By the very nature of this list, it's usually very 'early days' for these games, i.e. nobody has played them, there's very little information on some etc. By the time they're actually available, we/you may have forgotten about them. Have you considered doing a lookback video, e.g. going through all the games you talked about in the Oct 2020 Games Radar vlog (or Oct 2019 Games Radar if it existed!) and giving some updated thoughts on them?
It's probably too much work, so I understand, but I think it would be really interesting to revisit those games- some of them we've probably heard of once (in your videos) and then never again!

I'm super excited for Brian Boru! I really hope the mechanisms mix well together

Of these, Ostia is the most intriguing. I very much enjoy both Trajan and Crusaders.

48:07 It’s Solar 1-7-5, not 1-5-7... Yeah, I know, I am just giving you a hard time.

Brian Boru looks so good!! I love trick taking and I'm always interested to see when trick taking games utilize a board

[jaapnijhof]

Wow, what a lot of new games. Thank you for sorting it out and keeping us up to date.

[jeffhiatt]

Thanks. Always enjoy your Radar videos.

I can’t wait for Free Radicals to come out and for people to experience it!

45:19 Did you see Earthenwar on Kickstarter? That looks like a cool game (which I backed)!

[JJ_TheGreat]

45:10 Wow! I never realized that you had designed a couple games - Mutation and Nanogrid.

Thank you for the spotlight on Bridge City Poker. To have been mentioned in the same breath as Tichu and Scout made my heart skip a beat. Those games are a huge part of my life! You’re awesome. 🙂🙏🏻

Me: sweet a new blog by jon I'll listen while getting ready for game night I have 20 minutes to kill.
Jon: posts hour long video
:O

I love rats. They're the best. I'm so excited that there's finally a game where rats don't mean "plague."

Thanks for mentioning Free Radicals, I think you'll like it.

Great to see games on your radar. I thought all you did was do run throughs and rules overviews. I like to see this side of your channel. Awesome sauce!!
