Here is a theme you have not seen on a box before: making your high school yearbook. Class of '89, a new worker-placement game from Paverson Games for 1-4 players, casts you as President of the Yearbook Club in your senior year, racing to assemble the most kickin' yearbook before the deadline.
Got a regular group? Create a private community, poll for the best date, vote on games, and let your friends RSVP in one place.
Set up your group for freeDesigned by Kory Jordan with art by Erik Evensen, the game leans hard into 1980s nostalgia, big hair and Walkmans and all. You send your uniquely skilled staff around the school to capture the year's moments, then arrange your spreads for points through set collection, pattern building and tile placement, with bonuses for laying pages out alphabetically. It is pitched at ages 14 and up with a 60 to 90 minute runtime, so this is a proper mid-weight euro rather than a quick filler. It also arrives with pedigree: Paverson is the studio behind Distilled, the well-loved thematic game about running a distillery, so this is a team with form for turning an unlikely subject into a genuinely good game.
Class of '89 is heading to game stores later in 2026. If your group came of age in the era of mixtapes and mall arcades, this one is going to land. Round up your crew and clear an evening.
