How do you decide on your next game? (feddit.de)

I am in the market for a new game but struggle a bit to decide which one! Most of the reviewers on youtube I find obnoxious, trying to hard to be funny and often not really useful. How do you decide? Especially if you cannot play the game beforehand?

If I see a game that strikes my fancy, I put it on a list to try it on tabletop simulator with my group. Especially during birthday season we try a lot to find a good game for someones shelf, with each their own inspiration. Games we can't test are out of the running, that shit is too expensive to gamble and there is always similar competition that is available. Some games never leave TTS, if we feel like automatic setup and scoring is a big part of making the game fun and not a chore.
