Stonemaier Games Design Day 2025

Give and receive feedback on game prototypes, expand your network within the gaming community, and learn from clever mechanisms in published games (there are no seminars, talks, or formal discussions).

The date for the 2024 Design Day is on Sunday, October 12th, hosted at Pieces Board Game Bar & Cafe in St. Louis (at their new location). There will be some related activities on Saturday, but the core of Design Day is from around 8:30 am to 6:30 pm on Sunday.

You do not need to bring a prototype--usually about 60% of attendees are there just to playtest and learn games. The fee covers all food and drinks (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Attendance will be capped at 110 people, and the fee is refundable up until a week before the event.
