We get it. It’s easy to forget Cool Sword Day, the #1 holiday dedicated to cool swords in all walks of media, because it arrives in the lead up to the “more legitimate” national holiday of Memorial Day. But that doesn’t mean it deserves any less effort or observation. After years of overlooking Cool Sword Day ourselves, Polygon decided we would finally step up in 2024 and do Cool Sword Day right.

Here’s what you can expect from Cool Sword Day: some cool flippin’ swords!!! You will find us dissecting the big-boi magnitude of Elden Ring and Monster Hunter’s greatswords, writing love letters to World of Warcraft blades, rattling off some need-to-know sword trivia, talking to real-life swordmakers, and cementing lists of swords for the history books. Cool Sword Day demands cool sword coverage, so that’s what we did.

You won’t find much Cool Sword Day coverage on other sites, perhaps because they’ve gone all in on [checks notes] Talk Like Yoda Day? With all due respect to the Jedi master, there are more cool swords out there than just lightsabers, and the world needs to know. Polygon is on the case this Cool Sword Day.

Fighting Action Stealth UPS Cooper Top 10 Board Games Based on a Video Game – Again!

With the deluge of board games released every year, it’s hard to keep our top 10 lists in order for very long. Back in 2013, I posted my Top 5 Board Games Based on a Video Game list. A decade ago, pickings were very slim and I couldn’t even find 10 solid games to choose. Zip forward half a decade and I recreated the list, this time getting all the way up to 10 games. And a lot of those games are still excellent: This War of Mine, X-Com, and Fallout (among others) are games I still own and play today.
