About this episode
The episode discusses the winners and nominees of the 2026 American Tabletop Awards with guest Eric Yurko.
We were a little late in getting Eric Yurko from What's Eric Playing? on the show to discuss The American Tabletop Awards. But hey, these are 2026's winners and nominees...for games released in 2025. So who's to say when we should be covering these things? We are also on the judging committee, so it's always fun to do this each year: bring Eric on, discuss the winners and almost-winners, and tell everyone how we voted. Come join us to see what was the best of 2026! Er, we mean 2025! Chapters: Going Analog's Game Pick: VNTYPL8S. Eric Yurko's Game Pick: MicroMacro: Kids. The 2026 American Tabletop Awards: Early Gamers. The 2026 American Tabletop Awards: Casual Games. The 2026 American Tabletop Awards: Strategy Games. The 2026 American Tabletop Awards: Complex Games.
