Meeple Mountain Year in Review – 2025

Since our very first post, we’ve been focused on publishing high-quality board game related content, whether it’s written or video. We craft and discuss, parenthesize, spellcheck, and edit until we’re happy with it. And this year we smashed last year’s record for our biggest year ever, with 580 published pieces—more than ‌10 per week; that’s crazy for an all-volunteer team like ours.

Let’s walk through the content and see what stood out.

444 Written Reviews

We reviewed even more games this year than we did last year: 444 compared to 410; over 180 of which were released this year! And we continue to review games far ahead of most other review sites thanks to our team’s traveling to Essen SPIEL to pick up European releases early.

By traffic, our biggest game review hits of 2025 were Slay the Spire: The Board Game, Feya’s Swamp, Gloomhaven Second Edition, Purple Haze (which generated quite a kerfluffle), and Earthborne Rangers. In 2025 our One Shot Mysteries series were the big hits, with only Unsolved Case Files: Jane Doe making it into our top 20. But that same top 20 also included popular games Vantage and Bomb Busters.
