I really want to play Ark Nova with yall! Kenz and I play it every time we are together but we all need to get together and play it soon. It’s easily my favorite game (sorry Arnak)
Just stumbled on your vid while enjoying my morning coffee. I would mostly perfectly agree with your ratings. TM is a 10 and has never left my top 5 of all time. I originally had no interest in Ark Nova, but got it on a great sale and it has steady climbed up my ratings with each play. At this point it is right behind Mars also. like you said, some days choose one, some the other. Earth I have a similar feel. except I won't yet let it go do to it's much shorter play time. for me it plays sooo much faster than the other two. Some people don't like to play a 3 to 4 hour game. Before Ark Nova existed people used to compare Underwater cities to terraforming mars. I've never played it to this point.
Underwater Cities has been on my radar for a while, just based on hearing comments like you've mentioned. If I find a good deal, I'm definitely going to try it.
I like to hear about games that have kept your increasingly picky interest, so I can consider them myself. I learned something from the UA-cam comment to this pronunciation video for Teotihuacan: ua-cam.com/video/3GeHQi6eiFU/v-deo.html the Nahuatl language stresses the second-to-last syllable, whereas Spanish stresses the last. I'd only ever heard the Spanish pronunciation.
That link was informative! I think I need to get in the habit of stressing the second-to-last syllable. We'll see how effective that is when we do our review (please be forgiving).

Earth seems to play quicker, so if you have less time it is a good choice IMO
I will concede that point to you. We didn't mention that in the video, but Earth is a bit quicker to play.
