Join me for a special post-Christmas video as I reflect on an amazing year for the channel, share my favorite games of the year (both historical and non-historical), and give a sneak peek at what’s coming up next. With 180k views and 1.5k new subscribers in 2024, the channel continues to grow, and I couldn’t be more thankful for your support!

I’ll dive into highlights like the Clean Wehrmacht video, which inspired a new podcast series, and the A Gest of Robin Hood unboxing. I’ll also share my favorite games of the year, from Cannes and Harmonies to Pax Penning and Napoleon Invades Spain. On the game design front, I’ve been working on exciting projects like With The Hammer and Swill.

Thanks to your generous support on Ko-Fi, I’ve kept the channel independent and unmonetized, investing in new equipment to improve content quality. Here’s to an even better 2025!
