My top ten tabletop releases of 2025. Mixed bag of boardgames and RPGs. No particular order.

1. The Vale of Eternity

A tight little drafter that punches above its footprint.

2. Heroes of Vintaag

A rules-medium fantasy RPG with the best art direction I've seen all year.

3. Sky Team

Co-op flight simulation that takes 20 minutes and is genuinely tense.

4. Mausritter: Mossy Coast

A regional supplement that reads like a novel.

5. Trio

Lightest game on the list. Plays in ten minutes. Always asked for again.

6. Inhuman Conditions: Refit

The original was great. This one is better.

7. Andean Abyss (reprint)

The COIN system is intimidating but worth it.

8. Roll Camera!: Studio

A standalone that's lighter than the original. Better gateway.

9. Ironsworn: Delve (new edition)

Solo journaling RPG that I keep coming back to.

10. Welcome to the Moon

Roll-and-write that finally cracked the format for me.

See you in 2026.
