About us

Cold Crest is a small board game studio building bold table worlds.

We design games around atmosphere first: a castle under moonlight, a city council fighting for influence, a survival crisis with a countdown, or a quiet road shared by unlikely companions.

The site acts like a game board for the catalogue. Pick a cover, roll the spotlight, filter by genre, and open each box to see the core pitch and playtest identity.
