What we’re about
Welcome Denver gamers! Waterbear Workshop is a family-owned board game design and publishing company based out of Denver, CO. We are founded on the principal that games are outlets for creativity, education, and community-engagement – as is the process of making them. As such, we work with local businesses to host events for gamers ranging from general play to playtesting new games. We are also excited to share our own line-up of games, the first of which is available on our web store. We love the JOURNEY of game making as much as the DESTINATION and believe both are equally valuable when it comes to bringing people together over art you can play.
If you would like to check out some of the games we have available/coming soon, follow one of the links below:
