2025 was another ridiculous year for board games. New designers broke through, established studios swung big, and more than a few games completely surprised us at the table.

After months of plays, debates, rewrites, and plenty of “are you serious?” moments, we’ve finally locked in our Top 10 Board Games of 2025.

These are the games that stayed on our tables, lived rent-free in our heads, and genuinely shaped our year in gaming.

In this video we rank them, explain why they made the list, and talk about what makes each one special, whether that’s mechanics, theme, production, or sheer table presence.
