Board games these days are no stranger to HYPE. It feels like every year, some game gets super hyped, with tons of discussion here and on bgg and the game becomes hard to acquire. eg. In 2021-22 it was Ark Nova.

What games have had the longest periods of hype from your perspective?

Edit: and was the hype warranted in your opinion?
