It’s a new year! And that means a whole bunch of new games on the horizon to look forward to. This week, we’re diving into more than 50 upcoming releases that we’re excited to see in 2021. Join us for a rundown of everything we already know is coming out this year (and there will be more!) First up, though, is our question of the week: What game releases are you most looking forward to in 2021? And then we dive into what’s upcoming and why we’re looking forward to it so much! See the full list of upcoming releases…
Let’s face it, 2020 was a dud. There were some decent games, sure, but the year itself? Not so good. And most of us were trapped inside, unable to play the vast majority of the best new stuff released last year (I’m looking at you Twilight Imperium IV: Prophecy of Kings).

Here’s a rundown of our 50 most anticipated releases scheduled to come out this year. 1. Heroquest View on BoardGameGeek 2. Descent: Legends of…

We ran through the 32 best of those in last week’s awards episode, and this week, we look back at what we had been most anticipating. First up, though, is our question of the week: Have you been to the World Boardgaming Championships? What game would you compete in? (Thank you Drew for the…
It’s the end of 2020. A collective sigh of relief is rippling across the world, but a year can’t be fully complete until we look back at the best parts of it. For board games, the list is surprisingly strong. Despite limitations on how many games we could play in 2020, we had a challenge whittling them down to just 32. But that’s just what we’ve done, preparing eight categories of nominees, four nominees each. They include: Best Online Implementation: Santorini, Teotihuacan, 7 Wonders Duel, Potion Explosion Best App: Root, Spirit Island, Wingspan, Roll for the Galaxy Family Game: Mariposas,…
