Moon has worked as a game designer for Avalon Hill, Parker Brothers, and Ravensburger F.X. Schmid USA.[1] His first published game was Black Spy (Avalon Hill, 1981), inspired by the classic card game, Hearts.[1] But his first game that got him attention was Airlines, published by the German company Abacus in 1990.[1] He started his own publishing company, White Wind in 1990 and ran it until 1997.[1] He now publishes his games through other companies, such as Ravensburger and Days of Wonder.
Since 2000, Moon has been a full-time freelance game designer, with dozens of games to his credit.[1] Moon has won the Spiel des Jahres award twice, for Elfenland in 1998 and for Ticket to Ride in 2004; Ticket to Ride has won almost two dozen other awards worldwide.[1]
