Braunlich and Rollie Tesh were world champions of Pente, a game originally published by Parker Brothers, and later by Decipher. In 1993, Braunlich and Tesh came to Decipher with their idea for a licensed collectible card game, the result of which was the Star Trek: The Next Generation Customizable Card Game (1994).
Tom Braunlich worked for Decipher. He helped create the Star Wars Customizable Card Game which was Decipher's most successful (money) CCG and their second most successful (longevity) game. He is currently retired and resides in Virginia.
