Not all great board games get the hype they deserve! In this video, I’m reviewing 4 underrated, under-the-radar board games that completely overachieved and surprised me with how good they are!

Two of the best crowdfunded games I've played so far in 2025: Fame & Fable and Companion Quest giving you some tableau management/engine build in two completely different ways, one card driven competitive and the other dice rolling cooperative.

Then we're talking the latest of the wave makers in the tile laying city building scape of Cities from Devir as well as one of the best light weight/take that style games from the past year in Survive the Island!

If you love discovering hidden gem board games that play better than expected, you won’t want to miss these!
