Race of the Galaxy with its insane AI is KING

Good list imo. My top 10 ATM is something like: 1. Twilight struggle 2. Ark nova 3. Maria 4. Blood on the clocktower 5. COIN system(fire in the lake) 6. Root 7. The castles of burgundy 8. Pax Pamir 9. Radlands 10. Hegemony Im more into simulations and wargames ATM, moving more away from euros (still can't let go of cob though🫣) Just outside the list would be some good knizia games, 7 wonders system, and the fun casual games like sky team and heat.

The only 2 I've backed this year are Above and Below: Haunted and Root: Homeland. Excited to play both!

I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I just discovered this channel, but Im staying for the board games, I love discovering new ones. Hope you all have a great 2025!!

The whole idea of a FOMO top 3 list made me laugh. Evershade would be by FOMO #1. I decided not to back. Wow was that hard to do… I agree with your reasons.

Yes, it is a must-have. :)

Metal gear was on the playstation not the PS2

I think this is a very nice list, I just would have included obsession with it's 2 expansions, upstairs & downstairs and Wessex, cuz once you add those in, boy oh boy, the game changes completely in the sense that is way more fun, you have flexibility to do what you need, you still are constrained by the lack of available service that is yet to become available in 1 or 2 more turns, BUT, thanks to the new workers, you have new avenues to pivot and improvise, LOVE IT! It's like a super distilled Lacerda game, a true masterpiece 👌

are there single scenarios for this game? or just one large campaign?

I played Blood Rage on steam. The game is quite shadow to me and does not offer deep strategic decisions.

2 to 3 hour Eclipse game? Yeah, right…. Keep dreaming buddy. Last one I was in was 6 hours, and we only did 6 of the 8 rounds before we cut our losses.

Nice Frank, you are on the fast track!

Dig your taste. Subscribed😊. Top 100 list sometime ??

afreed with most of your picks with a couple of twicks, changing aeon tresspass for Oathsworn(since i dont own aeons ) and and getting it higher, and getting gloomhaven somewhere there.

Minis is must have what do you think about this ?

Why do you talk like that?

I hope a top 50/100 video series for next year to upload it to AgeOfRanks website :)

Doesn't the graphic in the video contradict the title of this video? I clicked looking for games released in 2024 and got old games.

But why is, zegmaar, 6 Siege niet in de top 10?

Great Video! Would you recommend Blood Rage for only 2 players?

Skyrise is the only game I got of these 10 ;-)

I was all set to thumb this list as it seemed so excellent and then it was ruined by the #1..........

Congratulations on your lead, William. Next week, I'll catch up with you! (FRANK)

Also - only take the sleeves if you do not take the Premium pledges. If you take the Premium pledge - do not take the sleeves, as you would not be able to use sleeved cards in the dual-layer boards

It is the story of Elden Ring in an AR way...

Yes. Thank you all, we're done here :D

I'm on the same page. I have 3 campaign games i still have to start. I think i will not back this although it was high on my most anticipated list....

I have a ton load of campaign games waiting for me. I’ll skip this time. I have years of play lying around.

"Everything come to rolling dice and I don´t know if i like this." - Channelname: 1d6

My strategy is: 1) give up the $10 gift (some ugly looter mob?). 2) AR will release new game road maps around Feb. You might see new games that will chill down your Evershade fever. 3) if the thirst still has not faded, wait after the 1st shipment and check out the user unboxing and reviews. If everything looks good, pledge all game-play component + premium book upgrade.

Thank you for the video

I promised myself at the start of the year that I’m not backing any more crowdfunders until I’ve made proper progress with the games I have! So I’m enjoying all of the videos but staying away! I have completed this year Tales from the Red Dragon Inn, Kinfire Chronicles, Journeys in Middle Earth, Sleep Gods Distant Skies to name a few… And my thought is I can buy games like this down the line if I still want them.

I like how other commenters mention waiting for a 2.0 campaign. I forget how often that happens for big campaign games. I want to back it but have a surplus of campaign games to play. Most recently, Tidal Blades 2. And Arydia had an update today saying games are about to be on boats! Arydia has a similar ttrpg feel with deeper combat in my opinion. I’m still on the fence knowing LoE won’t fulfill for quite some time. Most likely sometime in 2026. That will give me plenty of time to play my games.

I'm strictly a solo player and I'm really wondering how this plays solo?

The rulebook and scenarios aren’t even finished yet. You all know that, right? Also - Dear reader: This isn’t “it.” This isn’t “the one.” No game is. There is no FOMO. Someone will always sell it at a reasonable price when it’s out, I guarantee you. Finish what you have or look for finished games first and foremost instead of speedrunning a shelf of shame.

The FOMO is hitting me hard with this one, but I already have several campaign games that I haven’t even started yet right now I’m in the middle of Forge, which is pretty awesome. I think my wife will kill me if I spend 400 bucks on a new game when I have ones unopened

Reminds me of ISS Vanguard with even just less combat, why build up your combat skills if you are not going to use them? Just ability checks and keywords to tell you which passage next to read. I do agree to it may be best to wait until the reprint comes around.

I’m unsure about the whole Choose Your Own Adventure style of play. It just doesn’t grab me to flip around in a book all the time. Just too much reading (or listening to app), compared to other games that are more dynamic.

I have played a lot of Andor, only the boardgame version though. I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to win the game within 20 tries unless you overlooked something. I know in Legend 2 (I think) there is an alternative route which you can take to bring the parchment to the tree of songs. The app doesn't look that interesting tbh. I prefer the boardgame itself.

I backed this game! This game seems to be straight up my alley. I like the character building and story driven games. Plus the art is just amazing. I still have games on the shelves to play, which I play with groups. I play Etherfields solo as I like the puzzles. I see Lands of Evershade as a potential to play solo (after Etherfields) or with my wife. Or even with my kid when she gets older. I don't mind if the combat mechanics are on the simple side immersion in a story is just lovely. Greetings from NL 😉👍🏽

May wait for 2.0 after the community have ironed it out as usual.

Hi - your questions are reasonable and I would suggest that you watch the gameplay videos which Awaken Realms released as well as the development diaries which go into good detail too. I am 100% backing this game, and while I have a ton of campaign games, the deep RPG elements and branching story line really appeals to me here.

Simply not. For me now it's worst. Whithout a D20 and attributes...

Still waiting.....

Well, this guy is clueless 😂

The change to wandering monsters is a significant improvement. Characters have been improved, not so messy.

Don’t listen to this guy. The Bad Karmas boss battler game is awesome!! It’s super fun and very immersive!! The Teburu system is fantastic!!

Uff...Difficult video, not to mention the clickbait title. There are some questionable statements about the design of Bad Karmas in the video, so I feel compelled to clarify things. 2:13 - “Bad Karmas brings nothing new to the boss battler genre.” This is factually incorrect. Bad Karmas offers the best stage-boss combination in the genre to date. Neither KDM, ATO, Oathsworn or other titles build the stages in such a way that the boss has real exploration mechanics and the stage feels like it was built for the boss. Be it Gemini with his portals, Virgo with her web of spikes, Leo in the desert where he jumps on car wrecks etc. (where is Dante stronger here?) or Sagittarius climbing along the outside of a burning building...where do the other boss battlers offer that? That's right. Nowhere. Bad Karmas also offers levelable hand cards that only level up through the actions of the heroes themselves. No other boss battler offers this. The boss's stances force cooperative play, because sides that are attacked go out again and effects like “Vulnerable” extend team-friendly effects. In addition to campaign play, there are challenges, one-shots and the editor, with which you can create challenges for each other. Here you really get the feeling that you've never played the final game. The statement above is simply not tenable. 4:12 - Once all the players have acted, the monster activates. Incorrect. The boss activates after each turn. It also happens regularly that the boss occupies additional initiative slots at the beginning. Again, it is questionable whether the final game was played at all after such a statement. In addition, the boss reacts stage-related. Taurus defends his cave and reacts contextually when you move into his cave. How you can then ask at 5:28 whether it's all just a gimmick, then you really have to ask yourself whether anyone has ever played the game themselves or just watched videos. 5:36 - Again the accusation of innovation - see above. Not tenable. 5:51 - Dante is praised for adding height levels. That's Dante's strength? Bad Karmas has that too. Only Bad Karmas has individual terrain for every single boss. Nothing is recycled. Each stage comes with its own terrain, which in turn interacts with the stage and boss in a completely unique way. All other boss battles don't have this - not even Townsfolk Tussle, which uses its terrain very well. 6:10 - The phrase again - no standout elements? Yes - see above. And that's not even all of them. Here you also realize that only pictures are used to judge the profile of the bosses. Please play the game and then tell the audience that the bosses have no profile… 6:50 - The campaign mode is not even mentioned. Once again I have to ask: Have you really played the game? I'll have to ask again. Doesn't seem like it. 8:11 - This is really nonsense. Where is the game just a tech demo? As stated above, the game has numerous modes to offer, numerous tactical options, cooperative play like few boss battlers ever, intelligently built bosses and their stages...
