Thank you so much! Wishing a happy holidays right back at you!

It is sooo good!

After so many hours of Ticket To Ride, I think that is baked into gamers. Hopefully not too many lf us are actual track planners.

Arcs was talked about in our 11 to 24 video. We didn't have a chance to play the other three. We are very keen to try Amdromeda's Edge though, because we are big fans of Dwellings.

@ ok I'll watch that video next. Andromeda is soooooo amazing. Deeper combat, more varied assymetry, event decks! Raiders may not have as much personality but they are more involved during games as you don't pick where they span and they have extended range. The return to station action is also much more robust with all of the modules you can acquire while visiting certain bases/ruins. Hopefully you get the deluxe edition to as the mini's and components are A+. The only cons to the game I have are the player trays and game name. Cheers!

Thanks!

Courtisans is terrific! SETI is a honestly big teach. Once you have it down it all makes sense and the theme ties to the actions which helps a lot, but it and Shackleton Base are easily the two heaviest on this list and I probably would stick to fairly avid board gamers for both of those. That said it is a fantastic game.

Haha. I promise it is on the list. We are almost at the bottom of the review pile and then we'll get to more top 10s (or maybe even top 15s)

Thanks! Even though Devo is pointedly Through Being Cool.

7 wonders is a classic! The key with Everdell is to know that it ramps ups as you go, your first round will feel like you didn't do enough, but don't worry, by round 4 you'll do so much.

Crimes would definitely be top half. We haven't played the other two though.

Happy to. You'll really like it!

It was a year full of hidden gems! Folks just had to maybe look for them a bit more. There were still even a few more that were really hard to cut from this list.

From the 10ish channels I follow that doesn't seem like the case to me. Plenty of solid games came out.

We need to have you round again. Matt beat us at everything.

@AlliesorEnemies hahaha. Anytime. Always happy to be designated last place.

They actually make a fairly big difference. Especially the more focused ones like Venice.

Thanks! And we are so glad you like it as well. The card tucking is so smart.

It's not as brain burny as White Castle, but it is quite clever and really pretty.

I'm just glad I don't have have to say it more than once.

He does...that's what the theatrics are for. So he can remember it mid sentence 🤪

@@ryan_here_we_go Idk if this is the case for Shawn, but sometimes I do that too to prevent stuttering lol It only happens with certain words/phrases too lol

It actually does a really nice job in it's weight class.

Fair enough. What would be your top few?

I would put Galaxies at #2 and Pirates at #1, but it's pretty subjective. For me, it could be a coin toss on those two.

Buffalo has been doing some good stuff lately.

Which one did you settle on?

@@AlliesorEnemies I have the original, my brother has the Greek. Played and love both! I want to pick up a second one, and I’ve been stuck between American and World Monsters. I might pick up Greek instead now, even though my brother has it - he lives 4 hours away and it might be the best second Horrified for me and my family! It was helpful to hear that it’s a bit more straightforward with the flow of the game and the rules. Less complicated is best for young gamers!

There are 4 yums and 1 yuck of each type of food. But it isn't shuffled until the end of the day. So sometimes people get yucks early and you know what food is safe, but other times people get lucky in the morning and get a bunch of Yums out and then you are left with a very risky meal. As for the other lovations will have more info soon.

It really rides the line between having the drafting interaction, but also letting you do your own puzzle.

Thank you for sharing. The Aliens version of Legendary has been on our must play list for a while as we are both big fans of the movies. We also love Star Trek, but haven't really looked into Frontiers. Maybe we should.

@ I think you would enjoy both. Frontiers is pretty much a streamlined but direct re-skin of the epic mage knight, highly thematic plus it has both Kirk and Picard. Aliens Legendary is my favorite incarnation of the legendary system, the facedown advancing threats recreates the feeling of the motion trackers going off not knowing if it’s a cat or xenomorph. Plus the added theme of having a character avatar is awesome and immerses you into the game more as you can be eliminated or worse, impregnated with a chestburster and become an alien player.

Raptor is high on our wants list.

We haven't really played the video games, so this isn't stuff we noticed. But I think you are correct.

Thanks!

@@jamesbrazeal3847 thanks!

It doesn't necessarily need expansions, but Fractures of time is a nice level up once you've played a bunch. We probably use it half the time. That said, we never combine expansions anymore, so it is one or the other. We tried we everything at once one time, and I think we are still recovering.

and last question, Anachrony or Voidfall? I'm intimidated by Voidfall but feel it'll be better solo. I plan to use this game as an either solo or occasional 2 player game. I can handle Lacerda games (on mars is a top 3 game for me). Lastly, I backed Revenant and feel knowing more thematically could be a useful factor in consideration. But again, the intimidation.

Thanks for sharing. Hadara is so underrated, it's a great game! We need to play Puerto Rico, it is a huge blind spot.

Thanks!

We haven't played Thunder Road, but it has a gear system similar to Heat.

We haven't played either of those so we can't say. But we do really want to play Thunder Road, it looks awesome.

I haven't heard of that one. We'll have to check it out!

We haven't played the other two, but agreed the War of The Ring is both terrific and very, very long.

We haven't played Awkward Guests, but I can tell you that the set up for Kronologic is like 15 seconds.

Ooooh. We'll look that up.

It doesn't have the same kind of story or sandbox, but it definitely had a very similar cozy vibe.

It exceeded our expectations.

Thank you!

Thanks so much!
