New Releases
Dungeon Crawler Carl Co-Op RPG Renegade Game Studios has officially confirmed that the Dungeon Crawler Carl tabletop RPG will hit shelves in October 2026. The game adapts the popular "World Dungeon" setting from the book series into a cooperative experience, allowing players to navigate the absurd and deadly challenges of the dungeon crawl. This follows the trend of major literary-to-tabletop adaptations gaining traction in the current market.
Indie Horror: Parrot Borg In a quirky twist on the horror genre, a new game titled Parrot Borg (or similar title as described by the premise) is generating buzz. The concept places players in the role of pet parrots whose pirate crew has gone ashore to raid a fort and never returned. The objective is for the avian protagonists to save their owners, blending comedic premises with survival mechanics.

Game Night Pick
For groups looking for something different this week, consider the emerging Parrot Pirate genre games or keep an eye on the Dungeon Crawler Carl pre-launch activity. If you prefer established systems, the recent reveals for Mappa Mundi suggest that exploration-focused games are having a moment, making it a great time to revisit map-based strategy games.
