Our 2023 Board Game Predictions!

Boardgames Shut Up and Sit Down
7

Quick summing up for checking next year.

Quinns:

  1. Increased gap between crowdfunded games and retail games. (+15% / -10% but that’s not really measurable.)
  2. No official videogame adaptation published in 2023 is any good. (No SU&SD recommends?)
  3. SU&SD will rave about a VR game.
  4. First 1-player-only game in BGG top 100.
  5. Quinns will video review an RPG
  6. Dominoes!

Tom:

  1. Z-Man announces/publishes a Pandemic Marvel.
  2. Pandemonium Institute announces a new BotC set, rules finished* and playable by 31 October.
  3. Major revamp/rerelease of Tigris & Euphrates.
  4. Two games from 2023 will have entered the BGG top 10.
  5. Great Western Trail NZ prominently includes sheep-shearing. :heavy_check_mark:
  6. A game will be shipped that’s 60lb/27kg+.

* PI swore BotC was rules-finished during the kickstarter, and did 2-3 total rewrites after that, but never mind.
