Day 6 of the @spielmas.com ⛄️ festival found us under the microscope looking for Diatoms from @sabrinac.bsky.social @ludoliminal.bsky.social and @25thcentury.games. #SpielMas #boardgames

Thankful @25thcentury.games brought back Botswana (aka Wildlife Safari). Play an animal card (numbered 0 to 5) to the common tableau & take any animal meeple. When 1 animal has 6 cards, round ends. Score your animal meeples based on the last card played for each animal. Love it! #boardgames

May your day be filled with nat 20s. Happy holidays from the 25th Century family.

The latest winner of The Spiel of Approval Award is... Sand Art! From a common workbench, take actions to fill your bottle with lovely patterns to create a one of a kind piece of art. Congratulations to designer Kory Jordan and publisher @25thcentury.games thespiel.net/node/1397

The moose out front should have told you. But if not, just a heads up we are taking this week off. Any orders or support requests will be processed next week. Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season.

Our Kickstarter campaign ends soon. We have a ton of great titles including new imports plus three home grown games: RA the Dice Game, Rheinlander, and The Six of VIII. Supporting the project helps us continue to bring great games to your table. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Tonight on GameNight! @chilibeannp.bsky.social, Rusty, Dave & @heccubus.bsky.social teach & play "RA & Write" designed by Reiner Knizia and published by @25thcentury.games. Thanks so much to @gamegenic.com for the accessories and sponsoring this episode! —Lincoln www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGOK...

Our current Kickstarter ends on Friday, so there's still time to jump in. Highlighting two small box games we are bringing over to North America: Hits & Outs and Beer Mug Dice. 3 original 25th games plus 7 new import titles are all available. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Oliver and Daisy would like to inform you that the reprint for Nova Roma is finally here! US and CA stores will be getting their copies over the coming weeks as they work their way through the distribution system. Amazon and our web store have copies now to order.

Let the cafe wars commence ☕️ 📸 Fika @25thcentury.games #boardgames

We're coming into the last few days for The Six of VIII kickstarter! 👑 $10 for backers. Order with your friends to split the shipping. Plus there are two Knizia reprints and 7 import games to make a custom bundle. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha... #boardgames @25thcentury.games

We're bringing in two new games in 2026 from our good friends at Mandoo Games: Yeti Snack & Cup the Crab. Yeti is a dexterity puzzle, Crab is programming/hand mgmt. You can pre-order both in our current Kickstarter campaign to get them early and at a discount! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Even my dentist is getting into the holiday spirit in the most dentist-ey way with this Hermey statue. Love it.

Playing 8-player Ra! @25thcentury.games

We have not 1....but 2 games featured in this list of top 10 family games of 2025 by TheGameBoyGeek . Any guesses as to what they are before watching? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPrA...

Today is the last day to take advantage of our end of year mega sale. Don't miss out on the biggest sale of the year. www.25thcenturygames.com/store?catego...

Coffee time this morning with my new mug from friends Grace and Mike who recently opened up the Tabletop Inn in North Carolina. Charming home with more games than you could possibly need. And the most welcoming hosts possible.

Others have had their time for Black Friday and Cyber Week sales. Now it's time for ours, and it's a goodun! Our year end mega sale is going on now through Sunday. www.25thcenturygames.com/store?catego...

Wow! Sam Healey released a new video for The Dice Tower featuring 10 best card games for Christmas. Both Big Sur and Wine Cellar are featured! Congrats to designers Mondo Davis and Andrew Stiles for the recognition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyhH...

Tasso Banana is on sale for the bananas price of $5 at the @25thcentury.games store. So I'm taking a moment to say why I love this underrated gem. If you're like me you see this cover and think "oh! cute bananas... I guess?" You can't really understand what's going on, and aren't sure if you care. 🧵

Part of our new 2026 import collection are these two terrific titles from our partner Korea Board Games: Phantom of the Opera & Orbita. Both designed by Geonil, who makes wonderful two player games. Including Jekyll & Hyde vs Scotland Yard and Yellow House. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Retro uniform night! My favorite kit the Falcons wear (Tampa too). Rise up on Thursday night!

Come and learn Botswana in under 3 minutes. This is the new version from @25thcentury.games. youtube.com/shorts/SkWQO...

After over two years in this office and always being cold in the winter....I finally got a space heater today. No more feeling like Bob Cratchit warming my hands over a single piece of coal in here.

Don't let the airships of Grand Central Skyport fly under your radar (see what I did there....pretty impressed with that one). Learn how to play from Tabletop Tolson, then head on over to your game store of choice and pick a copy up for the holidays! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB7R...

We made holiday card inserts for the games in our current Kickstarter campaign, in case folks were giving any away as gifts. Plus, this happened today...KS awarded it the Project We Love status! Link to the holiday card folder is on the campaign page. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Very cool to see Diatoms in NPR’s best games of 2025 list. This and other awards like Mensa Select continue to show what a special game Sabrina at Ludoliminal created. www.npr.org/2025/07/16/n...

We're excited to be teaming up with Tranjis for Pulitzer. Unique worker placement & set collection game, with an evidence board where you use actual string and thumbtacks. Part of our current Kickstarter campaign, alongside a bunch of other terrific games. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Am I the kind of guy who sees Andrew Bosley artwork and immediately wants the game? Yes, but who among us isn’t 😁 📸 Grand Central Skyport @25thcentury.games #boardgame

The Kickstarter for the new @25thcentury.games edition of The Six of VIII is live! Only $10. 10 games on this KS, including two Knizia reprints. Lots to choose from. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Our friend Jenn, the Board Game Librarian, shared our new party game Red Letter Yellow Letter on the morning news. Along with some other fun games for the holidays. Grab a copy of RLYL for your upcoming gatherings! youtu.be/Z_Qh24BwdXI

Daisy is UPS Dogs famous now. She keeps rubbing it in Oliver’s face, who is quite jealous. www.instagram.com/p/DR2LzbPjUw...

I'm sure Rheinlander and Ra TDG are great (haven't played) but if you want the Stu Bundle, games I stand 100% behind: Six of VIII Cup the Crab Hits & Outs Phantom of the Opera Orbita These are all bangers

Two Knizia games are now on Kickstarter from @25thcentury.games. We take a look at both and let you know how they play. youtu.be/XtqUcfOsMZk

I've wanted to nab the Ra Dice Game for years now, so this was an easy back for me. Looking forward to it!

This was the first KS campaign I ever backed. 15 years later....it finally "delivered." And definitely worth the wait. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Live stream coming up in less than an hour. Tune in to see Rheinlander and RA Dice in action. Plus win some games!

Guessing I already own around twenty-five 25th Century Games. What's the harm in a few more?

The Knizia saga continues as well as we have a video that’s been a “long time coming” in the form of a fun teaser for our Top 100 Knizia Games video out 12/31 Said video may involve music, a plushie, & some very inhuman notes~ @allplay.bsky.social @25thcentury.games @outsetgames.bsky.social (2/4)

And we are live! Our newest Kickstarter includes three new games we are producing: Rheinlander, RA the Dice Game, and The Six of VIII (note that is the original box art from the first edition). We also have 7 new imports you can add to create your own bundles. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Today is Giving Tuesday. We have chosen to make our contribution to Lifeline Animal Project here in Atlanta, which does have a matching program for donations today. It is our animal charity of choice where a portion of the proceeds from our version of Cat and Woof Days benefit them here in the US.

"Getting the final last minute things ready for launch today. Hit that follow button to get notified." - Oliver, Barketing Manager www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

🚨FINAL IMPORTS REVEALED🚨 Yeti Snack from Mandoo Games is the craziest looking dexterity puzzle games you'll find. Pulitzer, from Tranjis Games, has one of the coolest game components ever, a punchboard to string evidence together with thumbtacks. Tomorrow! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Maybe I'm getting a little too excited about hyperlight games lately, but it should say a lot that there's two Geonil games there and I'm most hyped about Cup the Crab. y'all gonna love it!

🚨 New Imports Reveal 🚨 We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Mandoo Games for Cup the Crab. 2026 is our first team up with Korea Board Games to bring a pair of two player only games by Geonil to market: Orbita and Phantom of the Opera. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

There's something special about having a game with your favourite publisher. 😊

Let’s do this! Need a W today. Rise up Atlanta
