thanks guys ... i wish more you tubers would play older games
@@ronaldbestshirt9592 thank you so much. We love discovering older, less hyped games. These videos may not get the views newer games get, but we love them ♥️
Looks interesting! We will check out more on the campaign page ☺️ thanks for the preview 💜
@@Board_Game_Beans woohoo♥️
Awesome video! Great to have you two on board the Treasure Fleet 🚢. Your pronunciation of Zheng He is probably better than mine! 😄
@@ultimate-voyage ha ha ha, thanks 😆. And thank you for allowing us this opportunity♥️
Thank you for playing and sharing. Glad y'all enjoyed it!
Our absolute pleasure, and yes, we loved this cute little card game. Can't wait to play it again ♥️
❤❤❤
Ahh I’m bummed we missed the live of this yesterday! We were at a corn maze 🌽🎃 I absolutely love spooky season games! 🦇👻🕸️ I had originally found your channel bc I was looking for reviews of the Halloween themed Welcome To expansion - I watched your video and became a fan of you guys immediately! 😊
Oh my gosh, that is so kind of you♥️ thank you. Yes, we love spooky themed games too, but your current maze sounds super fun. Don't worry, we should be doing one more spooky live stream before Halloween😜
Thank you so much for your kind words! Cari~😘 It's reasonable to miss the stream since you were in a corn maze, it sounds fun, though I'd be too frightened to start the maze. 😅
#10 Scoville, a great gardening game about Peppers. A bit of auction, a bit of Pepper placement, and filling orders to score points. One of the my first ever modern games I bought myself. #9 Century Spice Road #8 7 Wonders: Architects #7 Splendor Duel #6 Cascadia #5 Point City #4 Space Base (with or without expansions) #3 Orleans #2 Stone Age: Anniversary Edition #1 Wingspan
Ha, see Judie, look where Orleans is 😆😆😆😆..... Seriously though, thanks for sharing. Great list
@@TheNerdShelves I could still see my top 3, 4, or 5 games move up to #1 by next year. It definitely helps when you get to play the game more.
At 2:03:43 Judy moves her ship 2 spaces to the final 14-point spot but doesn't pay for or complete the shipping contracts required to do that, I think?
Oh really? That's quite possible. Mistakes happen, especially when streaming, lol... I'll take a look later and see what happened. Thanks for the heads up 😊
wonderful
Thank you♥️
Love love love this game
Pretty good eh
Speaking of Canadian shows - Have to say my ultimate favorite has to be The Red Green Show🥰🤣
oh ya, that's a good one
Troyes is awesome. In my top 5 for sure.
It really is fantastic, isn't it? Thanks for watching and thank you for your comment.
Just bought Yak yesterday.
@@JeremyJohnsonmcmxcAD that's great. This game have us so many laughs
Im a bit late to the episode - But hope Judie is feeling lots better🥰😇 Just getting over a cold myself - Sitting back to watch another awesome Nerd Shelves episode🥰🥰😇😇 Ty ty for all the awesome playthroughs🥰🥰😇😇 Also - For a Halloween game maybe try Zombie Panic🥰😇
@@saraann8140 ohhh, thanks for the Halloween suggestion. Hope you're feeling better.
@@TheNerdShelves Sorry I made a mistake on the games title - Its Dead Panic - Still its zombies so woo-hoo🥰
Oh, no worries. I'll try to check it out.
Thanks for the review :)
@@TpDgreat our absolute pleasure. Thanks for watching😊
Thanks TpDgreat. Hope you enjoyed it.❤
What a finish. Great job to you both
@@DJDan07 wasn't it though? Another 1 pointer. Brilliant♥️
😂🎉
Great video! Looked like a lot of fun.
@@pamd9834 thanks Pam. Super fun game
Thanks Pam, it was fun for two. Hope to try more player count.
Ark Nova just missed out on my top 10, possibly because we play 4 players and it takes all evening. But here is my top 10 1 Everdell 2 Too Many Bones 3 Lost Ruins of Arnak 4 The Castles of Burgundy 5 Dorfromantik: The Board Game 6 Barrage 7 Seize the Bean 8 Mycelia 9 Wingspan 10 Carcassonne
Ya, I can definitely see that about Ark Nova at 4 players. Thank you so much for sharing your list.
Awwww thank you so much for joining us in this journey. And thank you for all of your comments. So glad you've joined our regular "chat squad!" Love having you around♥️
The top 10!!!!! 🤩 Yaaaay!! How amazing that Istanbul was no. 7 and Scythe no. 3 on both lists!!! Ahahah Amazing and so fluffing cute!!! 😍 “My favourite game of all time!!!” 🤣 We get it! It’s difficult when we like lots of games to even define the best one for us! It’s like all these top 10 ones could have been THE favourites as in no. 1, all together! Ahah What a great adventure this was, to see your two Top 100 lists, One day we will have played enough games to make a top 100 too! Ahahah And a big thank you for adding b-roll of the games! Really! We really love when there’s some overview of the game, because it saves us from opening BGG on our phones while we watch the videos lol, We appreciate the extra work on that! Editing on a video like this with so many games takes ages!
love the list, i was surprised that the Taverns of Tiefenthal was mentioned and its on the top 10 never played the game but i really like the theme of this game but read so many cons about it and most people say u need an expansion for it to be great which im not a fan of, im not into buying expansions. i didnt like Ark Nova its a little fiddly for my taste maybe i need to try it on BGA, never played Lost Ruins of arnak yet. but anyway my top 5 is :) 1 Bloodrage 2 Wingspan 3 Agricola 4 Teraforming Mars 5 Clank!
Interesting, I've never played the expansion of Taverns and never felt mine it needed it.. In fact, we don't even play with all of the modules of the base game. Then you so much for sharing your top 5 and fit watching the video ♥️
Im also a mechanic over theme guy but lately i find if i dont enjoy the theme then its too dry and boring
I think I have to agree with this whole-heartedly ♥️
great list thanks guys.. when a game hits right for me i describe it as "the game sings to me"...here's my list 1 Maracaibo 2 Lisboa 3 Hamburg 4 Boonlake 5 Ark Nova 6 Blackout: Hong Kong 7 Grand Austria Hotel 8 Marrakesh 9 Great Western Trail: Second Edition 10 Amsterdam
@@ronaldbestshirt9592 amazing list. I actually haven't played a couple of those, but there are some great games there. Thank you for sharing
Great job. Love the entire 100, thanks for taking me along on your journey. Great 10. So many cross overs.
Ya, that was a wild ride eh? Thanks for sticking with us through the entire journey.
Great lists! Finally made it to the end! I've enjoyed watching!!!
@@eVanDiesel ha ha ha, yup it took a while. Awesome, thank you for sticking with us♥️
Great finish to two great lists. Thanks.
I thought so too. So much fun. It was quite a run, but super excited to see the top 10s.... Thanks for driving with us.
I respect your picks. FYI, the game Fortune and Glory, is definitely an Indiana Jones themed game, even more than Lost Ruins of Arnak. The expansion adds Nazis and mobsters. You visit ruins, encounter dangerous adventures along the way, visit cities around the world and variable player powers keeps it fresh.
Oooohhhh, interesting. Thanks for the tip, haven't played it yet.
Thanks for the recommendation, Sohodt1, have you ranked your top 10 games? If you have, what are on yours?
Love Ark Nova and Arnak. Both on my top 5!
@@98BoardGames both are brilliant games♥️
98boardgsmes, both got its beauty, that's for sure. You have cross over with Michael. Yay~
I love you guy's love for board games and for each other!
Right back at you♥️. Thank you so much for watching, and your kind words😊
Thanks, Dwayne and Alicia.❤❤

Welcome Franktitzler2689, have you rank your games? What are on your top 10?
"You had me at assassinate other meeples" 😂
Ha ha ha, yup, that's Judie 😍
Uh oh, is that going on the merchant?😅
Yey! So many crossovers with my list... 5 Tribes - my top 1 Cascadia - my top 6 Meadow - my top 10 Honey Buzz - my top 14 Istanbul (Big Box) - my top 18 Castles of Burgundy will be my next purchase. Btw, here's my top 10 of 2024 1. 5 Tribes 2. Dune Imperium Uprising 3. The White Castle 4. Heat: Pedal to the Metal 5. Viticulture with Tuscany 6. Cascadia 7. Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest 8. Concordia 9. Watergate 10. Meadow
Oh wow, fantastic list. Thanks for sharing♥️
That's an awesome list. I need to try Concordia.😊😊
"The Nerd Shelves Community Top 10" is such a powerful and bonding title. I love it!! ❤Thank you for analyzing the list, this is so cool!
I agree!
very nice choice for number 1 Judie, my no1 is Ruins of Arnak too sharing no1 with Robinson Crusoe. And because of you putting Arnak on 1 and you both are amazing, i just subscribed. Best regards 🙂
@@bbdrumming ha ha ha, Phew, good work Judie 😆😆😆... But seriously, then you so much for the support. We really appreciate it♥️
Yay, bbdrumming~ thank you!! Arnak! Arnak! Arnak! 🎉❤
I was excited to see your top 10’s! Just more games I’d like to try.
Ha ha ha, I hope you like them if you get a chance to play. Thank you so much for watching♥️
TARAdactyl56~ thank you! Have you ranked your top 10? What are on yours? I have to check out a lot of games from our Chat Squad (audience) top 10 list, too. There are soooo many games I haven't try.
Judie and I have many games in common (at least as far as my top 20 are concerned). More than a few with Michael too. - CB
Oh nice. What are your top 10?
Yay Chris! Though I hope you have Orléans and Castles Of Burgundy on your top 20, for some reason, Pub Meeple ranked it lower (55 and 72), I do think they deserved to be on my top 20. 😅
You GUYS! Thanks for the continued Honey Buzz love. :)
Of course. We love love love it♥️
Thank you for making such fun game, Paul! ❤
Watching this video made it 100% clear why I love following your channel! The two of you clearly have a close connection, and it comes through loud and clear in your videos. And the fact that so many of your Top 10 games overlap is not a surprise. Wonderful video(s) and Top 100 list. Keep up the great work, and keep having fun playing games together!
Awwwww thank you thank you thank you. We miss you!
Bradley~ thank you for your continuous support, that means a lot. ❤
