Top 20 Most Anticipated Board Games of 2019 by Man Vs Meeple

[@natechatellier2130]

What an incredible honor it is to have Dice Throne S03 on this list! A statement like that coming from the MvM crew feels surreal. I am truly humbled and so grateful. Thank you!!!

[@meeple]

Just passing on the joy - Dice Throne is an amazing experience and deserves the success it has enjoyed!

[@mattmatier5745]

Nate, you guys made a great game! We have a game group that is planning on having a Dice Throne tournament in our local convention in March :) We had one during our extra life event last November as well and it went great! Thanks for making games! and I look forward to seeing season 3 :) (fingers crossed for asymmetric heroes vs boss)

[@rAaliasReal]

Love that about Nate, he‘s not that „shadow“ designer behind the game that designed a game and does not really care about it afterwords. He really loves his game and shares it with everybody. This in combination with roxley is the best combination possible. Had the chance to meet Nate in Essen. What an amazing person. Not spoiled at all from the success. By far our most played game. 😀

[@chadjacobson2679]

You are correct on Wingspan. It’s been a great game to bring out with lighter gamers. I can’t wait for Escape Plan, Barrage and Pipeline - though we are still enjoying our prototype of that one.

[@CreatedBy_official]

I love how older video games are being brought to the board game realm! It looks gorgeous and I can't wait to see how Street Fighter will play once it's landed

[@davidwaybright]

Yes, yes, and yes.

[@boardgamebella1794]

Wingspan, Comanauts, Reavers of Midguard, Paladins of the West Kingdom (Architects was my #2 last year!!), and Artemis Project. Great episode!!

[@Felizwerg]

My most anticipated game for 2019 is definitely Onimaru. I love Co-op games and its variability with all those decks and tiles is just awesome! Went all-in on it on Kickstarter and I can't wait to get my hands on it to figure out what the coolest combo of techniques, passives, yusha cards and everything is to fight those Onis back :)

[@charlesintune]

Yesss! I can't wait to get this!! The hype is real for me for Onimaru!

[@TheShapingSickness]

I love these videos, great unscripted commentary, amazing editing to show the game components and box art.

[@JoeIrrera]

Great Top #20 video. You guys got strait to the point with ampl information. Not like some tubers that have to talk about all their personal life between each game mention. Great job. So many games I need to research now. Thanks.

[@madifinley7018]

MvM sold me on Dice Throne. I preordered the Gunslinger vs Samurai after watching the MvM review.

[@davidwaybright]

MvM "Helping gamers spend money since 2016"

[@jonathanmullins9386]

Black Angel, Dice Throne 3, Edge of Darkness, Football Highlights 2052, Gentes, Belfort reprint, Glen More 2, Alubari, Paladins, Eclipse 2nd Dawn, Wingspan, Firenze reprint, Escape Plan, On Mars... i could keep going 2019 is going to be nuts (and thats before expansions)

[@davidwaybright]

Ha! So you're basically anticipating board games in general. I can't disagree.

[@nickmurray5169]

Wingspan is fantastic. Every game we’ve played so far has felt different from the last. The variety of tactics and strategy possible within 4 simple, buttery smooth actions is mind boggling. And the components are delightful. Highest recommendations.

[@meeple]

Agreed - it pushes a lot of buttons for a lot of people, us included!

[@davidwaybright]

Couldn't agree more. We just played it again today, and I'm appreciating different engines that I hadn't even considered before.

[@arcubal]

Oh. My. God. I had not heard of Ryan's new game Sleeping Gods until this moment - but now I can't wait to see it in 2019 either!!! Take my money already, you creative genius!!

[@joelface]

Dice Throne Season Three!! My number one by FAR! Can’t wait for new characters and a coop campaign! 😍😍😍

[@ProfOfHifi]

i have first and the second season. I have only played once the first season and it was kinda "was that it?". I bought first season originally for game to play instead of King Of Tokyo, but i didn't felt that "i go, you go, i go, you go... " was nearly as fun as King Of Tokyo. I hope when i play second season next time it will be a bit better experience. The cards have art which can make the experience a bit better.

[@charlesintune]

I'd be interested I got s1 cuz it looked beautiful and well thought-out but I don't really like "Take That" elements. But a co-op legacy game sounds intriguing..

[@Rammvis]

Spoke to the creator of Dice thrown during PAX Unplugged, he said that season 3 will include a co op campaign

[@davidwaybright]

We heard that too! They're really doing cool things with the game. In other news...your screen name. ;)

[@Rammvis]

Lol it pains me that I made this sn when I was a kid

[@RedEyedGhost1]

The obvious new content for Heaven and Ale is a bunch more of the goal/barrel tiles to provide some variability in the game. The designer for Black Angel recently said on BGG that it will be a GenCon release this year. My most anticipated games of 2019 in loose descending order from my backed Kickstarter projects: Barrage, Pipeline, Project L, The Artemis Project, City of the Big Shoulders, Escape Plan, Eclipse Second Dawn, Neta-Tanka, and Rurik: Dawn of Kiev.

[@davidwaybright]

Solid list. Seems like you lean toward the heavier side of gaming, yes?

[@RedEyedGhost1]

@@davidwaybright Yeah, I'm definitely trending that direction. Project L does not fit with the rest of my list! Really looking forward to it though. Looks like it could be a true Splendor killer for me.

[@justicebolt5293]

My top 5 is: Dice Throne Season 3 Altar Quest Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread Seventh Cross Paladins of the West Kingdom

[@meeple]

Altar Quest! Kira and I played Star Wars: Imperial Assault last night with Adam and Brady Sadler - we talked a LOT about their upcoming Altar Quest....looks very very cool!

[@Frostation]

Paladins of the West Kingdom is my most anticipated game and I haven't even played Architects yet

[@vanyaserra1]

I was personally unimpressed with Architects, honestly do not get all the hype. The only part I guess people get hyped about is "dic****" over your opponents move and honestly the game doesn't really need it so not sure why it is there, besides they wanted players who get hyped about that kind of thing to like their game. Play Pillars, way better game, with better mechanics and better gameplay.

[@papabear3x]

Did you know the artist for wingspan is self taught?! 🤯🤯🤯 let that sink in. She has done an amazing job. My kids love the game.

[@davidwaybright]

WHAT?! I had no idea, and that is amazing. The bird illustrations look like they're straight out of an encyclopedia.

[@adamr56]

I think Iwari, Tang garden, and Fuji Koro have my interest the most within the next year. All look fantastic, plus fun to play. Fits my motif of quick to teach, easy to play with deeper strategy.

[@riochang9346]

Great list! I hope to see Kira on the show more. Mine are City of Big Shoulders, Pax Pamir 2e, Barrage, Invasions. Skulk Hallow looks very cool.

[@GamingWithGeo]

For me, the top games of this year that I'm waiting on are: Carnival Zombie 2nd Edition (developers have assured that it will appear this year), Clinic: Deluxe Edition (if it ships before the end of the year), Stellar Horizons, On Mars, and Escape Plan. I would add Dungeon Crusade, and Perseverance, but those most likely won't ship until 2020. In the event that Carnival Zombie and Clinic don't make it this year, substitute Uboot and Middara in their place.

[@davidwaybright]

We're going to be taking Carnival Zombie for 2nd Edition for a spin very soon. I was not familiar with it, but it looks pretty interesting.

[@GamingWithGeo]

I have the first edition and really like the game. It just had some design issues that needed to be rectified. Main one, for me, was the obstacles that were placed on the board. They blended in with the board so you lost track of where they were.

[@JamesWoodNarrator]

Not mentioned here, my #1 anticipated game of 2019 is The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth from Fantasy Flight Games. Of the games mentioned here I'm really looking forward to Wingspan, Tang Garden, and Black Angel. In that order.

[@dylanware2193]

James Wood Journeys in middle earth is my top game too. So excited for it

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

You guys are getting me very hyped up for 2019 board gaming... Just keep it a secret from my wallet.

[@robertmesing1764]

wallet? you missspelt wife. Greetings from Germany

[@herrkelm]

So glad to see Skulk Hallow on here! Got to play a demo of it last year and I wanted to go home with a copy! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had a positive experience

[@eVanDiesel]

I'm also anticipating Machi Koro Legacy and Tang Garden! Looking forward to The Artemis Project, Museum, Sweet Mess, Wayward as well. Oh, and finally getting my hands on 7th Continent!!

[@dinraal-mtg]

Wingspan definitely is on my list! Nice episode 👍

[@meeple]

Thank you Simon!

[@dman13141314]

Mezzo, Tang Garden, Escape Plan, Edge of Darkness, Wingspan would be my top five.

[@davidwaybright]

Wingspan delivers. We got our copies since recording this, and I stand by including it on my list. So good!

[@dancourtney2633]

All four of these people are cute ah. What a friendly, knowledgeable, fun bunch.

[@dancourtney2633]

as hekk*

[@davidwaybright]

Dan, I think you might be the first person to ever refer to me (among the others) as "cute ah"...and I love it! ;) Seriously, thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching.

[@danielnilsson430]

Wingspan, Museum, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Glen More II, Rome and Roll

[@meeple]

I'll have to look up Jonathan Strange - never heard of it.

[@danielnilsson430]

@@meeple I have no idea what the gameplay will be. Heard about it on Rahdo's anticipated games list and I really liked the book - so it's already a cool theme. Hopefully it'll be a good game too.

[@alicia1465]

Cannot wait to get my copy of Wingspan! I’m also excited for the reprint of Key Market, Oceans, and several expansions. :)

[@danielkeim8558]

My most anticipated game is come out this week I believe, Comanauts! I played it at GenCon and was completely blown away. Can't wait to get my copy!

[@repeataftermeme75]

Daniel Keim I know nothing of the game but I just took a look on google. Visually reminds me of stuffed fables and time stories.

[@danielkeim8558]

@@repeataftermeme75 it's the sequel to Stuffed Fables! Same designer and system, but more for adults than kids

[@GScrubb181]

Really looking forward to the 7th continent add-ons. But yeah tainted grail looks like they've used a few similar mechanics so can't wait to get that too. Also there's a great solo game coming out called Blight chronicles. Can't wait to get a few games of that in.

[@derekgarcia3069]

Top 5 KS delivering this year (hopefully) - Claustrophobia 1643 - Mythic Battles: Pantheon - Street Masters: Aftershock - The Edge Dawnfall - Deep Madness Top 5 games launching on KS this year (I don;'t know enough about what's hitting retail to say): - Altar Quest - Mythic Battles: Ragnarok - Batman: Gotham City Chronicles (Reprint + new content?) - Tsukuyumi Full Moon Down (New edition w/ minis) - Bloodstone (late 2019/early 2020) *Bonus* Dice Throne S3 because of all the talk here and elsewhere. I feel like I don't have a lot of interest overlap with the guys from MvM, lol.

[@davidwaybright]

You know what? We need to dive more into some miniatures games like these. Many of us like them when we play them, but we just don't get them to the table too often. Thanks for sharing.

[@JimCrimmins]

MB Pantheon and Deep Madness are both excellent games.. An accessible skirmish game with crazy minis and a really sharp tense dungeon crawl with some excellent twists and a great setting.

[@Mentat1231]

It's all about Black Angel! But I'm also getting my Kickstarters (Eclipse 2, Project Elite, and Awkward Guests), all of which I'm super excited about.

[@deathrace8287]

Thanks for the review MVM! Smoke em out!!

[@dchan3113]

I got a chance to play Wingspan at Breakout in Toronto last weekend (after seeing it but not getting a chance at the Niagara board game con in January) - tons of fun and visually stunning. I immediately signed up to be notified when it becomes available as it is sold out everywhere, including pre-sales. Eagerly anticipating arrival. Thanks for some great suggestions to look into in the meantime. :)

[@tedosborn7628]

Wingspan, street masters aftershock, dice throne season 3, Sentinels of Earth-Prime and Prime War (the revamp of sentinel tactics)

[@charlesintune]

Prime war is DEF NOT coming out this year we'll be lucky if the KS gets out this year but they're def in development of it (I got to play a prototype at Pax U) so I'm so psyched to get it... in 2021. :P

[@DaFees]

I would have to say, for me, I am most anticipating Tang Garden (my #1 for sure as I went all in on KS), Pipeline, the Sagrada expansion(s), and Paladins of the West Kingdom!

[@davidwaybright]

Tang Garden is gorgeous, and has some super clever mechanics.

[@DaFees]

David Waybright Oh for sure, and I love how (like Carcassonne for which it draws some inspiration) the expansion(s) add even more interesting elements to the game. Plus the look of the board once finished is like a statement piece you could almost put on display for all to see. Now I won’t say that this game will blow up and be as big as Carcassonne is but I definitely see where ThunderGryph can do quite a bit with this game going forward! Anyway, (not that I need sold on the game) I hope your channel does an updated review of the final game when it comes out. I’m curious if the final product will get the coveted MvM approved seal!

[@AP-nz8qv]

Babbage’s!! That store was my go to for video games as well as Egghead Software! Then came the used game revolution - Funcoland - which I worked at for a few years in high school.

[@altaripa8130]

My most anticipated games 2019 are: - Living Planet - L.A Crimes (detective expansion) - Barrage - Paladins of the w.k. - Black Angel. And hope for Pandemic Legacy s3

[@davidwaybright]

I still need to finish Pandemic Legacy s2. Elisha (my fiance) and I got about halfway through, and then got distracted by other games. Solid list by the way!

[@mattmatier5745]

well....I wasn't before....But now I'm anticipating Dice Throne Season 3! I didn't know they'd announced it! Thank you so much!

[@davidwaybright]

There hasn't been much more than a "tease" on social media, but it's happening. I'm sure we'll find out more sometime soon.

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

My most anticipated game for 2019: EZCAPE, a zombie themed card game for 4 - 12 players. Please support this project on Kickstarter.

[@deejayfox1764]

Its going to be a great year. I want to play On Mars

[@GusG_]

My most anticipated most anticipated list of the year! My 5 5) iwari 4) Skulk Hallow 3) Sleeping God's 2) Roll Player: fiends and familiars and Adventures 1) The Artemis Project I'm also intrigued by Proving Grounds from Renegade Games.

[@davidwaybright]

Is Iwari a recent addition to your list? ;)

[@caseypeterson5827]

Very recent. But amazing art, great theme, and built on tried and true mechanics (web of power), made it push Neta Tanka off my top 5.

About BLACK ANGEL - Judging purely by the pics, it looks like it will have the very same mechanism the designers implemented in SOLENIA, where you have some sort of ship moving from a moving belt of tiles... Do we know if that is a correct assumption?

Im waiting for dice throne season 3 but also now waiting for skulk hollow :O

[@juanpablozabala4975]

Yes! Street Fighter! Can´t wait to get this game :)

[@jasonjanisewski78]

My #1 By far is UBoot. That game has the potential to be amazing

[@Naledgeizpwr]

I generally do not spend much time looking at the horizon for games. I want to make sure a game stands the test of time, if so, I’ll pick it up a few years later. That being said, that is not the nature of this program, so in the spirit of the list the games that I am intrigued by are Dominant Species Marine, Escape Plan and Alubari. I think Dominant Species is a great design, but the game length can make it difficult to get to the table that often. Hopefully Marine can change that without losing what made DS special. I do not enjoy all Lacerda games, but when I do I really love them. This looks a bit lighter than most of his designs but it still looks interesting. I very much enjoy Snowdonia, perhaps Alubari will be different enough to warrant playing both.

[@meeple]

Dominant Species Marine? I also have to look that one up!

[@davidwaybright]

I have a feeling that Alubari is going to be one we're talking about on the channel this year. I just looked at it for the first time, and it certainly seems to be our kind of game.

[@Jeff_Pusch]

I've played Court of the Dead 5 times. I prefer it to Blood Rage.

How do you have the "In the hall of the mountain king" box when it's nowhere near being released?

[@Alexanderkermani]

The next season of Exceed (the fighting game I mentioned before) is Street Fighter!

[@davidwaybright]

Have to admit--I knew of this, but not it much detail. Just checked it out on Level 99 site. I may need to try this system, even though that type of game is not in my wheelhouse.

[@Alexanderkermani]

@@davidwaybright It really matters who you play. I didn't like it the first time I tried it, and I didn't play it again for several months after that. Get someone who knows the game to explain the fighters and pick one that suits you. Also, make your first few games against someone else that's new or is at least not going to be annoying to game against. I volunteer on Tabletop Sim (TheLotusWraith) if you don't have anyone locally.

[@Kryptonite_V]

Nice video, thank you! I'm on board with Dice Throne S3 and Tainted Grail, though I think they'll be 2020. 2019, I'm looking forward the most to (no particular order) UNBROKEN, Machina Arcana, Rallyman GT, Call to Adventure and Inhuman Conditions. Until then, I'll be playing mostly Dice Throne, Everdell and Gloomhaven =)

[@Fighterfan69]

@@davidwaybright Well I purchased Raiders, it's expansions and the solo deck based on what I've read and seen after the fact. The unique take on worker placement for both games intrigued me from the get-go. I'm liking Raiders a bit more because of the theme. I didn't get shipwrights as the gameplay didn't appeal to me. Certainly a matter of taste. But the art is amazing! really draws you in. That's why I got Robin Hood and the Merry Men is because of Mico's art. Looking forward to more info on Paladins which I'm sure will be covered my MvM when the KS arrives.

I played Wingspan last week and it is really good. The hype cynic in me had to tuck its tale and apologize to Jamey Stegmaier and all of the reviewers. It really does hit that sweet spot of Terraforming Mars in under an hour of playtime. The only good thing about waiting is getting the 3rd printing with all of the printing errors corrected :-)

[@AMLITT4]

Completely missed Skulk Hollow. Pre-ordred it right as you all finished talking about it

[@Bogrin]

Only game I think you guys missed is Tidal Blades! 2019 is gonna be great!

[@davidwaybright]

In all fairness, it's sometimes hard for us to think of games we've already played. We have a few plays of Tidal Blades under our belts, and it is definitely worthy of "most anticipated" status.

[@ProfOfHifi]

I didn't back Tidal Blades, but i backed Grimm Forest from Druid City Games and i have been starting to feel like that if they ever put games out in similar vein of Grimm Forest i will back them all! It's strange, it's such a simple game, but it's pure fun to play. I just backed Valor And Villainy a few days ago, and there will be other games from Druid City Games which i will back too :)

Definitly backed Street Fighter for the same reasons, if the game is good then “Bonus”.

[@davidwaybright]

Right?

[@ProfOfHifi]

It's cute. And feels like a 3D version of Yomi. I liked Yomi, so i expect this could be a very fun game.

Google Up: Terra Mystica: Age of Innovation

Admission time. I still haven't played that game at the table. I've gotten a couple games in online, but still need to have the IRL experience. Maybe this expansion will get that to happen.

That street fighter game looks like a reskin of Krosmaster

I'm excited for Fuji Koro

[@davidwaybright]

Oh man! I totally forgot about Fuji Koro. That very well may have bumped its way onto my list had I remembered it when doing research. After Gugong, I'm sure Game Brewer games are going to be on everyone's radar.

What's the board game in the background starting with Rey?

[@karaokevideos5418]

Did not know about Clank Legacy, I'm excited for that one!

Whenever I hear a an american speak out a german game title like "Ganz schön clever!" or "Doppelt so clever!" or just the name of a german authour it allways is giving me a good laugh.
