Step back into one of the most influential strategy board games ever made with this Awaken Realms Puerto Rico Special Edition Board Game Review. In this video, we take a deep dive into the deluxe reprint from Awaken Realms, breaking down what’s new, what’s improved, and whether this premium edition is truly worth your money.

We’ll cover component quality, upgraded artwork, production value, rules clarity, and—most importantly—how Puerto Rico holds up in today’s modern board gaming landscape.

This video was meant to be our Top 10 Big Box / Euro board games of the year. But this year we couldn't quite get there, but it wasn't from a lack of trying! For some reason we didn't have as much luck in 2025 finding heavier games that resonated with us... BUT we did find 5 that we truly enjoyed and wanted to share with you. Plus, we talk through some brief thoughts on some newer titles that didn't make the list.

Rating the Gems I've Covered #1 — Board Game Gibber

✇Board Gems
Von: Board Gems
03. Januar 2026 um 19:15

💾

Did you know I have a (not so) super-secret rating system? I do rate on BoardGameGeek via their guidelines (how much I want to play) but my own four-star rating system is how much I want to OWN them.

In this video I go over some of the earliest games I've covered. Would I, could I, do I still own them? Would I actively try to get rid of them, would I accept the right offer if it came along, or are these expected to be in my collection forever?

00:00 Intro ▶️
03:17 My Rating System ⭐️
06:14 Ave Caesar, Rose King, Kingdoms 👑
06:49 Ra: The Dice Game 🎲
08:34 Fresh Fish 🐟
10:45 Uptown / Blockers 🎩
11:49 In the Shadow of the Emperor 🫅
13:39 Martinique 🏝️
14:35 Black Friday 📉
15:45 Avanti 🚗
17:11 Oasis 🐫
18:45 Powerboats 🚤
20:44 Lord of the Rings 💍

Trying something different with this video, because I'm a little bored!

Pour cette review spéciale Noël, Homo Ludens change de configuration : autour de la table, mes nièces Camille et Lisa, ainsi que mon frère Nicolas, pour découvrir et discuter ensemble de Star Wars: Battle of Hoth.

Le jeu propose des affrontements héroïques et rapides de figurines, situés sur la planète glacée Hoth, et recrée l’une des scènes les plus emblématiques de Star Wars: L’Empire contre-attaque. Basé sur le système Command & Colors, il repose sur une mécanique accessible mais tendue : à chaque tour, les joueurs choisissent des cartes de commandement pour activer leurs unités, manœuvrer sur le champ de bataille et résoudre les combats.

La boîte inclut 17 scénarios, permettant de rejouer la bataille sous différents angles. Pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent aller plus loin, le jeu propose également l’ajout de cartes Leader, mettant en scène des personnages iconiques de la saga, ainsi que deux campagnes multi-scénarios où les succès et les échecs influencent les affrontements suivants.

Dans cette vidéo, nous abordons le jeu avec un regard familial et intergénérationnel : accessibilité pour des joueuses et joueurs plus jeunes, lisibilité des règles, plaisir de jeu, mais aussi ce que Battle of Hoth apporte à la longue tradition des jeux Command & Colors et des adaptations Star Wars.

New Year Rant 2026

The so-called Golden Age of board games is over… and it didn’t die quietly.

In this video, we break down exactly why modern board gaming has lost its spark—from bloated Kickstarter campaigns and endless deluxe reprints, to recycled mechanics, shallow designs, and hype-driven reviews. What was once a creative renaissance has become an assembly line of overpriced boxes and forgettable experiences.

We’ll look at:

Why innovation has slowed to a crawl

How crowdfunding changed incentives for designers and publishers

The rise of “content over craft” game design

Why bigger, heavier, and shinier doesn’t mean better

Whether board gaming can recover—or if this is the new normal

This isn’t nostalgia for the past or blind cynicism—it’s a hard look at where board gaming is right now and why many players are quietly burning out. If you love board games but feel something’s gone wrong, this video is for you.
