Stonemaier Games

Stonemaier Games is an American board game publishing company founded in 2012 by Jamey Stegmaier and Alan Stone.

History
Stonemaier Games was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, by Jamey Stegmaier, a student at Washington University in St. Louis, and Alan Stone. In 2012, Stegmaier and Stone crowdfunded funds for the publication of their first game,Viticulture, on Kickstarter, earning about $65,000 from supporters. For legal reasons, they formed a limited liability company titled "Stonemaier Inc.", which would allow them both to self-publish games that they designed and games from other designers. According to Stegmaier, early ownership of the company was split evenly between himself, Stone, and two other partners, but this was later restructured such that Stegmaier and Stone were the sole owners, with former as the majority partner. Stonemaier Games hired additional staff in 2023, and as of then employs one part-time and seven full-time employees.

In 2019, Stonemaier Games published Wingspan, which was featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vox, receiving widespread acclaim. Demand for the game upon release was far greater than expected, and Stonemaier Games issued an apology for initial supply issues. Wingspan is the company's largest selling game to date, with 1.9 million copies sold as of March 2024 and overall sales at the company largely related to those of the game. A successor to the game, Wyrmspan, was published by Stonemaier Games in 2024.

On April 24, 2024, Stonemaier Games announced their next game Vantage, to be published in 2025.
