After two years of supply chain delays, pandemic-impacts on conventions, pushed-back Kickstarter campaigns and more, 2022 felt like the opening of the gates, with dozens of quality games hitting the shelves and a legitimately hard time getting them all to the table.
2023 is looking to be an even bigger year with hundreds of games on tap (that we know of), and hundreds more likely on the horizon. We’ve combed through the list of what we know is coming in 2023 and narrowed down a list of our 50 most anticipated games of the year.
Enjoy the full list below (including a select few expansions set to release in 2023), or read more on each through Board Game Geek – links with each of the entries.
