Gamer Lee Gaddis Featured In MetroTimes Article
Lee Gaddis, founder of Gaddis Gaming, has been featured in an article in Metro Times. Gaddis Gaming makes Tabletoppers, a line of miniatures and a boardgame called “G.U.A.R.D.S.
What makes Gaddis Gaming unusual — and what got it featured in the article — is that the company is a cooperative which focuses on building wealth among residents of Detroit. After serving an apprenticeship, the workers have a voice in running the company.
“My commitment to building wealth in the community is being able to show people another way that businesses don’t have to be ‘you work your fingers to the bone and all the money goes to the CEO,'” says Gaddis. “That doesn’t have to be the way corporations are structured. There’s no reason for that at all except for greed.”
Worker cooperatives, like Gaddis Gaming, run on the idea that within any moneymaking venture “my success is tied to your success.”
“If we redistribute wealth to the people creating the wealth in the society, that allows us to then raise the standard of living for everybody,” says Gaddis.

Gaddis Gaming TableTopper 2.0 launches on Kickstarter
The fantasy of turning any surface into a proper gaming table has haunted game players for decades, with many trying and few succeeding to fill that niche in the marketplace. Enter: Gaddis Gaming and the much-improved version 2.0 of its much talked-about TableTopper.
First we should note that the TableTopper is not a table, we assume you already own one. It is a topper – lightweight and portable – that can easily turn your unsatisfactory table into a gaming surface that is just the right size for any game you are playing. It’s expandable and retractable, so one purchase allows you the versatility of a 4’x4’ or 4’x6’ play area. It’s modular, making it easy to transport and store or to increase the length to 8’ or 10’, if you are so inclined. And it is customizable with an assortment of colors and finishes, logos and designs to decorate the sturdy Out-Of-Play areas.
The best news of all is that the Gaddis Gaming TableTopper is currently available on Kickstarter at a special low price. Check it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/
