Unlike how it may appear, I am not only playing wargames :) There are some cool, more general boardgames I am awaiting this year - below some of my types. Enjoy!

I have already shared my most anticipated wargames of 2026; now it is time to turn to a more general board game wish list. These titles will appeal to a much broader audience than hardcore grognard…

Rowdy game of Root tonight, still one of the all time greats. It’s always tough to teach friends new factions when you know the game, but fortunately Steve and Natalie are amazing sports to deal with the overhead and deal with my Lord of the Hundreds bullshit. @leder.games

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.
I have an important announcement. Kyle and I are going to be leaving Leder Games to start a new venture. It has been an honor to spend the past eight years working with them. We wish them all the best of luck, and cannot wait to show you what we are working on next.
