Runewars
Designer: Corey Konieczka
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
Runewars is the ultimate tabletop experience. More strategic than other tabletop war games without bogging down, supporting multiple players, using bidding mechanics, hero mechanics, and even supporting an expansion, this 7 year rush for Dragon Runes will have you begging for more. We LOVE this game.

Battlestar Galactica
Designer: Corey Konieczka
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
This made the top of our list of traitor mechanic games. As humans you must survive and find earth. If you become a Cylon (which can happen halfway through the game) you must stop them. It’s that battle, often fought beneath a shroud of secrecy that makes this game so darn hard…and so fantastic.

Caverna: The Cave Farmers
Designer: Uwe Rosenberg
Publisher: Z-Man Games
Caverna is still on the preorder lists but looks amazing, bringing everything that made Agricola a favorite to caves, where new mechanics, support for more players, and a longer (yes longer) play through will have farming fans begging for more.

Mage Knight
Designer: Vlaada Chvatil
Publisher: WizKids Games
Based loosely on the mythos of the miniatures game from WizKids that eventually turned into Heroclix, Mage Knight was a HUGE hit in 2012 as one of the best and most complex board games to be released that year. It’s still a favorite, and if you can get a group together to play consistently, it will reward you time and again.
