My wife Holly and I started Facade Games as a side project in spring 2015, hoping to make a few hundred copies of a little card game for friends and family. Kickstarter had other ideas. We quit our day jobs two games later and have been making board games full time ever since — out of our home in Dayton, Ohio.
We've now published 8 games and sold nearly a million copies. Our promise is always the same: games that are smart (flawless, unique rules), simple (accessible for casual gamers), sleek (beautiful illustration and design), and stylish (original packaging and pieces).
Historical social deduction games set in the world's most dramatic moments.
The Puritans vs. the witches. A hidden-role game of accusation and survival in colonial Massachusetts.
A pirate ship in the Caribbean. Mutiny, treasure, and betrayal. Who can you trust?
Gold rush outlaws, a hidden safe, and not everyone at the table is who they say they are.
Medieval England. The Black Death is spreading. Escape the city — but don't bring a rat with you.
The Red Scare hits the silver screen. Communists hide among the cast and crew of a major film.
Beyond the Dark Cities series.
Our latest game is live. Rome, 41 AD. Emperor Caligula has just been assassinated. The Praetorian Guard must choose a new emperor — but not everyone wants the same one.
