Halfway Through 2025?!

I blinked and somehow it’s July. It's time to check on those 2025 board game goals and see what’s actually making it to the table. Spoiler: the hype fades, but some games are forever!


📊 Progress Report

  • ✅ Collection under 500 — nailed it!

  • 🕹️ 27% of the collection played

  • 👑 25/100 unique Dominion kingdoms — slowly but surely building our own Throne Room



🏆 Most Played Games So Far

Let’s be honest, some games just don’t leave the rotation:

  • 👑 Dominion – The reigning champ. Still discovering new combos and kingdoms

  • 🧑‍🚀 The Crew – Quiet chaos and teamwork at its finest. I honestly think that if LotR Trick taking Game could be counted as The Crew, this would be the most played game of the year. It's so good, and depending on the group, we can't finish a night without playing one of the other, or sometimes both

  • 🔥 Knister – Fast, crunchy, and chaotic fun. Like Splitter but speedier. We keep trying to outsmart the dice… spoiler alert: we never do 🙈

  • 🧙‍♂️ The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game – Long name, probably one of the longest ones I've seen. Amazing game! We are obsessed!

  • ⚓ Captain Flip – Bag mechanic magic from Paolo Mori? Yes please.

  • 🪐 Jump Drive – Forever in our deck box. Still teaching it, still loving it, still undefeated in universal appeal. We've sleeved this game, we got a second copy, so it can live in the car, and! We got score counting dials, so we can play this EVERYWHERE!


🎒 Games That Go Everywhere

We love a good portable game — here are the ones that live in bags, purses, and glove compartments:

  • 7️⃣ Flip 7 – The one we always bring. Even non-gamers ask for it!

  • ✍🏻 Knister – Fast, tense, and somehow always just out of reach

  • 🧳 Jump Drive – Our default pick for cafes and travel nights


(And don’t worry — Dominion still travels with us in that iconic Gamegenic sleeved 1,000-card case) We’re chasing fewer new releases this year and playing more of what we love. What’s been hitting your table lately? Any 2025 games still going strong?
