About us

A tiny queer studio making the games we wanted to play.

Gay-mes started at a Boulder summer camp, where a group of friends realized that every party game on their shelf was written by — and for — people who weren't them. So we made our own.

Today we're a five-person collective of designers, nerds, and multiple very opinionated gays. We make card and board games that center queer joy, queer chaos, and queer community.

01

Joy first

Our north star. If a card doesn't make someone laugh, it doesn't ship.

02

Queer hands

Every game is designed, illustrated, and edited by LGBTQ+ creators we pay fairly.

03

Made to last

Beautifully finished cards, recyclable boxes, no plastic shrink wrap, ever.
