The company's corporate headquarters are located in Renton, Washington in the United States of America.

Today, Wizards of the Coast publishes role-playing games, board games, and collectible card games. They have received numerous awards, including several Origins Awards. The company has been a subsidiary of Hasbro since 1999.
