American game designer

Edi Ersalesi Birsan (also known as Ed Birsan) is a former Concord City councilmember (who also served as mayor and vice-mayor), a game designer, an independent business owner in the maritime container inspection industry, and one of the best-known American players of the game Diplomacy. He was born in Brooklyn in 1949, but has resided in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1981. Birsan is married and has two children.

Political career

In 2012, Birsan was elected to his first term for one of two open seats on the city council of Concord, California, and was re-elected in 2016 and 2020. In 2021, Birsan ran for Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors for the District 4 seat unsuccessfully. Edi Birsan was unseated from the Concord City Council after narrowly losing his re-election bid in 2024.

Birsan voted in favor of Concord First Partners leading the Concord Naval Weapons Project, a housing and commercial development on a formal naval base. There was opposition from the public due in part to the selection of the Seeno/Discovery Builders company, described by Claycord News' Tony Hicks as having a "history of running afoul of environmental laws, having been fined millions of dollars over the years for destroying wildlife habitat while developing projects in East Contra Costa County."
