Our Top 10 Board Games of 2024

We wrapped up another amazing year of board gaming in 2024! We played, demoed, previewed, and checked out hundreds of games over the course of the year. Games we backed on Kickstarter, games that were sent to us from publishers, and games we saw at conventions like Gen Con. We’ve gone back through the games we played this year and put together a list of our favorite “new to me” games we played in 2024. These are games that we played for the first time in 2024 - some may have come out earlier, but they are new to us this year. We won’t be including and prototypes we played this year or any of our own games. See which games made the top of our lists with our full top ten video.

What do you think of our lists? Anything you don’t agree with? Any you’re looking forward to playing? What’s your top list? Let us know in the comments below.

We hope that our time travel game Timelancers makes everyone’s top lists in 2025! The game is currently in the process of being shipped to fulfillment and then to Kickstarter backers. It’ll be available on our online store (US and Canada only) shortly after that - early March.
