Rebirth Review, Game of the Year 2024 Contender – No Questions Asked, No Doubt About it.
In this video we review Rebirth by Mighty Boards! Rebirth is a new, tile-laying board game from Reiner Knizia. The game revitalizes this classic genre by combining Knizia’s elegant mechanics with Mighty Boards’ evocative world building. The result is a eurogame with smooth gameplay, set in a lush and hopeful future.
Each turn, players draw a tile from their supply and place it strategically on the board. These tiles represent your clan’s contribution to rebuilding the land. Rebirth rewards strategic foresight and clever tactical play, with tougher decisions emerging over the course of the game.
We love Rebirth, and it’s one of our picks for Game of the Year 2024 for our intermediate board games.

One of the best games of the year.
Also try Cascadero! There is no luck and it gave me the same level of satisfaction, even higher because you can calculate everything and be really mean!
Great review, thank you.
Great video guys! Wish I had hit that Kickstarter now!!
As a huge Knizia fan, I thought maybe I had enough of his tile layers and I could pass on what looked to be a pretty but maybe unnecessary game. Unfortunately your review makes me realize I need to buy still one more Knizia tile layer. Thanks for the enthusiasm—it’s clear how you feel about this, and you clearly like and play other Knizia titles. This was a really helpful video. I’ll have to check out more of your content.
I was thinking for a while about the randomness of only being able to pick one tile, and wondered why not pick 3 tiles to allow more control and choice in one’s round (there such a variant for Carcassonne for instance) to make it more strategic, but then you pointed out that there are only 3 types of tiles anyway, and so maybe not really improving things so much. In the end, it’s mostly a fun and accessible game with enough strategy/puzzle to make it interesting for everyone without draining your brain. Similarly with the cathedral random goal pick, if too random, could house rule a 3 goal market or allow to pick the top 2-3 goals to allow for choice that may be better fit to a player’s game. But then even here, the point is to target cathedrals early…or prioritize other things but take the risk of getting “bad” goals for you. All those seem decent rules but in the end the game seems to present interesting choices no matter what… sorry long day and kinda rambling 😅😂 I suppose the answer to those points is…if Scotland seems too simple and not strategic enough for your gaming party….play Ireland!! 😁 (Iiiirrrrrrreland Iiiiiiiiiiireland together standing strooooonnng! 😜)
Great game, great video!! Do you think it’s worth getting the KS version for an extra 10-15€/£ not so much for the cloth bags and boxes but to get the thicker tiles? Or the retail ones are just good enough?
Despite the massive Essen haul, we played this and kinda stopped working through the rest of the pile of shame. It's so slick and quick – we are very very impressed 🙂
Hi! You think its a good game for 2 players only? Just me and my spouse most of the time
In another hot year of releases this is certainly a strong contender for game of the year! No spoilers from me though 😃
Thanks for the shout out guys, I really appreciate all your comments! Great overview, review and recommendations. Seal of Excellence 🙌 woohoo
Great presentation of the game by the way!
Interesting,are there distinct paths to victory or like perhaps a game of Go, is it more tactical based on how the board develops? Do you think the player interaction in the Ireland game allows for a comeback mechanism if someone seems to be getting ahead?
