Play It Before Anyone Else Does.
Drop-in demos from indie designers and established publishers, all weekend long.
Ironweld — Summer 2026
Everwinter — Winter 2026
Ironweld and Everwinter host a rotating lineup of 6-15 board game demos each convention, featuring games that haven’t hit shelves yet or are just starting to make noise. Walk up, sit down, and get a hands-on tutorial from the people who made it or the publishers behind it. No signup, no extra cost beyond your pass.
Sometimes you’ll get to talk directly with the designer, give feedback, and be part of the process before the game even launches.
