DeLiberato Brothers Launch New Game Company with Breakers

Earlier this year, while casually attending the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Lauren Betz Dunbar and Lindsey Greene (both class of 2006), unexpectedly saw two familiar faces. Brush High graduates Brandon DeLiberato (Class of 2003) and Sam DeLiberato (Class of 2006) were vendors at the fair. The DeLiberato brothers have taken their lifelong love of games and turned it into something larger. Both doctors by profession, the brothers recently co-founded Lightning Lake Games with a close friend, and their debut title, Breakers, launched with a Kickstarter campaign on September 2, 2025.

While Brandon grew up immersed in games like Magic: The Gathering, Sam discovered tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons as an adult, igniting a passion that quickly became a shared creative pursuit. That love of gaming and storytelling led the brothers to launch their own company with one goal: craft unique and engaging games that bring people together.

Their first game, Breakers, is a monster-hunting, trick-taking game that blends classic card play with a high-fantasy theme. Players compete to take down powerful monsters using suits like Melee, Ranged, Traps, and Magic, balancing risk, timing, and clever plays in every hand.

Lindsey Greene, Lauren Betz Dunbar, and Sam DeLiberato, all from the class of 2006.
