    Question of the Day: What is your favorite game that you played in 2023? What is your favorite go to game?

  • @TheClyd3Man

    2:02 OOF... Gentlemen, you hurt me with your calling of Push (2018) an "oldie." 😆
    7:31 Huzzah Copenhgen! 🪟🧜🏻
    23:41 Ra is so good. ☀25 Century's edition is fantastic.

      Okay I do have to apologize for the “oldie” comment, in my head the game was from 1999 but I might have mixed it up with Ra, I would not call a 2018 game an oldie!

      Not to worry. Games can come and go so quickly, it is hard to keep track. In many ways, 2018 was a long time ago. Keep up the good work. 👌🏻

    Fav game played in ‘23 : Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria
    Fav Go To Game: Ark Nova on BGA
    A video on The Magnificent would be interesting to me as I hadn’t heard of it before, the complex games often need a little advertising to entice ppl to try it and it seems to have attractive table presence.

      Great picks! We’ll definitely look into it we’d certainly love to show the game off and win more people over to it, it’s quite well made!

    Love this list! Long shot is so much fun! I picked up my copy at my local Barnes and Noble in the states. They have a good selection of board games there. Playing a lot of New York Zoo at our house these days. Still working through games I picked up after watching your Polyominovember videos. ❤

      Yes! We learned this recently, I believe we’re getting Trio soon as well which is very exciting!

    Glad to see Atiwa on your list. The Magnificent is one I need to get back to the table.

    • @kovray
      @kovray  Рік тому +1

      Yes Atiwa is truly incredible! The Magnificent is also just a masterpiece

    Thanks for the video!
    · *PUSH* is definitely a fun filler push-your-luck game where you _don't_ want to roll the die. :)
    · *Copenhagen* definitely has that Tetris feel, but also the better feeling of completing a line of windows.
    · Soooo glad you got *Long Shot: The Dice Game.* I also was able to get a copy (from my FLGS) last year.
    · *Llamaland* _was_ the polyomino-month gift I gave my sister this past Xmas. She, my dad and I played it NYE; she enjoyed it lots. :)
    · *Ra* was probably the very first Reiner Knizia game I was introduced to when I joined the hobby. Have a copy of the Rio Grande Games version. Should get it played sometime soon.
    Although I finally got the opportunity to play Wingspan, I'd say my favorite game I've played in 2023 was *High Score* by Reiner Knizia. Just the various ways each round can play out with the rolls of seven dice is just 'chef's kiss'. :)
    Favorite go-to game? Still got to go with *Kingdomino.* Still the one I've taught to and played with the most.

    Some great games listed here. I only own Copenhagen from these lists, which really need to play again. I have had My Shelfie on my list to buy since I first saw the game. I have been seeing Nana mentioned so often over the last month, but not available here in Australia from what I can tell. Wonder woods looks super cute and I also like the look of Long Shot. My most played game of 2023 was Cascadia.

    • @kovray

      Cascadia is such a lovely game! I’m so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed it many times ❤️❤️❤️

    I love Artisans of Splendent Vale! It needs more attention! The story, gameplay, and components are amazing.

      Couldn't agree more! We can’t wait to continue our journey there.

    I, too, discovered The Magnificent at the end of 2023 and really like it! Question: Have you guys played with the SNØ Expansion? I'm really curious about it.

    • @kovray
      @kovray  Рік тому

      We have not! I was not aware that it even existed , will have to look into it 🥰

    Castles of Burgundy, the box and the art is iffy. But the game is sooo fun. It instantly clicked with me. Favorite go to game is Kingdomino :) I love that game way more that I should.

    • @kovray
      @kovray  Рік тому

      King Domino is definitely one of those games that feels right! Castles is also lots of fun! Great choices

    ik him showing my age but what do you mean by crunchy?

    • @kovray
      @kovray  8 місяців тому

      Great question it’s a bit jargony! It’s challenging or crunches your brain I believe is the intention.
