Origin Story

Opened in 2001 by Steve Port and Dave Elsner, Misty Mountain Games is dedicated to serving Madison's tabletop gaming community. Misty Mountain quickly became known for hosting large, well-organized tournaments and events that brought in players from across the state. These tournaments helped shape the store into a true community hub, where friendships were made across game tables.

Expanding The Lore

Misty Mountain has grown with its community moving into a larger and more accessible location and running events for a variety of games. We now offer a diverse selection of games and accessories and host a large in-store play space, designed to support both casual players and competitive gamers alike.

Where We Are Now

Brian Kowal (BK) became the owner of Misty Mountain Games in 2017. A fan of the store from the very beginning, he made it a personal goal to make Misty Mountain into the ultimate gaming space in Madison for community and inclusiveness. After nearly 25 years, our mission remains the same: share our love of tabletop gaming, support our community, and provide a welcoming space where everyone from new players to seasoned veterans feel at home.
