With the new year having (finally!) arrived, we can begin looking forward to all the games being released in the next twelve months.  :rockon: 

Topping my own list is Distant Worlds 2, the long-awaited sequel to Distant Worlds (Universe), Matrix's wonderful/quirky/flawed real-time 4x/grand-strategy title.  And if 2021 release dates can be confirmed, then Knights of Honor II: Sovereign (real-time medieval grand-strategy) and Horizon 2 (turn-based space 4x) will round out my top 3. 



Whether it's boardgames, miniatures, PC titles, etc., what games are you guys most anticipating/excited for in 2021?

Yep, Distant Worlds 2 is on my list.

I have two tabletop games on preorder from Compass, Third World War and Schutztruppen so looking forward to those.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Are you not familiar with the Pendragon series of RPGs?

Wouldn't the list of things you don't have on preorder be shorter and easier to remember?   ;D

No, I cannot say that I am.  I had no idea this was an actual thing.  Holy crap!
