About Me
I’m a professional Actor, Writer, and Filmmaker who LOVES Board Games
Lincoln Hoppe
I am a working Film and Television actor based in Los Angeles, CA.
My original social media channels @LincolnHoppe have seen billions of VIEWS, hundreds of millions of LIKES, and buttloads of SHARES.
My Board Game Mission
My mission to share my love of Board Games with the world.
I have 2 target audiences:
1. To people who already love Board Games
2. To people who don’t yet know they love Board Games.
For most Games, we focus on getting the word out to people who already love Board Games. It’s focused, targeted, and effective.
But some Games ALSO need to be shared with a larger audience. This all depends on your needs.
Either way, I can help.

Lincoln is the perfect board game enthusiast if you want a review or preview! Lincoln directs his enthusiasm, love for games and camera experience into a good review and video! I fully recommend Lincoln!
Master Hoppe shares our mischievous passion for the “bit different” in gaming. Top bloke, top game reviewer, and through our self-appointed power, we anoint him an honorary Brit for his services to game reviewing. We doff our caps and twirl our UK cloaks in his general direction
Lincoln is our absolute favorite board game influencer! He was one of the first people to identify the unique experience we were attempting and was able to articulate it to others extremely well. His brand videos were loaded with creativity and humor, so much that we used his material and quotes extensively in our marketing. You feel his enthusiasm and passion for both the gaming world and their creators every time you see him. I would absolutely work with Lincoln again, and recommend him to all my colleagues.
Lincoln is a ray of comedic sunshine with such a unique flavor on humor. His love for board games is reflected in his insane quality of media he portrays in his photos and videos. His skits are a breath of fresh air in the board game space”

Why do i do it?
It is my mission to share the love of Board Games with the world.
1. To people who already love board games
2. To people who don’t know they love board games yet.
Both as a hobby, and with SPECIFIC Games.
On-Camera Charisma
Being on camera is my job! I’m a full-time Actor and Filmmaker in Los Angeles, CA. I bring my filmmaking skills and ability to communicate emotionally to board gamers.
Filmmaking Skills
I use my gear and skills for not only making films in Hollywood, but for spreading the love of Board Games. My cameras, lenses, lights, backgrounds, and gear are available to get the word out about games.
Social Connection
Board Games help us connect to each other; in person at the table with friends and family, and through the magic of media we can connect with like-minded people.
Social Media Savvy
I have over 1 million followers across social media platforms as an actor and comedian. It’s time to use that influence for board games.
Celebrity Status
As an actor in Hollywood I’ve appeared in over 100 movies and TV shows. A lot more if you count commercials. There’s something familiar about my face, that they feel they can trust. Even if they can’t remember what they know me from.
Spreading the Love
Board Games (and card games, of course) must be shared with the world. They have made me and my family SO HAPPY and I want others to share that love. Whether it be a specific game to board gamers, or the love of the hobby to newcomers.
What i avoid
Young Kids Games
If it’s not recommended for teens and up, I’m not that interested. My youngest child (of 5) is now 16 years old, which means I don’t have young kids to play with anymore.
Very Long Games
If it’s under 3 hours, I’m in. If your game typically lasts over 3 hours, it’s much harder for me to want to play and recommend. There are exceptions, but as a general rule, I prefer games 2-3 hours and under. Campaign games are great, just as long as each session is under 3 hours.
Games with Poor Art
I’m very easily charmed by good Art and Graphic Design in games. So I’m also naturally biased against bad, cheap, or uninspiring Art. It is understood that PROTOTYPE ART may be temporary, and is not a problem.
Mean People
Sorry. I’m human. I don’t enjoy working with mean people. Life is too short.
Mean Reviews
I prefer to find the POSITIVE in your game. Even if there’s an element of your game I don’t enjoy which I feel needs to be pointed out, I’m not mean about it.
Games that Don't Interest Me
If I’m not interested in the theme, mechanics, or any part of your game on first glance, I’d prefer to not review it. This helps me keep things positive. However, my first impressions upon seeing a game are not always right! So I’m happy to discuss.
