Gundam Assemble: Bandai's New Miniatures Game Lands This Fall For years, Gunpla builders have finished a kit, set it on a shelf, and wished there was more to do with it. Gundam Assemble is Bandai's answer. It is a brand new competitive miniatures game that takes the mobile suits you love, shrinks them to roughly 5 cm, and sends them into fast, tactical tabletop battles. Launching in October 2026, it is one of the most exciting tabletop debuts of the year. Here is the pitch. You assemble and paint small-scale Gunpla-style miniatures, then command them in squad-based combat across a board full of terrain. Games start at a minimum of 3 units per side and scale up from there, and the rules are built for short, decisive matches rather than all-day affairs. Every unit has its own stats and abilities drawn from its role in the Mobile Suit Gundam series, so a Barbatos plays nothing like a Zaku. What makes this launch special is how many hobbies it satisfies at once. If you love building and painting, these are proper multi-part kits with Bandai's famous engineering behind them, so the assembly is a joy on its own. If you love strategy, the squad and terrain systems reward smart positioning and planning. And if you are already deep in Gundam through the card game, the miniatures even double as 3D tokens for the Gundam Card Game, so the two hobbies feed each other. There is also a real cost advantage worth naming. Compared to many established miniatures games, Gundam Assemble is a gentle place to start. The Starter Set gives two players everything needed to begin, while the Deluxe Set steps up to larger, story-driven scenarios with a bigger roster of unpainted miniatures for players who want the full experience out of the gate. Bandai plans a steady stream of expansions after launch, so the game will keep growing. With 20 years of painting behind our counter, this is exactly the kind of release we love, and we are planning organized play so you have opponents from day one. Come build a squad, get some paint on it, and put those mobile suits to work.

This is a big one, and I mean big. Dungeons and Dragons is crossing over with World of Warcraft. If those two names do not immediately mean something to you, ask almost anyone who has played video games in the last twenty years and watch their reaction. Azeroth is coming to the tabletop for the first time in about two decades, and it is arriving as a full D&D book. D&D: World of Warcraft is the very first release under a new Universes Beyond banner for the game, made in partnership with Blizzard, and it is a proper campaign expansion rather than a slim tie in. We are talking a book north of two hundred and fifty pages that lets you build and play as the world of Warcraft inside fifth edition D&D. You can recreate the main character you have logged hundreds of hours on, or roll something brand new to adventure across zones you already know by heart. The content list is genuinely stacked. Every World of Warcraft class is represented with subclass options, so your fifth edition character can actually feel like a WoW class rather than a rough approximation. There is a big spread of playable species drawn from across Azeroth, the kind that let you finally play a Pandaren or a Tauren or a Worgen at your kitchen table. There are dozens of new spells, a stack of magic items, piles of monster stat blocks, and a rogues gallery of the setting's most famous villains getting proper stats, up to and including Arthas and the Lich King. There is also an Icecrown Citadel map pack tied to one of the most iconic raids in the game's history, a Dungeon Master screen, and a line of miniatures, so if you want the full experience it is all there. Whether you are a lifelong D&D player looking for a fresh setting or a Warcraft fan who has never rolled a twenty sided die in your life, this is the perfect on ramp, and it anchors a whole new season of D&D content heading into next year. Come see us at Wandering Adventures in Woodbridge to reserve your copy and get it early, or order online. For the Horde, for the Alliance, roll for Azeroth.The release involves sourcebooks, map packs, specialized dice sets for each class, and some miniatures.

It is a little wild to think about how quickly Riftbound has gone from brand new to a fixture at the store. The League of Legends card game has only been out about a year, and in that time it has become one of the most talked about new TCGs on the market and one of the most popular tables we run. If you have not tried it yet, its next set is a great place to jump in, and it is nearly here. Radiance is the fifth Riftbound set, and it releases on October 23, with the reveal season having already kicked off in late September so you have had a steady drip of previews to get excited about. It is one of the larger sets the game has put out, and the champion lineup is stacked with fan favourites. Seraphine, Evelynn, Ekko, Ziggs, and Jarvan the Fourth all headline, and there is a strong K/DA flavour running through the set that the League crowd is going to love. The showdown box pairing Seraphine and Evelynn is the kind of product that sells itself to anyone who has ever cared about that side of the game. For anyone who has not played, Riftbound is built to be picked up. Games are punchy, the champion decks give you a clear identity to build around, and the whole thing carries that instantly recognisable League energy in its art and characters. It has managed the tricky thing of being approachable for people brand new to card games while still having the depth to keep competitive players interested, which is exactly why it has taken off the way it has. The other reason it is thriving is that Riot has kept the release cadence steady and, importantly, brought the global release dates in line so everyone gets new cards at the same time. No more watching one region play with cards you cannot get. That kind of consistency is what turns a hot launch into a game with staying power, and it is why we have been comfortable leaning into it. We run Riftbound Nexus Nights at the store, so there is a regular, friendly place to learn and play, and Radiance is a perfect excuse to come down. Whether you are a League player who wants to see your champions on the tabletop or a card game person curious what all the noise is about, we will get you into a game. Radiance product and singles will be in as they land, in store in Woodbridge and online. Come find out why this one caught fire.
