By: Kristina JamrozComments: 0

We've made it to the end of 2020! While this year has been filled with negatives, it's worth taking a moment to step back and reflect on all of the good it's left us with - including new game releases to enjoy from the cozy comfort of our homes.

Through belated releases, shipping delays, and various lockdowns and restrictions - the board game community persevered. We dusted off the archives and dug through the reports to compile our personal list of the top 50 releases of 2020 (by volume sold) at Cape Fear Games!
The dates featured next to the title reflect the month we first received inventory of these games - and are not relevant to the games' official release date.
