There isn't a boardgames wrapped but MAGICAL ATHLETE is easily my favourite of 2025 - I've played loads of times and it never stops being funny and interesting. I love introducing people to it. Huge recommendation! (not sure you can get it everywhere yet soz)

Magical Athlete is back after 22 years. This is board gaming reduced to its base elements, and the result is electric. The new edition from CMYK is perfect, maybe the best update of a game I've ever seen. My review:

Why bet on horses when you can bet on D-list mascots? Hot Streak is a revelation. Rarely is a game equal parts absurd and committed. My review:

If there's one thing I wish the boardgame crowd could internalize, it's this. You never hear designers say "Oh there's nothing to it" pejoratively about a game. If it's said, it's usually in AWE.

This is hands down my favorite race/betting/party game. I've played it a handful of times at different events over the last few months and every one has been a blast. It a perfect depiction of mascot races down to the human eyes inside the costumes.
