As a gamer, his love for board & card game began a child playing with his siblings & friends. In 2009, the discovery of modern games took to him by surprise as he found an unopened copy of The Settlers of Catan at a local garage sale. Having the opportunity to make profit by selling it online, Capitulo decided to keep the game because it sounded as fun as Monopoly. This started an awareness and a new love for modern board games. Capitulo still plays Catan today.
