U.S. haul and ZERO sense | board games

EZBoardGames 2025-09-26 | Hi players!
In this video I would like to share with you what I get from my last trip to the U.S. and why I'm starting to try and find solutions to my problem- buying expansions to games that I've never played.. To me it makes zero sense and I guess that most of the time I'm just trying to find some excuses to why I do that.
Let me know what do you think and if you have the same 'problem'.

Happy gaming,
Asaf

7 games Alex DOES NOT deserve to have | feat. @BoardGameCo

EZBoardGames 2025-09-13 | Hi players!
In this (totally humoristic) video I'm being hosted in Alex's studio, and I chose 7 games that I think Alex does NOT deserve to have in his collection.
In most cases, I just think that he doesn't pay enough attention to them or does not play them enough.
Please keep in mind that this is just a video for fun and nothing should be taken here seriously.
Thank you @BoardGameCo for another wonderful time making a video together. I absolutely loved it :)

Happy gaming,

1st clarification: I probably should have done only 1 noise roll when fighting the Cultist. It's a bit confusing with the way the Automatic Shotgun weapon card is written. After dealing the 2nd hit, the hit roll is just a 'check' so since I deactivated his skill card, no noise roll should have been executed after the 1st one.

2nd clarification: This is a bit of an extreme edge case. First I have to activate the Xyrian that is in the same room as I am, just like I did. I think I should have declared the 2nd Xyrian as part of the Other Xyrians and then continue and activating them aswell. In any case, there's no way He should not have been activated.

Fate of Venterra board game | preview | first impressions

EZBoardGames 2025-03-11 | Hi players!
In this video I have a first look, preview and first impressions for a new title that is called Fate of Venterra.
In this game we have a bit of everything- dudes on the map, quests, exploration, combat, civ upgrades, action selection and more..
Feel free to let me know what did you think of the game.
This video was filmed a few weeks ago when it did not say that this is a 4X game in their KS page, so just to correct something that I have said in the video- I do not think this is a 4X game. Take it in consideration..

2 small corrections: the first one is when I reveal the Discovery tile, I on porpuse ignored the other effect in it just because I didn't want to go into it, but different Discovery tile will have a different effect or two.
The second correction is just by name- when a player passes, they will do something that is called "Management Stage," not "Management Sub-phase."
