Gray Harbor Games

Gray Harbor Games started in 1998 at a kitchen table with a stack of index cards and one rule: finish the game before starting the next one. We have kept that rule ever since.

We are a small studio. A designer, two developers, and an art team we have worked with for years. We publish one title at a time so that every game gets the attention it needs. That means fewer releases than the big houses, and a lot more testing behind each one.

Our games tend to share a feeling. The table is tense, the rules are short, and the theme does real work. We would rather cut a mechanic than pad a rulebook. If a piece of the game is not pulling its weight by the third playtest, it comes out.

Saltwake is our current release. It took four years and more than two hundred playtests to get the storm to feel right. We think it was worth the wait, and we hope you do too.
