Every year, I have a blast pulling together a huge list of all the board games currently scheduled to come out in the upcoming year that we’re excited about. There are hundreds of new games every year, but these 51 (and likely a bunch more yet to be announced) are the ones we’re most excited about. Listen to our discussion on the podcast (episode 561 linked here), or skim the list below; links to the Board Game Geek page for each game are available.
