About Us

Since 2009, Foam Brain Games has strived to Make Your Next Game a Critical Hit

The World of Conventions

In 2009, Andrew and a group of his friends were regularly running LARPs at events across the East Coast when they were struck with a desire to expand into other areas of the industry. Quickly, the idea of selling board games and dice at these events was formulated, and Foam Brain Games was born.

Starting with a single 10x10 booth at Connecticon 2009, Foam Brain quickly became a presence at conventions with their vibrant game and dice displays. Within a year, Andrew had quit his job to work on Foam Brain full-time and had started to look at all of the ways he could bring dice and games to events throughout the United States.

Over 1000 conventions later, Foam Brain still strives to bring joy to attendees with fun new products and memorable booths.

A Quest for Innovation

In 2013, Foam Brain Games was the first company to run a kickstarter for metal dice (and one of the first dice Kickstarters!). Our line, Foam Brain Metals was one of the first designs of metal dice available on the market, and was a unique spin on what had existed up until then. Since then, we've run 24 additional Kickstarters and released hundreds of additional products.

In 2018 we produced the first commercially available mystery dice AND mystery metal dice sets with our Mystery Loot™ line of bags. We continue to produce new themed sets and designs.

In 2022 we released Lost Tome of Monsters, our first design of Pinatures™ - the pin that becomes a miniature.

A License to Design

Throughout the past 16 years, Foam Brain has looked for opportunities to work with amazing brands on fun licensed products. Since 2023 we've released products with Acquistions, Incorporated, Pathfinder, Cyanide & Happiness, Warhammer, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and more.

Outside of work, you'll find her watching nature documentaries, checking out local vegan restaurants, engaging in deep conversations about neurodivergence and mental health, designing intricate animal enclosures in Planet Zoo, or using her witchy powers to create useful objects out of pointy sticks and yarn!

Mac

Materials Manager (They/Them)

Mac started working at Foam Brain at the end of 2020. Originally just planning on a 2 week project to help get dice on the online store, they ended up staying for quite a bit longer. After mastering getting orders out to customers, and a short side quest into logistics, they settled into their newest position which lets them be the dice goblin of their dreams. When not working, Mac loves to bake, play D&D, watch old sci-fi with their husband, listen to frogs outside, and crochet pride bats for their Etsy page.

Mike M

Fulfillment Specialist (He/Him)

Mike has traveled the world doing everything from building large scale balloon sculptures to working in a bakery. These days, Mike is busy filling orders and sending packages to customers filled with dice, pins and other fun things!

Mike, connoisseur of all things graphic arts from historical propaganda to rock show posters also has a love for music and literature.

When he's not working hard in production, you can find him prowling galleries and making something that makes him happy. Or perhaps ensconced in a deep groove. And of course picking things up and putting them down somewhere else, as most dads are prone to do.
