I don't. I really don't. It's basically just name dropping. If each game would have at least picture of the board and other pictures, it would kind of create yearn to learn more.Now it's like cool, Tom likes this game or doesn't, I have no idea what the game is about or how it plays. These have less information than news section of games that aren't released yet. Also I really really despise the fact there's clock running like this is some kind of race against time to say the least about game and give score of it. If you produce this kind of video, then it's same review a full game in youtube shorts section and be done about it.

"Let’s be real, some games don’t always deserve a deep dive review, unless they’re absolute trash." Sounds like you don't even like games or don't want to know about them, you're just enjoy some stupid 5 second soundbite.

Great format! At the end I would recommend listing the top 10 game rankings from the video so viewers can easily look into them later instead of having to backtrack in the video. Looking forward to your review of Lynx from Play to Z games in the future (they should be at GenCon, I demo'd and purchased at Origins).

Got to disagree on Druids - takes some time to grok and plays very different at different player counts. Understanding the action follow mechanics and setting yourself up to capitalize on other turns is essential. Lots of great mechanics combined in a very different way makes a fun, nuanced game with a ton of interaction. I'd give it a 8. Try it if you can, and make sure to play a few times!

They probably don’t. Most of these games will sell less than a few thousand copies. With the amount of uninspiring games that are being shovelled out, I think it’s only a matter of time before the bottom falls out of the board game industry and we see a great reduction in the number of releases.
