The fall is generally the busiest time of the year for tabletop game releases. Unfortunately, this year very little is going according to plan.

What’s to blame? The pandemic, of course. It’s disrupting major tabletop conventions like Gen Con, where many great new games debut, and it’s delaying international shipping. That means the games of fall might be tougher to get than in years past, putting a strain on game publishers and local game stores. If there’s anything on Polygon’s list of the best new board games and role-playing games for the rest of the year, don’t dilly-dally. Contact your local game store or check out a Gen Con pop-up event near you — or simply shop online — to grab the fall’s best games.

Vote with your dollars for the games that you want to play — and the publishers and game stores that you want to see flourish. Here’s our list of the most interesting new products coming out this fall.
