Polyhedron Collider Episode 178 - The Best Tabletop Games of 2025

It’s that time of year again! In this special episode of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we look back at 2025 and count down the best board games and roleplaying games that hit our tables over the past twelve months.

From heavyweight Euros and razor-sharp two-player duels to narrative epics and unforgettable RPG moments, we break down the games that stood out, surprised us, and refused to leave our gaming tables.

Whether you’re building your wish list, arguing with your friends, or just enjoying a bit of end-of-year tabletop reflection, this episode is a celebration of everything that made 2025 a great year to be a gamer.

And don’t forget—you can join the discussion over on our [Discord server]!
