Is AI ruining board games, or is it the future of the hobby? In this video, we tackle the growing debate around AI in board games and ask the question everyone seems to have an opinion on: AI in board games – yes or no?

From AI-generated art and board game design tools to playtesting, writing, and idea generation, artificial intelligence is starting to show up all over the tabletop world. But does it actually make games better, faster, and more accessible, or does it strip away the creativity and soul that make board games special in the first place?

In this video, we break down the history of AI, the different ways it’s being used in modern board gaming, the biggest pros and cons, and the ethical arguments surrounding AI-created content in tabletop games. Whether you love the idea, hate it, or are still undecided, this video dives into both sides of the argument.

If you’re into board games, tabletop gaming, board game design, AI tools, and gaming debate videos, this one’s for you.

What do you think — is AI good for board games, or should it stay out of the hobby? Drop your opinion in the comments.

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.
