Gone Cardboard

A comprehensive list of recently released and soon-to-be-released games from North American publishers. Entries are organized alphabetically by publisher and include the game, the expected release date, and a links section for additional info:

  • The publisher's webpage for this title
  • A game preview or review on Boardgame News
  • The BoardGameGeek entry for this game
  • Information about the game on BGN's German sister site, Spielbox.de
  • Downloadable rules—typically PDFs—in English, German, and French
  • An interview with the game designer or publisher
A release date in green shows when the title was released, and a date in yellow shows that the game has shipped from the publisher and should be available in game stores within 7-10 days of the date listed.

Note that Boardgame News specializes in German-style designer and family strategy games, so most mainstream board games, children's games, party games, and wargames won't be listed. This information has been gathered from publishers, distributors and other sources, and release dates can change due to any number of reasons.

Gone Cardboard archives for games released in 2005, 2006 and 2007 are available on BGN. For information on board games from other countries, check out the following sites, none of which are affiliated with Boardgame News:

Gone Cardboard—France and Europe
Gone Cardboard—Italy
Gone Cardboard—Spain
