Most Anticipated Board Games of 2024

Board gamers are interesting folks. They like to look back at what was hot or not in the previous year. A second favorite pastime, much like a young Luke Skywalker, is looking forward instead of focusing on the here and now. And while many of us have shelves of shame practically overflowing, what better way to add to that first-world problem than by looking forward to what’s coming in 2024. If 2023 was any indication, there’s a lot to look forward to.

Leder Games has another four-letter title releasing this year, and after the success of Oath in my gaming group, I’m all in. Arcs has seen a lot of additional development since its initial crowdfunding campaign and designer Cole Wehrle has provided a lot of insight into how this is shaping up. While I’m excited for the multi-use cards and defining objectives during play, what intrigues me the most is the micro-campaign option which went into late development and remains a bit of a mystery. Supposedly players engage in an epic space trilogy over the span of three games with narrative that’s organically driven based on player choice. A three-game campaign? I’m ready to blow through at least two campaigns in the first week of acquisition.
Chosen by Tony:
When indie publisher Maxime Gauthier funded Hellbringer on Kickstarter, I was immediately intrigued. It’s a coop/roguelike game that invokes the spirit of the classic dungeon crawler Diablo. However, instead of being an exploration game with lots of plastic miniatures, it is a card and dice game that will have you fighting monsters and equipping your character. I’ve had the chance to demo it a few times on Tabletop Simulator and really enjoy the gameplay. The variety is off the charts, and it faithfully dials in Diablo’s “loot piñata” feel. I think this one will fly under the radar for a lot of people, but don’t sleep on Hellbringer, it looks to be a really interesting game!
Chosen by Jason:
Why am I most looking forward to Galactic Cruise for 2024? I’m boring, so what initially draws me to a game is the theme, the looks, and knowing what mechanics the game uses. A space-travel theme juxtaposed with retro art and organized by Ian O’Toole, coupled with worker placement has me counting down for lift off. I knew the designers were at Gencon this last year, I saw it from afar, and I still kick myself for not vulturing over a table just to watch this played. While I don’t typically seek out the heavy games (I don’t know if this will be one or not), I wanna see what reaches of space this one explores for me.
Chosen by Andrew:
Have I learned my lesson about getting unreasonably excited about the next two player dueling card game that will almost for sure just let me down? I mean, after Keyforge,

Hasbro unveils Blood Rage designer Eric Lang’s next board game, Life in Reterra
Award-winning board game designer Eric Lang, whose Viking-themed Blood Rage is a fixture on Polygon’s list of the best modern board games, has something new to share — a tile-laying strategy game called Life in Reterra. This time, instead of partnering with hot young publishers like CMON or Steamforged Games, he and co-designer Ken Gruhl (Happy Salmon) have gone with the granddaddy of them all, 100-year-old Hasbro. And while we don’t know everything yet about how the game works yet, we do know Lang himself considers it among his “strongest designs ever,” and that’s enough right there to get me interested.

March's Most Exciting PS5 Game Is Skipping One Country Entirely
is one of the biggest upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusives, but the game is going to be skipping one major market completely. Developed by Team Ninja, the studio behind action hits like, , and, successor to the latter is an open-world historical adventure taking place during a time of major upheaval in 19th century Japan. This setting could prove interesting to many potential fans, but it also treads on some ground that seems like a likely cause for the major exception in its worldwide release.

Kingmakers, announced earlier today, looks like it'll scratch that particular itch pretty successfully, but I need you to watch the trailer before I tell you anything else about it.
