Containers of Allplay Games Coming in Late 2025 and 2026
Hayward's game Fiction will be joined by Fiction: Banned Books.• Corey Young's three-player-only trick-taking game 3 Witches, which I wrote about previously, is due out in November 2025.• David Spalinski's trick-taking game Torchlit will appear in a new Allplay edition at the end of 2025 with art by Harry Conway.• Similarly, French Toast, which was first released in 2021 by Hayward's Blue Beard Entertainment, will have a new Allplay edition in December 2025 with art by Laura Michaud.• Around that same time, a new edition of Reiner Knizia's thirty-year-old card game High Society will be released, with art by Marie Bergeron and a few extra cards being added to the game, which will probably necessitate a new BGG database listing, confound it!• In early 2026, Allplay will crowdfund Mountain Goats: The Fabled Lands, a legacy version of Stefan Risthaus' Mountain Goats from the design team of Alex Cutler and Michael Mihealsick, with art by Sandara Tang.• Another early 2026 crowdfunding project will be Enchanted Ivy, a design by first-timer Sarah Joshua Kitinsky that will features festivals, weddings, crimes, and more across a dozen scenarios, with each game taking about 20 minutes.• A Q2 2026 crowdfunding project will be Kabuto Sumo Dice, another Cutler/Mihealsick design, with Kwanchai Moriya returning to the world of Kabuto Sumo. If you've played Strike, you'll have a starting point for this design in which you throw dice into an enclosed arena, then...things happen.• Due out in Q2 2026 is an Allplay edition of Jibber Jabble, which designer Cassie Sikes self-published in 2022, then again in 2024.In this party game for 3+ players, everyone but one player — the Jibber — knows the secret word, and all the Jabblers take turns giving clues for this word one letter at a time...but without consulting one another. On a turn, you either give the next letter in the clue word — whatever you think that clue might be — or say "Stop" because you think the clue is complete.
