I don't think we have many holiday themed games, with the exception of year-round resident Santa in Walking in Burano. We actually played Silver for the first time over the weekend so we aren't even doing the right holidays! Good luck on your holiday baking! I've got to get to work on my cookie boxes for some of my neighbors. So busy! Glad you are well and I hope you get some gaming in between cookie batches and family gatherings!

Well, you can't go wrong with Silver! We play that year-round! 2 new sets of Silver should be hitting retail soon & we're looking forward to getting them. Oh, btw, I hear there's a new Silver app. Haven't tried it, but when they get all the decks added in it would allow you try out different decks & play with custom decks! Hope ya'll have happy holidays with lots of fun game-playing!🎉

@@teaNgames they have a little bit of a learning curve but if you push beyond that they are very fun and rewarding. The original Terra Mystica is nice because its very tight and streamlined. It needs 3-4 players to really shine though. Gaia Project has a cool tech track and is a little more free form, and is better at lower player count. Age of Innovation is like the original with more variation and with smaller maps for lower player counts. They are both awesome. The digital versions on steam are great to learn the games before you play the physical versions. They are all played competitively. They just had an international Terra MysticaCon Championship in Canada a couple of months ago.

Sometimes it's hard to hear through the hype to the essential thing of whether *you'd* like the game. I'm better at not buying due to hype than I was when I got JotL, but it's hard not to catch people's enthusiasm for new games...that's why most games I'm interested in go onto a wish list until they "cool off", instead of being an impulse buy.
@jtsiren1676 11 күн бұрын
As of December 2024: 1. Too many new games are coming out every year, there is no way to ever play all of the games you have an interest in. 2. Board games require time and shelf space, both of which are limited capacities. 3. Many of the new games coming out will make other games obsolete. It's good to cull. Don't hang on. Let them go, and let them go by. There will be another game.
@teaNgames 11 күн бұрын
Good advice! It seems natural to me to evaluate & cull at year's end, especially since year's end is when we buy a bunch of games. Also, I like to think that I'm making someone else's Christmas a bit better because they're getting my culled games at a deep second-hand discount. I like the idea of games circulating in the community. I've benefited from other people's culled games that I've picked up. Games that aren't right us may be right for other people! I don't want all the games: just a good selection that's right for us. Thanks for watching and commenting!

We also hosted Thanksgiving and got to play some games. I ended up doing a good deal of solo gaming one day because everyone was playing The Crew and they had the max players already and plus the game stresses me out. So I just sat at the other end of the table with my Button Shy and Oink games. But I did get to show everyone Cartographers and New York Zoo. Plus, they introduced me to Hues and Clues as well as Heat. So it was a very fun weekend overall. I'm interested to hear what you think of Grand Austria Hotel. I've never played it, but always been interested in it. And Christmas Movie Magic seems like a hoot! Between Spiel Mill and you, I'm like, "Do I need to get in on this action?"
@teaNgames 11 күн бұрын
The only 2 things to keep in mind in deciding whether to get Christmas Movie Magic is that the player count maxes out, surprisingly, at 4, and also that I think it may be best with movies you've already seen because searching for the card items while watching will distract from the movie. If the movie is so dear to your heart that you want to just absorb it, or if it's new to you, the game may diminish the movie. It's probably best with a movie you've seen a million times!

Sounds like you had a great getaway minus those princess and the pea metal chairs. And great tips for the upcoming holiday. I'll be home with a slew of in-laws all staying here so we will see what, if any, games get played. Those double layer player boards make playing the physical game so much easier! I'm very clumsy so one wrong move with the base player boards and all of my resources end up in a one big pile of confusion. They're a life saver! You might be able to upgrade to metal money cubes (bronze, silver, and gold) because those don't have to fit in the double layer squares. Only your colored player cubes go there. If you wanted to upgrade those then you may have to do some very careful measuring.

I tried Werewolf over a decade ago. I had never done a social deduction game and it was at a New Years Eve party where I knew exactly 2 people and everyone else was a stranger. I get told that we are playing Werewolf and there is a group of 20 people and someone is running the game. There are no time limits to anything and it was brutal! I don't think I vibe with social deduction, especially with people I don't know. I remember there were two games and both times I was just a humble villager and no one was killing me or whenever they tried I was randomly saved by another player unbeknownst to me. So I sat in this circle for hours, my two pals killed way earlier and I was in the final 5 both times. It was just so long, tedious, and unpleasant. I feel like the way you did it, with a smaller group of people you know, is perhaps a better way. I'm glad you had a good time and have been enjoying some spooky gaming!

I really think the app helped tremendously running the game! Also all the versions of Werewolf I've seen have a max player count of either 7 or 10. Your Werewolf experience was probably made worse by having too many players---and no timer for the discussion! I think the game is probably going to be more fun with people you know. And it's really pretty short when you have the right player count! I don't think it'd be as much fun if it went on for a long time. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with it😕

Hey, new subscriber here! I also love tea and board games. My tea today was "velvety vanilla" from Tea Desire. Thanks for sharing your favourite games, I love your energy! I'm looking forward to watching your backlog of videos!

We love Terraforming Mars in our house. I think it is the game we have played most often and is probably the game that my husband requests the most. I hope you are able to table it soon and you let us know how it goes in a video. If you don't have any double-layer played boards, just watch your sleeves or you'll be scooting those little cubes all over the place! I'm very intrigued by Above and Below. I saw the Haunted version on Gamefound and was curious about it. Did you end up backing it?
@teaNgames Ай бұрын
I did back the Haunted Above and Below---because we do enjoy Above and Below so much! I've been dithering over various acrylic overlays for the Terraforming Mars player boards, but haven't decided which to get, or whether I should just wait & try to get double-layered cardboard mats🤷♀️ We were supposed to play TM this past weekend, but the start time for the game day kept getting pushed back, until it was just a couple of hours squeezed in between other things people were doing, so Mars has not been terraformed yet!

Yay! We have been enjoying these videos :) Really cool idea regarding Scrabble! Maybe one day when we have a dedicated spare table we can set up a game to keep going as we go about our day. It could work quite well with other games too I'd think, like Boop! 🐈 Interesting to learn Ugly Gryphon Inn can be quite a table hog; It's one we've been wanting to get for a while but I think we'll have to go the route of PnP with it. I wonder if it could work well at 70% scale so it'd take up less space 🤔(Something I saw folks mentioning over on the Button Shy discord - it'll be fun to try!) That Co-Op train game too looks nice, we'd not heard of this one before! Thanks for another great video and for making our wishlist of games ever larger 😅

You might have an easier time finding Switch and Signal in Europe than us folks in America! We really enjoy the wall Scrabble board. I sometimes wish we had a game table so we could have an ongoing game inside the table and then play another game on the top. I wish someone would invent a wall version of campaign games🤣 That's the only way some of those games would get played!🤣

It's not anticlimactic! I am at the edge of my seat watching your list! I'm glad it's not like the typical top ten lists. I really like your take on things 👍
@teaNgames Ай бұрын
Well the list is sort of like other Top lists in that I used PubMeeple for the rankings, but I have such unusual? scattershot? quirky? tastes that it was bound to come out different! Also, professional content creators play a lot more games than I do, so a lot of good games *couldn't* make my list because I haven't (yet?) played them!

The Top 10 surprised me a bit! I'd love to play any of these games with you....or any game! I wish we lived closer together---there's a lot of overlap in the games you and Alicia like & the games Robert and I like (though this Top 50 are my fave, rather than Robert's).

I figured out a logical method of working Milestones into Terraforming Mars solo. I haven't yet figured out how to incorporate Awards.
@teaNgames Ай бұрын
I play the solo game on the app, so there's no way to add in Milestones & Awards, but one of the new expansions (which I didn't get) is an Automata, which is a new way to play solo. I don't know if it allows Milestones and Awards, but if you play the physical game solo then it might be worth checking into!

"The only thing I don't like about Herbacious is that among the herbs they do not have Basil, which makes no sense whatsoever to me" 😂😂😂 these kind of remarks make Tea and Games unique! ✨👌

Not so unique...Dwayne, over at Blackboard Gaming, has also complained about the lack of basil on Herbaceous😆 Fortunately I grow basil in real life so I don't have to depend on the game for basil🤣

Doing this list --- making the videos for it --- took a lot longer than I thought it would! It's eaten up most of October. But it's fun looking at such a random assortment of games😆

@@teaNgames Yeah these top lists are a lot of work. We do our top 100 every couple of years and it takes sooooo long. We always start out ok but eventually slow down due to life reasons.
