About Foam Brain Games

In 2009, a group of like-minded entrepreneurs who ran Live Action Roleplaying Games at conventions were looking for ways to expand into other areas in the industry and came up with the idea of selling board games at conventions. From there, Foam Brain Games was born!

Our first convention appearance started with a single 10ft by 10ft booth at ConnectiCon in 2009. We quickly decided that it would be a fun idea to carry a small selection of premium dice at conventions - Then, we were hooked!

It soon became our mission to bring interesting, dynamic and high quality dice to convention goers all over the world! We began carrying dice from every manufacturer and expanding our products to include a variety of different dice styles and accessories.

Since then we've attended over 1000 conventions and events across the world, bringing dice and RPG accessories to the masses.

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.
