@sundancer – I don’t know that it would necessarily imply that everything not covered by BoW is shite. If you look on the board game side of things, the guys at Shut Up & Sit Down run their website/reviews similar to what @warzan mentioned – Not spending time on things they don’t like.

We’ve been in a bit of a golden age for tabletop and board games for, what, about a decade now? more? There isn’t time to get to all of the worthwhile stuff, let alone the chaff.
Quality across the board (at least from the design and production side) has been continually getting better and better, and there are a lot of interesting ideas coming out as far as rule-sets go.

The guys at BoW praising everything that gets coverage on their channel as being great doesn’t mean it will be great for everyone.

That being said, I would be interested to see them revisit their opinions on games after the shiny newness has worn off. What games are still fun 12 months later and beyond? What games did they have a passionate love affair with for a few months, but haven’t had any interest in since?

I also think being a little more critical of the companies might be worthwhile. This is an expensive hobby, and their are companies out there who may make interesting looking games, but they’ve also been building up a lot of ill-will through failure to deliver projects, lack of communication, that sort of thing.

Maybe promotion of games by those companies should come with a caveat.
(I’m thinking of a specific company – with several names, or ‘divisions’ if you will – that has quite a few KS backers who have been growing increasingly frustrated over said company launching new projects when previous projects are not only still unfulfilled, but at least a year behind schedule + no communication with backers.)
