Several groups of gamers in the Greater Seattle/Puget Sound area are collaborating to organize an annual all-day event. The event is entirely free; there is no fee to come in, to play, or for any other activity. The event does not bring any revenue to any organizer or sponsor.

National Games Week 2007, organized by Games Quarterly Magazine, took place on November 18-24 (Thanksgiving week). Emerald City Gamefest 2007 is currently being organised and will be held on November 24, 2007 (Thanksgiving Saturday). For some feedback about last year's (2006) Gamefest, scroll to the bottom of the page.


Who, When, Where, How...

We have role-playing games, board games, miniatures games, card games, etc. This event is specifically intended for "live" games rather than computer games, although it is alright if you wish to bring your computer and play pick-up LAN games.
