I don't. I really don't. It's basically just name dropping. If each game would have at least picture of the board and other pictures, it would kind of create yearn to learn more.Now it's like cool, Tom likes this game or doesn't, I have no idea what the game is about or how it plays. These have less information than news section of games that aren't released yet. Also I really really despise the fact there's clock running like this is some kind of race against time to say the least about game and give score of it. If you produce this kind of video, then it's same review a full game in youtube shorts section and be done about it.

"Let’s be real, some games don’t always deserve a deep dive review, unless they’re absolute trash." Sounds like you don't even like games or don't want to know about them, you're just enjoy some stupid 5 second soundbite.

I really like those speedy reviews!

Except there is no pictures of what the games look like.

Great format! At the end I would recommend listing the top 10 game rankings from the video so viewers can easily look into them later instead of having to backtrack in the video. Looking forward to your review of Lynx from Play to Z games in the future (they should be at GenCon, I demo'd and purchased at Origins).

Great succinct descriptions! That is high praise for Ostia, I'll have to look into it more.

Thanks Tom! This is by far my favorite Dice Tower video series. No wasted time allowed!

Damn, Sirens went from a 6 in this video to a 7 in the other video.

Maybe he hadn't played it yet? He described the game as "abstract strategy" here, ehen it is a drafting game. 🤔

Great rapid review. I really want to try Ostia. Looks amazing.

the intro music is so good.. everytime you have new fun tunes.. I like it

Love this format. It's Look Back but instead Look Now 😊

I would love your take on Great Western Trail New Zealand

Man I love this intro track

Best way to go through some quick reviews!

I might argue that Harmonies deserves the excellence award :) (just because of that zen feeling it can pull off ) but hey ... feelings and subjectivity .. i know :) loving this

No review on Furmation of Rome?

Got to disagree on Druids - takes some time to grok and plays very different at different player counts. Understanding the action follow mechanics and setting yourself up to capitalize on other turns is essential. Lots of great mechanics combined in a very different way makes a fun, nuanced game with a ton of interaction. I'd give it a 8. Try it if you can, and make sure to play a few times!

Enjoyed this style of game review. I will take your word for it on how much time it will take. Found the time to be distracting.

Solar Titans is fantastic. At least a 7. :-(

Is the Invincible The Hero Building Game released yet?

Hello there! What is the opening music? :)

Good format. Would be perfect with timestamps

I have to try Ostia.

Can we increase the output next time? Maybe 86 games in 7.5 minutes? Time is money!

I think this is a bit too short for me - I’d like at least a shot of the game/components personally. There is an 8.5 game in there - would like to hear a bit more about it. Just my own opinion

"Food 👉 YEAH! 👉"

Whats the record for most reviews in 15 min? We need stats lol

You should cover your mouth when you say "x minutes" at the beginning and do a audio dub with the actual time 😊

Bummer about the lack of availability for Ostia.

Aaah Tom, why do you make it seem like all the games are easily available? Biohack looks sooooo cool, but getting hands on it will be a nightmare.

They probably don’t. Most of these games will sell less than a few thousand copies. With the amount of uninspiring games that are being shovelled out, I think it’s only a matter of time before the bottom falls out of the board game industry and we see a great reduction in the number of releases.

Noooo…. Perspectives is a game of cooperative genius

Was a little surprised with the criticism, as the described "math" is a small part of just one of the 9 (or 12) episodes.

And still no Septima review?

Again, as I said at the beginning, most of these will likely get more full reviews.

"Smurf and write" really needs to go away 🙄

Tom doing good work as always. There’s too many games coming out. Most of these are going to be forgotten by the end of the year. Just shovelware.
