There are many game awards out there, from the Spiel des Jahres to the Golden Geek Awards and everything in between. But it's time for an award specifically for casual games!

Social deduction abounds this month on Kickstarter, with games about calculating and conniving council members, to AI running rampant.

Renegade Game Studios has announced Topiary, Ninja Division has released a new game, and Smirk & Dagger has several announcements.

As the year wraps up, Kickstarter brings us some Christmas festivities! There’s also a new take on Chess and a dungeon crawler with a board the size of a large postcard. 

GeekDad has announced their game of the year, Smirk & Dagger has a new sub-brand, and Ars Technica has published a very comprehensive buyer’s guide.

Gamewright Games has released a new Rory’s Story Cubes, Renegade Games is having a giveaway, and Asmodee has announced Gloom: Digital Edition.

Calliope Games has announced The Mansky Caper, BoardGameGeek’s annual advent calendar is now available to order, and Blue Orange Games has released a holiday gift guide.

Rather Dashing Games has announced a new game, Asmodee is currently having their holiday sale, and IELLO has two new games set for release in early 2018.

There are a lot of creative components this month on Kickstarter, as we have not one, but two games that use 3D boards, and a deck-builder that comes with miniature trees you are trying to attach leaves and branches too.
