WELCOME TO WALKING CARPET GAMES

Who would have thought that a lifetime of loving board games would lead to a second career as a game publisher, but that’s what happened! Since childhood, there has always been something special about playing games. Whether it was summers outside, on Nintendo at a friend’s house, or weekends over the kitchen table; games have always been a source of inspiration, connection, and joy.

At Walking Carpet Games, our goal is to make games that can be customized to fit your group and playing style. If you are a casual gamer, maybe love a good strategy, or are fiercely competitive; we believe everyone should be able to come together and have a great time. Here you will find games that are easy to learn, complex enough to keep you scheming, and unravel with all the twists and turns of a great story!

Now join us as we bring our first (of many) games to market, Life Out West. 

The Old West of the 1890’s was a rough and wild time filled with grit, tenacity and adventure. Ranchers, cowhands, and farmers forged the way of civilization in the great expanse of the last American frontier. Enduring sickness and plagues, these brave pioneers fought against a harsh and unforgiving wilderness. Outlaws abounded as thieves, swindlers and marauders, terrorized neighboring towns while Lawmen struggled to keep the peace.

LIFE OUT WEST is an exciting, easy to learn, and fun-filled game for the whole family. Players compete to become the first Rancher to finish building their Old West Town. This is accomplished by developing your Homestead through the hard work and skill of the Rancher (you) and your Hired Hands. BUT BEWARE! Outlaws from opposing Towns are constantly raiding and The West itself can be harsher than any opponent.
