    It's interesting that as we grew closer to number one, the differences in our tastes began to show more and more. I know Calvin very much dislikes both Cartegena and Bohnanza, both of which are in my top 10, and I wasn't liking many games that were in his top 20. Luis and I basically have completely different tastes. I now have a better understanding as to why. He likes chaos and luck and I don't. He gave Yukon Airways a rating of 5 after we played it, which just blew my mind because I thought it was great. But not much luck or chaos in Yukon Airways. 🙂 I guess we will crossover more on games that each of us think is just okay.

My #36 THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH! Calvin #7. My #75. Luis = 1 AZUL! Luis #12. My #26. Of your games, I have played… THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH: New Crossover! GLOW: As Luis stated, this game is very much dependent on luck, therefore, not a game for me. AND it is Uh-uh-uh-ug-ly as all get out! Ugly, ugly, ugly! ATLANTIS RISING: Played it once. It was okay. ARK NOVA: If it was 2 hours or less, I would like it, but at 5 hours with 3 players, no thanks. There aren't many games that can hold my attention after 2 hours. WINGSPAN: Had a horrible teach on my first and only game. ("You'll learn as you go.") Therefore, it was not a fun experience. The bird feeder is stupid. However, I wouldn't mind playing again, now that I know the rules. The bird theme is fine with me. Theme matters very little to me, I play for the mechanics. CAVERNA: Own it and like it. Uwe Rosenberg is great! Bohnanza, Codenames, Patchwork, Mama Mia!, Fields of Arle, Bean Trader, plus many games I know I would like, but have yet to play. One day I will get to all of them! Many of these games I would like to try, but I doubt any of them would make my top 100, much less my top 10! 😄 Thunder Road Vendetta, Legends of Andor, Scythe, Everdell, Everdell Farshore, and Dune Imperium.

      Further tongue-in-cheek ruminations: QUARTO: I hate the fact that you are forced to give your opponent the winning piece. It's like purposefully closing your finger in a car door! 😜If I really wanted to win this game, each turn would take 5 minutes of serious analysis paralysis. No thanks, I’d rather go to work. 😉 BANG! I shoot you! I shoot you again! And I shoot you again! Mix in social deduction - which I also hate - and player elimination, and this is the perfect game that was specifically made for me to hate. AND it is WAY too long for what it is.🙄 MACHI KORO: I hated this game within 2 minutes of play. Dice determine everything and I HATE dice that has no means of mitigation. I played once and will Never Ever Ever play again. I won’t even watch this being played. It kills brain cells! 😁 And though it shouldn’t have to be stated: Just because I hate a game, that doesn’t mean that you should, or that I think you are less of a person for liking it. It’s just my own stupid opinion. 😇Everyone has different tastes, which is why there are so many board game categories. 👍 Like what you like and hate what you hate. 🙂

    @aaronnunnally4634 4 місяці тому

    Quarto is such a good game. To answer your question, you can't remove an opponent's pieces from the board because the pieces don't belong to any particular player. Each piece has 4 characteristics (light/dark, tall/short, rectangular/circular, solid/hollow). Winner is first person to create 4 in a row of any one element, but you don't choose your piece. Your opponents chooses which piece you are going to place on the board.

    About Uno...I miss playing for points. We used to either lose the points left in our hands or gain the ones left in everyone else's hands. To me that adds a bit of strategy because you need to get rid your your high point cards (like Wild Draw Four). It is something you can play with non-gamers.

      Agree keeping score was more strategic. I am sure most people don’t play Uno by the rules they make house rules. Thanks for the comment.

    Continuing to play along… 90. Haggis 89; Mexica 88. Keyflower 87. For Sale 86. The Golden City 85. China Moon 84. Foodie Forest 83. Bacon 82. Abandon Ship 81. Carpe Diem Of your games, I have played… Rook: Not on my list, but I do enjoy this game.👍 Uno: Liked it as a kid. Now I see it as more of an activity begrudgingly performed on Thanksgiving.😉 Games I would like to try… The Crew - Really want to play this one! Western Legends: Also high on my “want to” list. Legacy of Dragonholt: Sounds like “choose your own adventure.” I’m in. Dixit - Can’t believe I still haven’t played this. Everdell: Not sure I would like it if it is tableau building, but do want to give it a try. Crossovers since 100: Zero. 😆

    Yeah, my Rook only lists variants for different player counts. Uno Attack is the one you're thinking of with the machine that spits out cards. I think it makes the game way too long. I really like The Crew and Fluxx on your lists, unless Luis has original Fluxx as a separate entry. Haven't played Marvel Fluxx. I agree, it's not a game you should take seriously. You must be prepared that your plans can go up in flames at any moment.

    Thanks for your interesting lists! I learned about some new ones from your lists, so far. Calvin, you mentioned you played some pinball back in the day. Have you heard about Friedemann Friese’s recent release that gives a pinball vibe: “ Freaky Frogs From Outaspace”? It’s naturally a solo game. It seems to be well received by some, but there is a minority opinion of those who aren’t fans. It is recommended by a fan that persons watch JonGetsGames/Happy Hexagon play through to gain a good initial grasp of the game.

    Nice video! I'm going to play along. I'm guessing only 2 or 3 crossovers with each of you. LOL 100. Kill Doctor Lucky 99. Snow Tails 98. Rum and Pirates 97. San Juan 96. Wooly Wars 95. High Society 94. Niagara 93. Orleans 92. Samurai 91. Linko Of your 20 games, I have played 3. Tsuro - Like it. Azul: Winter's Garden: Decent Roll for the Galaxy: Better than Race for the Galaxy, but alas it has dice. 😂 Games I would like to try. Azul: Summer Pavilion and maybe Redneck Life, just for the experience. 😁

    Played this last night with friends (5 players) and it takes a lot longer than 90 minutes. Over 2 hours for us. One thing i think would speed it up is not to stop on the corners like the instructions says but to pause there to get married and divorced but if you rolled a 10 and only had to move 2 steps to get there complete the steps and continue on to complete the move on the dice. We also figured out half way you can use 3 dice.

    Diamonds is a favorite and I like to use it for newer players since you can always do something no matter what card you play. Others we like are The Crew, Fluxx. Grew up playing Sheepshead and have good family memories as that was our childhood introduction to trick-taking games.

      @@calvinsgotgame8365 Sheepshead is very popular in WI where I grew up. Like Rook, there are several variations of how people play but it has it roots in Germany/Europe so I'm sure was brought over with the immigrants.

    Nice list. “Love Letter” is quite the design with so few cards. Though I have yet to win, I like it and enjoy whenever I do win a round. I’ll take whatever small victories I can. I’ve enjoyed “Scout”, “Coloretto” and “Ohanami” to name a few.

    So many games that could be classified as card games: Terraforming Mars, Race for the Galaxy, Codenames, Citadels, San Juan, etc.. I prefer to think of card games as games that use only cards with numbers. However, this would still include games like Lost Cities and Battle Line. Though I like both of those games, I just don’t think of them as “card” games, even though they definitely are. My favorite card game of all time is Spades. Love Spades! I love setting my opponents! I love giving low bidders overtricks so that when they reach 10, they go back 100 points. I love going Nil with the King of Spades and Making It! That is a rush! (And rarely attempted.) Next - Hearts! Choosing which cards to pass is essential to winning. And shooting the moon is a blast! I also like Stichen, Tichu, Bacon, Rook, Linko, Parade, Red 7, and many others. One of my favorite genres of games!

    • @calvinsgotgame8365

      Absolutely there are many games that could be included especially if you look it up on BGG. I tried to keep it to games that just used cards for most of the game even if they had different mechanics. I also like Spades and Hearts. Thanks for watching and commenting.
