2020 was a bumpy year in many respects, but there definitely was a silver lining: some great games were released! There were many great candidates for our annual award, but in the end we had to narrow it down to one.
AEG has announced a new racing game, Ravensburger is hosting a puzzle design contest for kids to support charity, and some online gaming conventions have been announced.
Pandasaurus Games has a new game available for pre-order, Big G Creative has released a new dice bluffing game, and new game company Unexpected Games has announced The Initiative.
A new year brings a host of new games to Kickstarter, including the newest game in the Mint Series, and several games designed for the Make 100 Kickstarter initiative. There is also a hidden roles game about thieves double-crossing each other, a new solo game, dinosaurs having a snack, and a skateboarding card game.
It’s time for a standoff between the undercover cops and the criminals. Only problem: nobody knows whose side everybody else is on and you don’t want to accidentally shoot your friends.
As a new year starts, several new games have already been announced. WizKids will be releasing Waddle, Rio Grande Games has announced a new train-themed board game, and Fantasy Fluxx releases this week.
