Board Games & Tabletop RPG — 2026-09-07
New Releases
The fall season brings notable additions to both board game and RPG shelves. Brandon Sanderson has officially expanded his Cosmere universe with the release of the Mistborn RPG, allowing players to explore the world of Scadrial and wield its unique magic systems. This follows the broader trend of literary-to-tabletop adaptations, with a new strategy board game based on Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series also confirmed for release. The game focuses on alliances, rivalries, and the seven Courts of Prythian, targeting the massive romantasy fanbase.
Additionally, the digital tabletop ecosystem is evolving. D&D Beyond has announced its third-party calendar for the coming months, which will officially support two new classes: KibblesTasty’s Warlord and Sterling Vermin’s Magus. This integration marks a continued shift toward embracing community-created content within official digital tools.
Kickstarter Watch
September continues to be a busy month for tabletop crowdfunding. Aggregators like Big Boss Battle have curated lists of "Best Board Games currently crowdfunding in September 2026," highlighting projects that are live this month. While specific top-grossing titles fluctuate daily on platforms like Tabletop Analytics, the general trend shows a steady stream of strategy and sci-fi titles launching alongside established licensed properties.
For those tracking specific launches, Everything Board Games maintains an updated tracker of upcoming Kickstarters and late-pledge opportunities, ensuring gamers can catch projects before they hit retail.
Game Night Pick
If you are looking for a game that bridges the gap between complex strategy and accessible fantasy themes, consider checking out the newly announced A Court of Thorns and Roses board game when it becomes available for pre-order or retail purchase. Its focus on social deduction and alliance-building within the seven Courts offers a fresh dynamic for groups who enjoy narrative-driven strategy without the commitment of a full RPG campaign. Alternatively, for groups already invested in the Cosmere, the new Mistborn RPG provides a structured yet flexible system for exploring Sanderson’s hard-magic world, perfect for fans of Dune-style political intrigue mixed with super-powered combat.
