Hal Richman speaks at SOM opening day 2012. Take a look.

Although many of us have played SOM for years and have immensely enjoyed the games, we've never met Hal Richman, the game creator and SOM founder. Hal has always remained in the background, shunning the spotlight and letting the focus be on his marvelous games.

Below is a video of Hal making some impromptu remarks to the assembled crowd of Strat-o-matic fanatics on opening day, February 10, 2012.

Also, below is an interview with Gene Abood, the first person in line on opening day, 2012.

Enjoy!

A cease-and-desist order?

Have met Hal a couple of times, very nice man. I have also met Gene Abood, having played in a Strat tournament with him.
