Growing up in a bustling port city, Soma was captivated by tales of distant beaches and the mysteries of numbers. With a parent who was a math teacher and another who worked as a travel guide, Soma inherited a passion for global adventures and puzzles alike. After winning a math competition that included challenges from around the world, Soma spent their teen years volunteering at community centers, teaching math through games and stories. Inspired by a desire to unite Soma’s twin loves of mathematics and world cultures, the idea for Mathopoly was born. Soma now traverses the ultimate international game board, spreading the joy of math and the wonders of tropical travel in a colorful, playful style.
