    Outfoxed has hit legend status in our house. Great one! It led us to playing Little Alchemists which my kids are playing now. We also liked a lot of games from Peaceable Kingdom. Hoot owl Hoot and Mermaid Island were big successes, though they won't push the limits of your kids too much if they're already 4. Dream Home, Catan Jr. And Cora Quest are still played regularly. Great video!

  • @johnpsanchez
    @johnpsanchez 12 днів тому

    Great list. I do recommend playing a game first before investing. I was just at BGG con and played Black Forest. It's a great game, but not something I need to own despite the rave reviews. Also saw everyone playing Civolution everywhere. I sat down to play it Saturday night and was pretty disappointed. Glad I didn't buy that without a playthrough. One of my game groups always has winners and I end up buying games I play there first. Hegemony looks interesting, because I love asymmetric games like Root. Mentioning SkyTeam and Slay the Spire back to back is funny. The easiest to one of the more complex. I've played both of them. Sky Team was shockingly fun the first time. Slay the Spire might have been a bit too much for me, but was definitely a good time as a co-op game. And I do think Sky Team would be more fun in person vs BGA. If you like the Clank series, I think Catacombs is the best version with the variable maps. There are also the asymmetric player powers that spice it up (again, asymmetric!). That might be an expansion though. Planet Unknown is a great game. So easy to get to the table because it's so nice. The puzzly tile laying game makes my Tetris-addicted brain happy. This is a definitely a buy, even if you haven't played it before. The only minor annoyance is fixed when they release the expansion. The lazy susan doesn't have a lid so if you stand it up, the pieces just fall out. You never know what condition it's going to be when you open the box. No one wants to spend 15 minutes sorting pieces into slots before you even start playing. They are releasing a lid when the expansion drops. Oh... And the different planets and companies add some assymetry to the game. I am realizing a theme in my favorite mechanics.

    • @RollsInTheFamily
      @RollsInTheFamily 10 днів тому

      Thanks for the detailed response! It is always hard with the try-before-buy philosophy... On one hand, it makes perfect sense because it allows you to make more informed purchasing decisions and avoid spending money on games you won't like. But on the other hand, often times the opportunities to "try" a game are less conducive to giving the best experience, whether that is due to a digital implementation or playing with a different group than a core group of friends. So often times I find myself purchasing a game knowing there is a risk it won't be a keeper, but accepting that risk to give the game the best opportunity to shine. And it usually isn't too hard to sell used games these days, so the stakes aren't super high. -Ryan

    Food chain scoring philosophy is a measure of opportunity, not efficiency. Unfortunately, sometimes the winning opportunity is taken and there is still 1h30 left to play😅 Edit: just got to arcs segment. 2p works, tts works, buuuuut they're for me two downsides that weakens the pace and feel of the game. 2p is decided off fewer interactions. TTS slows down the card play DRASTICALLY. This is a quick pace game with a table of people who can follow their guts. Also another fantastic example of the "points as opportunity" philosophy. Luke skywalker didnt bring down the death star because he had a +10% dmg tech upgrade hehehe. I hope it hits for you

    Quick notes haha: Slay the Spire is great, but only if you want to play it co-op (which I imagine you will). Solo is basically the same as the video game. Sky Team is great, super fun on BGA as well. I *really* want to try Nemesis, and Retaliation would likely be my preferred option. I actually have Andromeda’s Edge and Clank! Catacombs both in shrink that I’m looking to sell (we just would never get them played). Great video!

  • @petergross7235
    @petergross7235 14 днів тому

    You guys raised an interesting question about whether or not you can keep two games that share 90% of the same DNA. To save space and money I would choose one over the other. Do you have any games in your collection that are very similar but just different enough to keep both?

    • @paigel6630
      @paigel6630 14 днів тому

      For me it depends on how much you like said DNA (and also the size of the box on some level). For example, I own Wing and Wyrm span because I love the system and I think Wingspan + expansions added complexity to the game in a very different way than Wyrmspan so I find myself in the mood for either or at different times. I also love birding so even if I may slightly prefer Wyrmspan, I also appreciate the art and facts of real birds which adds to my enjoyment. That said, if somebody just liked those games just okay, it would make sense to only keep one if they wanted either. I also hold onto both if they work for different player counts (Blokus and Blokus Duo) On the flipside, I don't own very many drafting games because for me Sushi Go gets the job done in a small box and do consider culling games that are too similar to others if I only rate them as good (the only reason I still own Forbidden Island is that it fits in the Forbidden Desert box. Same with King of New York/Tokyo, Dixit/Stella, and Codenames/Duet.

    • @RollsInTheFamily
      @RollsInTheFamily 14 днів тому

      It's a good question! I think ultimately it boils down to whether we feel we want to still be playing both and don't prefer one in almost any situation. For most games that share that much in common, there is usually one that edges the other out for our preferences. Some possible examples of similar games we have kept are Dixit and Stella: Dixit Universe which share a core concept but we enjoy the different takes on the system. Daniel has Splendor and Splendor Duel which is maybe an example of when a preference based on play count keeps both around. -Ryan

      It looks really intriguing! I think I was initially put off by the gruesome cover but I keep hearing good things about it. -Ryan

      @ I’m also not into the theme but I’ve heard so much positive reviews on it and the hidden movement is something I’m lacking in my collection

    Hour long RitF video and house chores (national holiday in Brazil) = perfect match.

    My top 3. 1.Andromedas Edge 4 player game 2. Concordia Venus 5 player game 3. Chronicles of Crime. (My wife and I killed it, grant it was an easy scenario but that doesn’t matter.)

    • @RollsInTheFamily

      Nice, the buzz for Andromeda's Edge is strong! And it definitely feels great to dominate a Chronicles of Crime scenario haha. -Ryan

    Tichu is huge in Greece, I wish it was bigger in the rest of the world too. It's truly something special!

    • @RollsInTheFamily

      That's awesome, totally agree that Tichu separates itself from the crowd of modern-but-traditional card games. -Ryan

      👋 Definitely two of the games we've enjoyed the most in the sea of "polyomino" releases in the past few years! -Ryan

    I appreciate the list. Now I have more options . The UNO suggestion is great. I was waiting for dragomino and castle panic but now I will try to get them. Some titles that you might want to try next are Outfoxed and Spot light.

    • @RollsInTheFamily

      Hoping to record my 4 year old edition soon, and Outfoxed will definitely be included! -Ryan

    In my personal location rankings, Station 2891 is much higher. I just really love the atmosphere of that map. Love trying to get the Killer or Minions to take damage from the cold. For Killers, The Intruders are much lower (most of my games against them, they either go buck wild, going on a rampage before I can do anything, or they just stand there, doing almost nothing) and Poltergeist is much higher (which is pretty biased, this was the first Feature I bought and I played it a ton before I could get my hands on another one).

    • @RollsInTheFamily
      @RollsInTheFamily 17 днів тому

      Nice! It is amazing how varied different people's rankings are, there are just so many random variables in play that influence how good of an experience you have with any specific map or killer. Thanks for sharing your experiences! -Ryan

    I have a small collection (started this year) and apparently your tastes are like mine. What you two love, I'm usually interested (or already bought), and what you dislike, normally are games that don't grab my atention.

    • @RollsInTheFamily
      @RollsInTheFamily 17 днів тому

      Nice! 🤝 Always cool to find content creators that have tastes that align well with your own, hopefully we don't lead you astray haha. -Ryan

    Played a 2 player game of Xia. Hadn't played in a while. Forgot how much I enjoy this epic adventure.

      Xia is in a category of games that I have a hard time seeing myself buying, but I would really like to try someday... -Ryan
