<p>Designer <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/144/jacques-zeimet">Jacques Zeimet</a>, best known for the games <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11971" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>Cockroach Poker</em></strong></a> and <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/83195" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>Ghost Blitz</em></strong></a>, has passed away.</p><p>All that's known publicly about Monsieur Zeimet is that he was from Luxembourg. An editor at <a href="https://www.zoch-verlag.com" rel="noreferrer">Zoch Verlag</a> — which published one of his first designs, <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/293" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>Bamboleo</em></strong></a>, in 1996 — tells me that he preferred not to have his picture or bio on game boxes as he didn't want to be a public person. That said, he has shared his creations with us for three decades, so perhaps you can put <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/903" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>Hamster Roll</em></strong></a>, <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/206939" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>Do De Li Do</em></strong></a>, or <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/186302" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>The Nasty 7</em></strong></a> — which is due out in a new edition in 2026 — on the table and enjoy his legacy through play.</p>
