In this video, we're taking a deep dive into Winter Rabbit board game, a beautiful and unique game rooted in Cherokee folklore. Winter Rabbit funded on Kickstarter and is now landing on game shelves in 2025.In Winter Rabbit, players take on the roles of animal characters from Cherokee fables, like Bear, Otter, and Terrapin, working to prepare their village for a long and harsh winter. You must work together to gather resources and fill the community's Storehouse. If the village isn't ready by the time the final frost falls, everyone loses together. But if you do succeed, only the player who contributed the most (by scoring the most points) claims victory!Gameplay & Key Features:Semi-Cooperative Survival: Explore the core tension of the game where you must help your opponents to prevent a collective loss, even as you compete to be the most helpful and win the game.The Trickster Rabbit: Beware of Rabbit.

Im Done With Board Games .... Bangers Project 2025-05-25 | Falling out of love with board games? You're not alone. In this video, I open up about my struggles with board game burnout and why I’m considering walking away from the hobby entirely. But instead of quitting cold turkey, I'm exploring how to rekindle that spark — by treating the board game hobby like a real relationship. Because sometimes, what we need isn't more games… it's better quality time with the ones we already have.So what's my relationship advice for board gamers? Take a long walk and think about what first drew you in. Reconnect with intimacy — those quiet, meaningful one-on-one moments with a solo game. Spice things up with something bold and different. Take a weekend getaway with a single game and give it your full attention. Role play your way through new mechanics, rediscovering the thrill of the unknown. And if none of that works… maybe it’s time for board game therapy. Let’s talk honestly about losing the spark — and maybe, just maybe, finding it again.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCqr3JhmEHals03yHiyl3pjw/joinSupport my Instagraminstagram.com/boardgamebangers
