Hey there, board game enthusiasts! It’s time to get all the latest buzz in the world of tabletop gaming. This week, we’re diving into some exciting new game announcements, notable releases, and tidbits from the industry that you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a strategy lover or just enjoy clever card mechanics, there’s something fresh coming up that might just pique your interest. Let’s jump right in!
New Games on the Horizon
Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons
The popular Horrified series is back with a twist: Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons. This new iteration allows players to step into the shoes of classic D&D characters like fighters, clerics, and wizards as they battle against notorious monsters such as the Beholder and Red Dragon. While the gameplay stays true to what fans love, it also introduces teleport spaces and a 20-sided die for special abilities.
The downside? It’s a bit light on monsters, providing only four when other entries in the series offered more. Still, for fans of both franchises, this could be a fun combo worth checking out. You can read more about this release here.
Uninvited Guests at a Wedding
Have you ever crashed a wedding? Well, in Uninvited Guests at a Wedding, that’s just what you’re up to! Designed by Phalgun Polepalli, players aim to dine and dance without getting caught. You can clear evidence of your wrongdoing or try to expose your friends, all while rolling the dice with risky accusations. It’s fun, lighthearted, and perfect for party settings. Its release in mid-July 2025 is just around the corner, and it should appeal to those who enjoy social deduction games! More details available here.
Rebirth
From the mind of Reiner Knizia comes Rebirth, a new tile-laying game where players take on the role of clan leaders competing to rebuild Scotland after a series of calamities. The game promises strategic depth with players laying tiles to represent their contributions to society while wrestling for control over prestigious castles. With Knizia’s reputation, this game could be set to deliver engaging tactical gameplay. For more about its mechanics, check out the source here.
