These are my top 10 games of 2025. In this list, I've got a couple light games that have high player counts along side some of the heaviest games that I've ever owned.
A charming two-player set collection game for kids, Mooki Island blends adorable artwork, simple choices, and a delightful animal-naming twist into a quick, family-friendly experience that grows with young players.
A skeptical first impression turns into a thoughtful look at Logic & Lore, a deceptively deep two-player deduction game with smart constraints and tense mind games.
A thoughtful look at Pergola, a beautiful garden-themed board game with adorable components, meaningful choices, and a surprisingly relaxed play experience.
