From co-op board games to competitive roll-and-write titles, here are the best board games to play at PAX Unplugged 2021. Whether they’re newly released or set to arrive sometime next year, you can experience some of the most anticipated tabletop titles at this weekend’s event. In anticipation of these exciting showcases, we’ve curated a list of the best board games to play at PAX Unplugged 2021, so that you can enjoy them on our behalf. From Machi Koro publisher Pandasaurus Games to Cephalofair Games, the studio responsible for dungeon-crawling board game Gloomhaven and its anticipated follow-up Frosthaven, the convention will be filled with prolific publishers excited to have players get their hands on their games for potentially the first time. The event, which will require visitors to be fully vaccinated and be wearing masks, will see several publishers showcasing their latest and upcoming board game releases for the press and the viewing public. (Disclaimer: PAX Unplugged is an event run by ReedPop, which owns Dicebreaker.) Unfortunately, team Dicebreaker aren’t able to make it to the convention this year - though our wonderful freelance writer Chase will be covering the event - but that doesn’t mean that we’re not excited about what comes out of the hallowed PAX Unplugged halls. Tomorrow is the first day of PAX Unplugged 2021, the tabletop gaming convention taking place in Philadelphia from 10th to 12th of December.
