Welcome!

Blue Highway LOVES to partner with and uplift game designers & others in the industry!
One of the best ways to do that is by hosting Demo Days in our event space with designers!
Washington State, especially the Greater Seattle Area is one of the nation's hot spots for board game design so we are very fortunate to have lots of local designers, artists, game companies, and others in the industry to highlight.

What could a Demo Day look like?
A Demo Day could look like designers teaching their games to event participants and community members, sharing about their experience in the game industry, promoting new games coming out soon, highlighting games they've worked on in the past, &/or providing meet & greet and signing opportunities for board game enthusiasts!

"For All Mankind is a fast-paced game of strategic exploration, clever trades, and diplomatic shenanigans. Build your empire across the ever changing solar system (careful, the planets move!). Gather, trade, and invest your resources. And do whatever it takes to stay ahead of the competition.
Learn to play in about 15 minutes. Finish the game in about 60 minutes.
The most fun you'll ever have blowing up your friends in space, guaranteed!" - Bad Cat Media
