Just having some fun with this video and going over 30 upcoming games for 2025 that are getting some hype, beyond the typical top 10 list that's just me gushing over every new release. We try and do our best to balance a passion for board games with equal parts hype and realism. This channel is not meant to sell you the latest product. Hopefully some games catch your eye but don't make you empty your wallet. Let me know how wrong I am in the comments!
This is good. I’ve already unwrapped all the games from last year and played them once, so they are all dead to me. Only things that are coming in the future give my life meaning. SETI is coming today, but I’m not looking forward to it anymore because it was released last year and is old news. Unreleased games are still the best!
We place a large compactor beside our gaming table and so the second we played a game, we simple tilt our table and toss it all in the compactor for disposal. There are no games but those that are not yet released.
I predict you will be too mean in Iliad against Kim! I want to play Revenant. Looks good. You know I have to play Fellowship too, seemed to be busy at PAX. Oooh, the anarchy looks interesting too.
This was my first year backing board games and I was pleasantly surprised to see many of the games I backed high up on your list (your S, 4 from your A, and the 2 highest from your B) and 0 from your C & D tiers. 👾 As an additional one, check out Tofu Shifu if you can. It came out of nowhere late last year but it looked like it might be an unexpected gem.
It felt like Lockdown and Retribution were sort of just more of the same and I already own Nemesis. The way it was sold to me was that if you're a Nemesis freak and you're playing this thing weekly, it makes perfect sense, or if you're just buying a Nemesis game for the first time. But I only play Nemesis a few times a year, despite loving it, so I guess it doesn't make sense for me to buy Retribution. Retribution, in my opinion, looks to offer a lot more chucking dice and killing, more akin to a dungeon crawler. The original Nemesis to me felt more like a tense survival game with a traitor mechanic.
@TabletopTurtle that's fair. Looking to buy my first jump into the series. Based on that description I might just go with Lockdown then. Big sucker for the horror theme 😄
In terms of anticipation - Runar from Ludus Magnus - first game ever I've decided to buy blind as preorder and have very high hopes for - currently waiting for my copy to arrive. Just throwing it out there - maybe mighty TTTurtle will also be interested in checking it out in the future. And as a comment- as a RPG player I feel like I should be hyped for Lands of Evershade. HOWEVER. If I am to spent massive ammounts of time, effort and money I'd much rather pick up new RPG system and tailor-craft my own campaign. I won't try and predict how good it will turn out but I don't feel like I'll end up picking it up. Cheers!
I'm not the biggest Stonemaier fan or a fan of Wingspan at all, but anyone who calls him out for cashing in or making derivative games I'm going to ask for people to be consistent: how do you feel about the Great Western Trails? Or Ticket to Rides? I realize you were doing that bit for humour, but that was a considerable side rant you went on and not even justified if you don't acknowledge those other derivatives in the same breath. I don't like any of the games I mentioned, but the one that annoyed me was Everdell Farshore.
This list just show me, these list are just totally subjective. You do not like boss battle games so Grimcoven go to C tier. You do not like narrative games: Lands of Evershade go to D tier. You do not really like legacy games, so Floe go to C tier. Actually, you liked and you gave high points to World Order and only C tier? (What the ...???) In the same time, you like the theme of Cyberpunk, which is a big question mark, but you gave it B tier?? I am not even mentioned some poorly designed or ugly games you gave S, A or B tier. What was this list?? OMG.

after a video this good you best belive im smashing that like button
Do not tell me you forgot to smash the subscribe button too!?
Thanks so much for featuring Galactic Cruise. I hope it remains A-tier (or slides in up to S-tier) after you play it. 🚀
Of course! Hopefully we can get our hands on it when it eventually hits retail. Looks fun.
That ending haha. Love it, great content as always.
Great video! Great way to preview this years coming games!! And as a Monty Python fan… I must choose SpamSpan
I'd recommend the spam sausage with spam if you don't like spam as it don't have much spam in it.
@@TabletopTurtle Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!
Awesome video, really informative and entertaining!
Thanks!
Glad you saw through Lands of Evershade. My most anticipated from crowdfunding is Arydia and Dice Throne X-Men.
I'll have to look into Arydia more, although cooperative games never go over well in this household.
Maybe, it is something, not for everyone. It does not mean it is bad.
I predict you will be too mean in Iliad against Kim!

No prediction could be safer bet.

Nemesis Retribution is also due 2025 I belive. Any thoughts on that? Cool vid! 😄

Another Masterpiece 👏👏.
I tip my hat to you good Sir 🎩
Really hyped for Speakeasy!!
Wish you guys were going to level up in NJ. Spice things up a bit!!
Jillian, we don't even know what that is! Fill us in!
Deep regrets: mounting fish and pushing too hard. Definitely sounds regrettable.

Yes, I'm aware of those hugely popular and successful games. I'm just having a laugh.
Cool lost but you’re missing the 2025 S-Tier game Build-a-Cult! C’mon?!
I believe that's the primary goal of every TH-camr.
Oh, World Order seems great.
Where is Metal Gear Solid ?!)) Boss battler which will change your DNA!
Ranking ganes you have not played..entertaining...maybe. weird and non sensical? Yes
There are plenty of 2025 hype videos out there to watch. It's just nonsensical to you, and that's okay.
This list just show me, these list are just totally subjective.

In the same time, you like the theme of Cyberpunk, which is a big question mark, but you gave it B tier?? I am not even mentioned some poorly designed or ugly games you gave S, A or B tier.
What was this list?? OMG.
I thought this video was great.
