    First, I don't tend to rank campaign games like Gloomhaven or Pandemic Legacy with regular board games since they may be awesome while playing them but after you're finished with the campaign they just sit on the shelf (or are sold) and aren't touched except for maybe some nostalgia thing.
    So here's my top ten rearrangement list:
    1 Scythe
    2 Terraforming Mars
    3 Spirit Island
    4 Gaia Project
    5 Castles of Burgundy
    6 Ark Nova
    7 Dune Imperium
    8 Brass Birmingham
    9 GWT
    10 Eclipse
    And Dune Imperium is actually just a stand-in for Lost Ruins of Arnak which I like much better. Dune Imperium would not be on my list.

    Love your order, bonus points for Castle of Burgundy. Such a cohesive thematic and packed game.
    Minor point, it was a tiny bit hard too follow if you were rating a game higher than bgg did. It showed visually on the board but could have used a +/- # of spots on the screen

    You should play "7 wonders Duel" 3 more times, specially if you can play 2 out of 3, it would shine. It is a game that, in my opinion, shines more the more you play. The way you discarded it immediately made me think, they haven't played it enough against each other. I might be wrong, especially if you are not up for games that are very confrontational, and stressful against another player. But seeing that you also chose TS as one of the top 10, and top 3 for that matter, then I think 7 wonders plays are missing. That is the only explanation. ;)

      @luisalbertorodriguez6342 Місяць тому

      @@asqik Did you play it agains someone you know or someone you don't know? I think this game has shined for me because I started playing it against my best friend. We play a lot of games together, and that means we play a lot less 7 wonders duel than we used to, but bragging rights are always kept by the last "Duel winner". I think this game also works better if you are able to interact with the same person over and over. Or the alternative is playing with people that know the game really well.
      There is nothing like the sweet sweet feeling of knowing that you are going to be beaten by points and managing to score a scientific or military victory. Or the stress of knowing that you are going to win, but your opponent might still get the winning card on one of the face down reveals.

    Awesome!
    I`m definitely not a coop fan. The only coop mechanism I like is the Gloom one. Also, I`ve recently played Brass: Birmingham, and to be honest it's freaking good!
    So the list is:
    1) Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition
    2) Dune: Imperium
    3) Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
    4) Brass: Birmingham
    5) Scythe
    6) The Castles of Burgundy
    7) Great Western Trail
    8) Gloomhaven
    9) Ark Nova
    10) Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy
    Perhaps Rebellion and WOTR could join the game instead of the last 2, but unfortunately these are 2-player games and I have no one to play them with

    Not a fan of war so also not of war games... I like that you guys picked Castles of Burgundy. Like you said I love that it's much simpler and less bombastic... And one of the games that were brilliant from the beginning with a lot of great mini expansions to make it even better in 1 box. It didn't need 5 big expansions to fix all unbalanced or lucky problems, like 'I'm sorry' Dune Imperium... Too much experience with 1 or 2 intrige cards that decided the whole game
