Rather Dashing Games began as a discussion around a campfire on an autumn camping trip in New England. Lifelong friends Mike Richie and Grant Wilson decided to combine their talents and resources to make quality, family games that are "rather dashing." After gaining the support of their awesome wives, Holly and Reanna, as well as putting in a lot of elbow grease, the company was born!

Our philosophy is if we aren't having fun, something is wrong and we hope that translates into our fine products, including the abstract strategy game Element, winner of the Cornerstone Collection Award from Boardgame Corner and a Seal of Excellence award from Dice Tower.

In January 2016, Rather Dashing Games was acquired by Kalmbach Publishing Co., which was looking to expand from special interest, enthusiast magazines into the exciting world of board games!
