I have an internal rating system I use in evaluating whether a game will stay in my collection. It's fun to go back to the old gems I've covered using this lens. Did I or will I keep them? Have they been banished to the trade/sale pile?
Lots of positive feedback when I did it last time, so I will continue! The next video though will be a typical How to Play / Is It a Gem?

In this video, Tom tries to shoo away the January blues in the only way he knows how; by relentlessly over-playing a gentle game about trains, cars, and people.
We review the latest Stonemaier Game, Vantage! It is simultaneously not a campaign game but also one! It is also a tabletop game but also not in some ways! In Vantage, you play as an asymmetric character to explore an uncharted planet, attempting to complete your team’s mission. You will roll challenge dice and assign them to cards, in a bit of a Euro-style. You have narrative choices by opening the storybooks and discovering what happens to your character. The world of Vantage has many secrets, and a ridiculous amount of cards/art. But how does it hold up after many plays, like how it was intended to played? How does this compare to other cooperative games, or ones with a singular story?
Games featured: Eldritch Horror, Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion, Gloomhaven Buttons and Bugs, Tainted Grail, Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin, Mansions of Madness, Arkham Horror the Dunwich Legacy, Oath, The Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era

Formaggio is the standalone expansion to Fromage, my 2024 Game of the Year. In this review I break down what it adds, how it changes the experience, and the big question: is it worth it?
In this video, I cover:
• What’s new in Formaggio (modules, components, and how it integrates with Fromage)
• How it affects strategy and replayability
• Whether it smooths out the base game or makes it more complicated
• Final verdict: Essential upgrade or optional add-on?
If you love Fromage, or you’re curious whether Formaggio is the “more cheese!” you’ve been craving (or a topping you don’t actually need), this review will help you decide.
