THE Game of the Year? The One That Made Us Laugh the Hardest? Best Cooperative Game? Let's review the year of 2025 together!
Welcome to Kovray! We're a couple who adores board games and seeks to share our joy and passion with you. Now in the year 2025, we had a big goal: play 365 different games, and we're happy to announce that... WE DID IT!!! To celebrate, we thought we'd sit down and share some awards to the many games that left a mark on us this year.
Our only rule is that we could not give a game an award more than once. Other than that, it's all fun chaos of superlatives and awards.
🎲 Question of the Day: What board game related task would you love to see on a bingo sheet? Bonus point if you label the difficulty, easy, medium or hard? For example: Easy: Play Games with 5 Different People.
