Not all great board games get the hype they deserve! In this video, I’m reviewing 3 underrated, under-the-radar board games that completely overachieved and surprised me with how good they are!
The Bitewing duo of Gingham and Gazebo in their latest offering on crowdfunding in April. The abstract stylings with a thematic incorporation: one as an insect gathering sweets and another in the line of the famous tile laying Knizia's only this time with a domino like approach. One of these might even be one of the best games I've played in 2025, but which one might surprise you!
Then we're talking the latest the pirate side of things with an expansion to the Lying Pirates saga in the form of the expansion Cities of Greed! This time we're adding a city based bonus or penalty in the form of this liars dice style take that race around the ocean!
