I am in the market for a new game but struggle a bit to decide which one! Most of the reviewers on youtube I find obnoxious, trying to hard to be funny and often not really useful. How do you decide? Especially if you cannot play the game beforehand?

I and a friend are on the same boat. I think if you really can't try the game you have to be open and consider a time to 'catch' it yourself. We buy and and play games that looks good. Most of them are. Few aren't, but you have to be prepared that a given mechanic didnt catch with you, even games considered awesome.

thank you! Yes, I agree, sometimes you gotta role the dice and just go for it. I might just go to the boardgame shop and browse around. Its what we have done for the last two games. One was amazing (Ark Nova) and another was disappointing (Arnak)
