Event Details

Myself

​Game Market West is a tabletop game market where independent designers show off and sell their newest tabletop games. Featuring 35+ designers and specialty vendors, this is one of the biggest indie game markets in the country! We were also on ABC7 News.

​Free and open to the public to attend.

​List of games available for reservation and purchase in-person are coming soon.

  • ​Browse and Buy – dozens of super creative limited-run games.

  • ​Enjoy the GMW Play Zone – a casual table area where you can play your purchased games immediately and play drop-in sessions of other locally made games.

  • ​Learn How Games are Made – Meet local designers and chat with our friendly volunteers. We’re happy to share our knowledge about game making and working in the industry.

  • ​Hangout Afterwards! – At 3 PM, Guildhouse opens for regular business hours. Immediately following GMW, there will be a designer hangout from 3 PM onwards where designers and any others interested can co-work, run playtests, network, play games, and socialize.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
