establishing and operating a Toyota supplier autoparts factory at 25 and then coming into the USA at 29 for my MBA at Stanford. After business school I worked in consulting and private equity before becoming the CEO of a growing software company with an amazing (and gaming) team of over 200 people.

But my passion for wargaming and game design has never diminished, and this has led me and my brother, Francisco, to found Fighting Hedgehog. A small but focused publishing company dedicated to the development of a great, durable and adaptable game system: CLASH.

Our goal is to provide and continuously develop a lasting game system, supported by an active and growing community. The response we have had in our almost two years of playtesting the system, and the great partnerships we have developed with companies like Victrix, have turned CLASH into a real movement. A movement that we now turn to kickstarter to literally kickstart CLASH into a widespread game, played around the world and constantly improved for years to come!
