10 Most Anticipated Board Games of 2025!!

[@deathnavy]

I’m super excited for Avalon as well! The theme is amazing and the minis look great! The gameplay also looks intriguing stop i can’t wait to get my copy when it comes out.

[@thankim]

Thanks for the contents but coulda been a lot shorter

[@themissingcomponent]

@@thankim true! I think I need to work on explaining the game less and just focus on my reason for why I like the game

[@garycahill1748]

Top Ten has already been released in English under the name That Escalated Quickly. I don't know if there are differences besides the name. I believe Target has it in their website.

[@themissingcomponent]

Wow I had no idea! Adding it to the cart right now!

[@Ryan_Schlutz]

I came here to say the samething. It is fun I only wish the reverse side of number was whiteboard as it gets tricky to remember was folks said.

[@themissingcomponent]

@@Ryan_Schlutz I played it for thanksgiving with non gamers and we all had a blast! We started with 5 people and every round more people joined in.. we ended up playing 10 people and got all 10 CORRECT! The topic was something about ordering a drink to impress a barista lol

[@themissingcomponent]

@@Ryan_Schlutz the white board thing would be cool too!

[@Ryan_Schlutz]

@@themissingcomponentit is a fun one! One of those silly games that gets people laughing.

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

"Kind of like Animal Crossing"?? SOLD! Great list, definitely interested in Tend for sure. Might have to break my KS ban. Subbed!

[@themissingcomponent]

@@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran it’s definitely pretty! It’s a “flip and write” and not everyone likes those but the creativity to use scratch cards and stamp pens and dice for crops is new to board games and I’m here for it!

[@Kojimalosophy]

awesome video my dude! however, I thought the same thing about galactic cruise, I thought to myself "oh here we go, another Lacerda wannabe game" but after doing a ton of research, it actually plays better than lacerda games because you always have something useful to do, it's lack of restrictiveness translate into tons of decision space, like you're actually having fun, some lacerda games or games like great Western trail, can you find yourself constrained and Always 1 or 2 resources shy from doing the thing you needed to do, so you have to settle with something you improvise just to olay your turn, in galactic Cruise there is almost always something useful to do, please look into it ;)

[@themissingcomponent]

@@Kojimalosophy oh wow, now I have to check it out! I always like those games where you feel smart for pulling off a combo. The only lacerda game I’ve played was escape plan and it was ok but yeah, like you said, I was always 1-2 resources short

[@thevalentes7325]

Great Video!

[@RH-vb1si]

Backed Avalon the instant it launched. Can't wait to play it!

[@themissingcomponent]

Same! At least I can wait till I finish Oathsworn 😉

[@adudenamesou]

I love it! Keep it coming man. Can’t wait to see the next video. Great content 🔥

[@themissingcomponent]

Heck yeah! Gonna have to have you on for an episode 😉

[@garrettschlegel8059]

Troops on a board, dudes on a map, close enough 😅

[@themissingcomponent]

Haha! Thanks for the support 😅

[@TheChrist0ph]

If we're talking expansions, I'm really looking forward to the new Lost Ruins of Arnak release, which will hopefully be in 2025.

[@justineld4905]

I'm very excited for Galileo Galilei and also Valheim.

[@lemilfy]

Oooh those are my photos of Tend you featured. You should credit photographers if you grab pics from bgg. Hope you get to try it, I love this game even though it was an unfinished prototype

[@themissingcomponent]

You’re right! My bad, I’ll do better next time.

[@AeronwyD]

Sadly, the very cool colored pens for Tend *are* in the deluxe version only. I'm definitely interested in a fair number of what you've got on your list!

[@mendozal77]

Want to try Dragoon Empire, Dune Imperium, and unmatched TMNT .

[@tontinforever]

Nice to meet you Richard! I suscribe and follow your from Spain! 😊

[@themissingcomponent]

@@tontinforever Spain! So cool 😎 that’s the next country I want to visit 😁

[@tah27891]

Look into Ito if you like Top Ten..... Dune Imp Bloodlines was on sale this year at pax u, didn't think it was 2025

[@themissingcomponent]

@@tah27891 I’ll check it out! 😊 I went by bgg, and they say 2025.. maybe it was a pre release?

[@monicacanchola5166]

Looks good…. And so do you 😉

[@domenicozaffiro3505]

good work, keep it up. top ten is older than you think. it is actually from 2020.

[@siriactuallysara]

Looking through what games I’m still waiting for my top for 2025 are Arydia DC United Dragon eclipse Elder scrolls Number 1 If it comes next year stormsunder.

[@therealBocaStudios]

They played tend on the Dice Tower Live..it had zero player interaction….

[@LenoxSpartanFitness]

This list is missing Build-a-Cult, def don’t want to miss that game

[@kirilivanov8226]

I dont understand get the hype with TEND, especially with drawing and stamping cute stuff that everyone is excited about ...in addition the markers will dry up and then what

[@themissingcomponent]

@@kirilivanov8226 true! I suppose you’re right. It’s definitely not worth their price point. However I’m interested more in the chill solo experience.

[@collintrytsman3353]

I have to ask why do you keep randomly laughing.......................what are you laughing at?

[@themissingcomponent]

speaking doesn't come naturally to me. It's even more magnified when im talking to a camera in a room by myself. I think I just sound funny, awkward and nervous. I mess up my words constantly and so instead of getting frustrated I just laugh.

[@shawns3911]

You say mechanic and not mechanism!? Instant subscribe!

[@themissingcomponent]

@@shawns3911 haha! I mean, if you say mechanism you’re just wrong 😑
