One year ago, I played a set of board games that I was excited about, hyped for, and had high hopes for. But now in 2025, how have they held up? In this video, I take a brutally honest look back at the games I played in early 2024 – and let’s just say, only one (or two) truly stood the test of time. From disappointments to fading hype, I’m breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and what I think you should still care about.

Whether you're a longtime tabletop gamer or new to the hobby, this video will help you look critically at board game hype and long-term replayability.

Thanks for watching!
