Get Ready for New Releases!
This week we’re buzzing about some exciting upcoming games that are set to make a splash in 2025. Let’s dive into what’s headed our way.
Trick-Taking Games Taking Over
Trick-taking games are on the rise this season, and it seems there are some interesting titles set to debut soon. The game Tax the Rich, designed by Kristian Amundsen Østby and Kjetil Svendsen, is one to watch for in October 2025. Players will bid on both the trump color and the number of tricks needed for bonus points, all while navigating a hierarchy themed around various social classes. What’s really cool? Calling for a “revolution” can flip power dynamics in the game!
Folia Folio, by Daniel Newman, is another upcoming title where collectors will gather leaf halves to create beautiful albums, working to create matching sets. It’s all about that autumn vibe, and it rolls out in October 2025.
