Origins 2026 was so much fun! I had a chance to meet and talk to so many great people! And a huge thank you to everyone who said hi and stopped to talk to me!

If anyone is looking to hang out or play games, we’re in the back corner of the open play area! Come say hi!

Fresh air and card games! Not a bad way to kick off summer! Otter is a cute, clever card shedding game from Charming.Games Collective, and can fit on most tables! #boardgamesgeek #bggcommunity #boardgames #bgg #boardgamesofinstagram

In Detroit, getting ready for They Might Be Giants!

In Detroit, getting ready for They Might Be Giants!

So far, one of the most visually stunning shows I think I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe it took so long for us to finally see it!

I’m curious, would anyone be interested in some sort of beer swap at either Origins or Gen Con (or maybe both)? Could be a fun excuse to meet up, try some new beers, and play some games!

If you’ve ever wondered what to expect at @originsgamefair , this one’s for you.

In this video, I sit down with April Hill, Events Manager for GAMA and Origins Game Fair, to talk about what goes into planning one of the biggest tabletop gaming conventions in the country—and more importantly, what YOU can look forward to this year.

We gave Potions of Azerland another play tonight. The action prioritization aspect is really interesting and a challenging puzzle! #boardgamesrule #boardgamesgeek #bggcommunity #boardgames #bgg #boardgamesofinstagram

Surprised we haven’t been seeing and hearing this word more often over the last decade.

I had a chance to play Lost Ruins of Arnak again recently, and it was my first time playing with any of the expansion content. It definitely elevated the game! I’ve always been a fan, but the character abilities took it to another level!

Grateful to have a chance to get together with this group and play one of my favorite games! TI4 is such an interesting, cinematic experience where the game happens above the table just as much as it happens on the table. Definitely not a game that everyone will enjoy but if you’ve ever been interested in trying it, I highly recommend it! It’s worth the effort!

I’ve been hearing so much about Hot Streak and needed to give it a try. I see why so many people love it! A silly, chaotic game about betting on a mascot race? Yeah, it’s just as goofy as it sounds!

The Druids of Edora feels like a return to form for Stefan Feld. Don’t get me wrong, I love his more complex games as well. This game feels like an old-school, mid-weight Feld though, with its simple actions and difficult decisions. Definitely worth a play for all my fellow Feld fans!

Not only did we have everyone back at the table last night, but we also played one of my absolute favorites! Clans of Caledonia from Karma Games is such a great economic game, and the arrival of the new expansion gave us the perfect excuse to get it back to the table!

A lot has changed since my last list in 2023 — I’ve played hundreds of new games, and this year’s rankings feature way more movement than usual. Some fresh titles have burst onto the scene, while a few longtime favorites have fallen off the list completely.

Angel’s Share from Capstone Games is an interesting economic game all about trying to buy, age, and sell whiskey for the most profit. You’re doing your best to predict the fluctuations of the market to buy low and sell high. I need more time with it, but it’s definitely got a lot of potential!
