Mac Gerdts (or Walther Gerdts) is the designer of German-style board games such as Imperial, Antike and Hamburgum. His games introduced the concept of a rondel rather than dice as a mechanism for play.

Hamburgum, released in 2007, is a game in which the object is to trade goods and make prestigious church donations. The spaces on the rondel are Church, Trade, Cloth, Guildhall, Beer, Dockyard, and Sugar.
