Engaged Family Gaming Holiday
Every year, we put an enormous amount of care into building something parents can trust during the most chaotic part of the season. The holiday rush gets louder, the schedules get fuller, and the pressure to “get the right gifts” never really slows down.
That’s why the newest issue of Engaged Family Gaming – The Magazine is designed to make your shopping easier and your family time better.
Our 2025 Holiday Gift Guide is packed with recommendations across video games, board games, trading card games, tabletop RPG accessories, and cozy gaming trends. Whether you’re shopping for a preschooler, a veteran dungeon crawler, or someone who just wants something joyful to play on a cold evening, we’ve got something for them.
Inside this issue, you’ll find:
• Family-friendly video game picks
Must-play titles across Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, including favorites like Donkey Kong Bonanza, Mario Kart World, and the latest Plants vs. Zombies overhaul.
• Board games for every type of player
From approachable kid-friendly titles to clever strategy games and updated classics such as Catan 6th Edition and Splendor Anniversary.
• Trading card recommendations
A breakdown of what’s worth hunting for in Pokémon, Lorcana, Magic the Gathering, and more—plus accessories every collector actually needs.
• Tabletop RPG accessories and stocking stuffers
Dice towers, map sets, mimic bags, dice guardians, and other fun gifts for your local adventurer.
• The “Games We’re Playing”
A snapshot of what’s currently on our tables and consoles, from cozy indies to big-budget adventures.
This year’s issue also includes a special piece on the rise of cozy gaming and a preview of massive releases heading into early 2026.
