The Isofarian Guard and Frosthaven will take up the back half of 2023 for me. However, I'm anxiously awaiting Earthborne Rangers and eager to see how much that grabs me. Thanks for the video!

Best game of the year so far, for me, is The Witcher: Old World. Honorable mention: MotU Clash for Eternia Also, that small box for Marvel Zombies allows you to play the big box as the heroes (so not just the small box experience). It was worth picking up back then as it has allowed me to play as the heroes for the past 6 months. Might not be worth grabbing now, with wave 2 so eminent...

In the first 6 months of 2023 I have managed 23 new to me games. Of those my top 5 are: 5; Isle of Sky: From Chieftain to King. 4; Summer Camp. 3; Lost Ruins of Arnak. 2; Flamecraft. 1; Earth.

Not sure how the first half of 2022 looked, but there are two new 2023 games in the BGG top 500 (Earth and Darwin’s Journey). Currently there are 19 games from 2022 in top 500. Still a lot of 2023 to go and catch up. I would say Disney Lorcana is my #1 and only been playing with half the cards from set 1. Earth would come in second. What are your overall thoughts for quality of board games in 2023 so far? Should publishers release more games in first part of year?

i like a lot of your list, but i have not enjoyed D.E.I one bit. I felt it was shallow and obvious the OP factions. The fault of design and lack of actions just lost its hope for me. I know you get 6 but those 6 just feel weak and not as satisfying as other area control games out there.

Isn’t that every campaign game? The battle systems become repetitive over time. For the content you get, it’s really not that expensive. But that is the nature of board games, especially campaign games. I am glad for the updated rules to make the grind a little smoother.

It’s an open world RPG video game in a box. Grinding is standard fair. The storytelling is amazing. If you can handle the table space and the fact that unlike video games, you have to manage the rules and upkeep yourself, you will not be disappointed. Also, it’s expensive, but jam packed with quality components, boxes and trays for fast setup and game saves, and fantastic support from the creators of the game. Totally worth it.
@arthurdent9281

Like with any open world video game, once doing all the grindy stuff stops being fun and becomes a chore to get some reward, then I'm done with the game and move on to something else.
