Not sure what game to put on the table this weekend? Leave a comment below for advice
polygon.comOne of the best parts of our jobs at Polygon is recommending awesome new games to play. Whether it’s indie games, cozy games, board games, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting picks. Lists are a great way to share a variety of great tabletop games in a short amount of time. But sometimes it’s fun to do something more personally curated.
That’s why we have this regular open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect board game, card game, or tabletop role-playing game to play right now. Want to start a month-long campaign with a close-knit group of friends? We have options, to be sure. Hoping for something short and sweet to kick off a longer night of gaming? We’ve got something that meets that need as well.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should play. We previously programmed this as a weekly movie column but will be moving that version to a monthly schedule with more non-movie recommendation threads coming your way week over week, including video games, comics, TV, and now tabletop games as well.
I should add that this is also a great place to share what you’ve been playing, if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.
A little bit about me, your curator for this go ’round: I’m Charlie Hall, Polygon senior editor and the first and only tabletop editor at a major media publication here in the United States. I’ve been writing about board games, TCGs, and TTRPGs since before I even worked here — more than 12 years at this point. I haven’t played everything, to be sure, but I have my head on a swivel for the newest and the best in just about every category — from solid roll-and-writes to dark and stormy solo journaling games.
What am I playing right now? Well, Dungeons & Dragons night is Tuesday here for my group
