I found your channel this morning and subscribed as soon as I watched 2 videos. You have a polished and easy to watch style. Both of you have adept analysis while allowing for counter opinions which I find even more helpful. At the time of writing this I have now watched more videos and I also want to comment on the quality production. Keep this up and I foresee a very bright future for your channel. Stay true to yourselves and have fun.
What a sweet thing to say! Thank you, Jillian. Gushing over games is a lot of fun but sometimes you got to tell it like it is, we think. Otherwise we're basically just salespeople at some point.
Thanks for the kind words! Hope we can keep entertaining you. It's nice when the 'ol algorithm finally gets around to showing people our videos. The money we bribed UA-cam with is finally paying off.
Again a great video... you 2 complement each other very well, and it gives together a very complete and well thought out idea of a game, not just hilarious enthousiasm. Keep them coming! greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you! Our next review will likely be a lot of gushing and enthusiasm with less harshness. Everyone is a lot to get a little passionate sometimes, right? 😊
You guys talking about Earth cracks me up. Overrated but also good 😂. Loved this list! And I learned of some new games that sound fun. Especially Raising Robots. Happy New Year!
It's true! Sometimes you really like a game but then you see everyone raving about it and treating it like it descended from heaven so you have to be like, whoa guys, I don't know if it's that good! 😜
Sure . Of course that it’s not an easy game. But it’s like Ferrari… even if you don’t like it you have to acknowledge that they make one of the best cars in the whole world .
I found 2023 to be one of the most disappointing years for boardgame releases ever. Around October I had about 10 on my list that I was interested in buying. By the end of December they were almost all removed. Evenfall, nucleum (not 2 player), last light, white castle, evacuation (mps), hegemony (not 2 player), kutna horror, Voidfall (set up,and Mps) the only titles that worked for us were Leaf, art society, and old games like Darwin’s journey and lands of galzyr. I also picked up the new Dune game because I like the first one. Three of my worst gaming experiences were in 2023 with ‘the hunt’ (I literally cannot give away this game right now) and Kutná horror. Amalfi Renaissance was also incredibly bad. First 3 rounds go by really quick, then last round of two hours of endless AP, one player making 80 moves in a row, while the other player already finished their turn, and goes to bed. In 40 years of games, I have never experienced anything like that. One of my major accomplishments was actually selling the game for exactly what I paid for it because the person buying from me had no clue how bad it was. The best game of 2023 is one that no one knows about and that is Texas chainsaw massacre slaughterhouse. Amazing production, hilarious and tense gameplay, and only 30 bucks. I’m done with new games costing close to $100 each.
Make your gaming partner set voidfall up with you. We have a buddy who collects all horror games be can get his hands on so well be playing Texas soon I'm sure. As to prices of games, there are days I'm wondering if we will be priced out of the hobby at some point.
It starts by giving you all the rules every class needs and then just breaks down what each class needs to know. It's not that long or hard to follow. The great thing is that the game comes with solid player aids and mini rules for each class that you can hand people like awful homework.
Hey everyone, I know this comment might be off topic but does anyone know a good card shuffler for table top games that won't damage the cards? We suck at shuffling lol, thanks in advance!!
Such a thing does not exist. Your best bet is to do the Magic the Gathering style pile shuffle. No wear or tear on your cards at all and you can do it relatively quickly.

Thank you for that critical analysis of our videos! Always appreciate feedback, both positive and negative. Hopefully we continue to please, Anna.
Glad I stumbled on this channel - y'all are awesome, keep up the great videos!
We will! Thanks for the kind words!
I think two are some of the most honest reviewers. Wow! This was a refreshing video to watch!!!!

Thanks Callum!
Great video! Happy that the algorithm recommended your channel, also love the video production, love the editing and B rolls and other stuff too
Welcome aboard and thank you! Our video production is getting better. Always something to improve here and we're happy you're with us early!
Great list, keep up the good work ☺! Greetings from Amsterdam!
Thanks, you too! Got to keep up these strong Canada and Holland ties! Keep the well wishes and tulips coming!
just found y'all's channel - thx for the recommendations - enjoyed listening to y'all : )
Welcome! But don't spend too much money on games based on what we say. And don't go buying games when you have so many un-played games! We see you.
@@TabletopTurtle lol! you really do see me! ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! 😱
So happy this video popped up on my feed. Subscribed, you guys are great!

Thanks for the Robot Love!
It was super cute and lots of fun! Also, Stockpile is our favorite five player game! Thanks for both games!
Thanks for your kind words. You just made my day.
Some great games on that list!
Heck ya
2023 top 10 lists are not credible if they don’t include Hegemony.
Agreed!!!😊
It's simply too amazing a game
It's too unique not to at the very least give it a mention. Obviously it's a little heavier though and that won't be to some people's tastes.
@@TabletopTurtle agreed. I felt the same way introducing my group to Brass Birmingham. Out of 8 people, all of them are crazy about the game.
Sure . Of course that it’s not an easy game. But it’s like Ferrari… even if you don’t like it you have to acknowledge that they make one of the best cars in the whole world .
These games are legit picks!
Thanks! It took forever trying to decide on a list that pleased us both.

How was the rule book for Hegemony?
It starts by giving you all the rules every class needs and then just breaks down what each class needs to know. It's not that long or hard to follow. The great thing is that the game comes with solid player aids and mini rules for each class that you can hand people like awful homework.
