Whether you were in Philly or not, we’ve done the hard work for you by picking out some of the highlights from this year’s show.

Among the games we played were a mix of Lego and X-Wing, a hidden role game for just two players, an adorable head-to-head battle to boop cats, a land-shaping wrestle between demigods, an origami RPG and more. From brain-burning strategy games to lightweight party hits, our picks run the length and breadth of what tabletop gaming has to offer.
