Building Up! This week on Board Gamers Anonymous, we're reaching new heights with our feature review of the Top 10 Games That Build Skyward! From towering structures to layered landscapes, we're celebrating games that feature vertical building mechanics—without venturing into dexterity-game territory.

Then, in Roll for Review, Tim shares his thoughts on Super Motherload, Mezo, and The Glade. Chris reports back on the epic conflict in Dune: War for Arrakis, the sprawling civilization-building experience in Civolution, and the galactic battles in Star Wars: Battle of Hoth.

The Sweet Spot: Six Players

What's the ideal player count for a board game?

This week on Board Gamers Anonymous, Chris and Tim dive into one of gaming's most debated topics: games that are at their absolute best with six players. From epic table experiences to hidden gems that shine with a full group, we discuss what makes six the magic number and highlight some of our favorite titles that hit that sweet spot.

In our Roll for Preview segment, Tim takes a look at War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time, while Chris previews Antifascist Tooth Fairy, Game Changer: Home Edition, and The Official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game.

Then, in Roll for Review, Chris shares his thoughts on Canvas Critters, and Tim reviews Pixies.

If You Like Point Salad, Try… takes a look at some of our favorite games that scratch that same satisfying combo-building, engine-crafting, and point-chasing itch! We dive into a variety of games that offer players meaningful choices, clever synergies, and that ever-important feeling of turning a handful of simple actions into a mountain of points.

In our preview segment, we take an early look at Terraforming Mars: The Legacy of Mars, the newest evolution of the beloved Mars franchise, and hit the hardwood with Nothing But Net, a fast-paced basketball-themed game full of tense shots and strategic playmaking.

Then, in our review segment, we tune up for Luthier, a beautifully crafted game of instrument making, reputation building, and strategic planning, before braving the frozen heights of Nunatak: Temple of Ice, where players work together and compete to construct an icy monument in the harsh Antarctic landscape.

If you enjoy games that reward clever planning, combo creation, and maximizing every move, this episode is packed with recommendations and discussion for your next favorite tabletop experience!
