Vera Devera
General Manager
Hi, I’m Vera — Tabletop Library's General Manager. Like many, I grew up on Monopoly and Scrabble and had no idea how deep the world of board games could go. That changed in 2014, when a friend introduced me to Dominion and opened a door I haven’t closed since.
My personal collection leans toward deep, strategic euros like SETI, Castles of Burgundy, and Lisboa to more interactive euros like Dune Imperium and Dominant Species. But I'm am omni gamer and try everything from dexterity games, tricktaking games from Japan, and more! My other passion are tabletop roleplaying games and immersive storytelling, ask me about D&D and Mothership.
Outside of work, you'll find me bringing people together, from hiking in Sonoma to road biking on the Bay Trail, or going to a show (live theater, music, or comedy).
