Whether this is the 1st or the 100th article you’ve read on the Stonemaier Games blog this year, I’m so thankful that you’ve decided to read along (and sometimes join the discussion in the comments). Today I’m going to share my most-read articles of 2025 and a key takeaway from each.

1. How Can We Fix This Together? (Tariffs, Manufacturing, and a Solution): This isn’t technically the most-viewed article I wrote about the tariff tax situation, but it’s the most productive.
2. Announcing: Wingspan Fan-Designed Bird Promo Packs: Here I revealed one of our final products of the year, 6 packs containing a total of 150 completely new birds (and new powers) for Wingspan.
3. We Now Sponsor a Professional Athlete!: In a fun twist to something that started as an April Fools product, in 2025 we sponsored disc golfer and huge Wingspan fan Jeremy Koling (“Big Jerm”).
4. Finspan’s Origin Story and What’s Different Compared to Wingspan: In January I revealed the final game of the -span trilogy, the aquatic-themed Finspan.
5. Introducing the Third-Party Accessory Showcase: We now offer a way for creators who make Stonemaier-related products to feature their products on our website (they are the seller, not us).

The other substantial content I make is found on our YouTube channel. Other than Stonemaier-specific trailers and videos, the top 5 most popular videos from 2025 were as follows:

1. My Top 10 Favorite Games of All Time (as of March)
2. My Top 10 Favorite Heavy Games
3. My Top 10 Favorite Games of All Time (as of September)
4. 10 Steps to Design Your First Tabletop Game
5. My Top 10 Favorite Games of 2025 (Mid-Year)

Is there an article/video–from anywhere–that provided good food for thought this year? If so, I invite you to share a link and your key takeaway in the comments.
