Where’s Adultery smh

✋🇵🇱

No doubt, Father Dan is on the monsignor fast track with that list.

Zany canadian fun. Take off ya hosers!

Great video guys, but it would be nice with some timestamps 🙂👍

You don’t need to build in teotihuacan… once I won by just doing all masks

Plays for August: Twilight Inscription - wrapping up our multiple plays from the previous month Nova Roma - we admire the design, but just didn't have fun. It's on the sell pile. Everdell Farshore - we enjoyed it, although it's a bit light for our tastes. I'll probably keep it around to play with the kids when they're a bit older, but not one I'm eager to get back to the table quickly. Rolling Realms - fun filler Arcs - we really enjoyed the base game at 2 players. Our first try at the campaign didn't go so well. We didn't even bother finishing the final act, because it didn't seem like it was going to be fun to play out the way things had gone. The campaign has so much variability that I think it's going to be an uneven experience, sometimes working out and creating cool stories, other times being a little bit boring. I suspect part of us not enjoying it was a first play issue, and I also suspect it would be better at 3 or 4. The campaign adds a TON of extra rules and complexity over the base game, and I'm not sure it's adds enough fun for all that to be worth it (especially at 2 players). A lot of the extra stuff, while technically working at 2 players, felt very out of place at that player count. Best of the month - Arcs base game

As a US resident - sadly, there are many reasons to put orange tips on all gun facsimiles - up to and including foam guns used in board games.

Seems as though correlation isn't causation and yellow is not as unbalanced in all plays of "It's a wonderful world" as it has seemed in some of mine. Best play of the month for me was Terraforming Mars. Was unable to get a multiplayer game due to a busy month, but was finally able to give it some solo play. After setup it's a pretty quick game when you really know what you're doing. Very happy that I didn't ruin the game of Barcelona with my slow play.

Guys I really don't care about your editing capabilities or not marking the chapters in the video ...that way of having fun and those vibes are contagious....well done

Love your enthusiasm and your vibes....I'm sad that you pick age of innovation over TM...did you try fan factions? I really need to try Tiletum and Dune...the hype is real

Most of these look too crrrunchy for me, but I'd give 'em a shot because Daniel is so enthusiastic about them. 😊

Lovely list

Ooh I like Dan! Infectious smile and enthusiam.

Carcassonne is a good pick and has more depth than most people realize. I also used to feel like roads were underpowered in base Carcassonne but as I played more, I learned to utilize them better. Now I feel like roads shouldn't be ignored. *But also,* you can do a lot with a road tile. You can place a farmer on it. You can make an enemy structure harder (or impossible) to finish. You can surround your monasteries. You can even use it to preemptively protect your cities, but that's a more advanced consideration that would probably require some explanation. All in all, I think the balance is very good in base Carcassonne which is probably my favorite way to play the game. I don't like the 3-tile-hand variant either. I like playing with probabilities and making the best move I can with the tile I'm given. It's part of what I like about the game. Oh, I should probably mention that I play Carcassonne mostly as a 2-player game.

you 2 really deserve more views. Great content as per usual

Great list John! Underwater cities is definitely a top shelf game.

❤ I really enjoyed this top 10 list. Going to get some of these game. I was nervous at the intro that this was going to be too silly for me but appreciated the mix of humor and intelligence.

Fun list! I love Underwater Cities. I haven't done a ranking in a long time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it landed in my top 10. I've only played Hive a few times, and my kids have since misplaced some of the pieces, haha. Definitely one I'd like to play some more to get a better grasp of it. Terra Nova is one I need to try. I'm a huge fan of Gaia Project and Age of Innovation. Having a similar experience in a quicker play time sounds very appealing for some week night gaming. I really enjoy Beyond the Sun, but don't get it played nearly as much as I'd like to. I'm looking forward to Beyond the Horizon.

Snowdonia is a wonderful game system. With all the expansions that you can get in the Master Set: it's a fresh experience every time!

That was a good cold openings lol

Wow! No one ever mentions Tournay. It's a great game... but I don't get to play it often because it is so symbol heavy, it makes it hard to teach new players. I've really grown an appreciation for Carcassonne lately. I had only played it once years ago before getting into the hobby. I recently started playing it more regularly and have been really enjoying it. I have both the Castle and City versions and like the restrictive nature of having a border. Now I am looking for some of the other off shoots like Over Hill and Dale.

Very unique list! You definitely need the right kind of group for heavy 3-4 hour games like terra mystica, but when you have a group that enjoys those games they are the absolute best!. I've been curious about Hive for a while and might try to find a way to play it soon.

I’m surprised council of 4 isn’t here since you said you played 2 times a day for 14 years straight.

I love Tournay - super underappreciated game.

What is Suchy’s best then? PLEASE don’t tell me Praga. That thing is a mess of mechanisms and ugly! 😂

This is a travesty. The artist for Tournay is Alexandre Roche (Alias: Travis T)

As an Everton fan, I was skeptical of John’s list due to his selection of chapeau and preferred football club, though have to admit the top 10 was unique and multifaceted. It’s great to watch Top 10s from regular board gamers. Great idea for a series and great vid. 👍🏻

You really decided to keep that intro in eh? Hahaha

Chapters please. 😊

Such a fun month of games! Thanks for this so I could relive the memories, glad I was a big part of your July set of games 😁

Guys, I had the most delightful time yesterday playing Santa Monica. It's not a great game, but it's just charming and fun

I am excited to know that I have been labelled as a min-maxer on the channel😂 I found it really interesting how Dan was thinking about ticket to ride this month as I eerily also had it on my mind. Mostly because I have been thinking about getting first journey for daughter who is about to turn 6. I am also curious to hear more about your MTG experience, was there a particular format that you were playing? Maybe I can have the two of you over sometime for a go with a couple decks.

Hi! New subscriber here. I'd love to see a video about your favourite asymmetric games please :)

Plays for July: Lost Ruins of Arnak - We played through the cooperative campaign from Missing Expedition, which was fantastic. Expeditions - I almost sold this game, but ended up keeping it to try out the Gears of Corruption expansion. It was fun. The expansion fixed all of the issues I had with the base game. Fort - played with the Cats and Dogs expansion, which we hadn't played before. It's a fun addition, but certainly not essential. Heat - played several plays with various different maps, and with the garage module. Fun game. We played with the rival cars, but they often ended up nowhere near us. I suspect it would be a lot more fun with more players. We enjoy it, but I am surprised it's in the top 100. Twilight Inscription - played several games, hadn't played before. We really enjoyed it. Your faction has a very meaningful effect on what you're doing, which gives some nice variability. It's up there with Hadrian's wall for me for heavy "verb and writes". Favourite of the month - Lost Ruins of Arnak easily. Such a fantastic game, and each expansion has just made it even better.

We’ve been playing a lot of Apiary, Tapestry and Guild of Merchant Explorers.

Our family plays Namiji regularly. It works well as lighter fare to bring folks together for an hour and enjoy conversation, snacks and drinks. On my end, I’ve had Fateforge:Chronicles of Kaan set up on the gaming table and I’ve run through a handful of scenarios. Fun so far. 👍🏻 And agreed re: Ticket to Ride. It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not and consistently delivers a fun time. We enjoy the Nordic Countries version - especially around Christmas.

Two most recent games I played were both new to me. Kingdom Builder and Ark Nova I enjoy what you’re doing in KB, it’s simple with a decent amount of strategy. Though it plays almost too quickly at two player, and will likely hit its stride at 3-4. Excited to try at a higher player count Ark Nova has been a blast. I can see some DNA of TFM present, mostly in the card play and tile placement. The action selection and upgrading is interesting. It felt long even at two, but that’s not really a drawback for us. Some certain things could use work but overall great

Best KZbin video of the month is back!

Careful with the pics 😂 #Agricola

Fr. Greg if you like Mac Gerts you've gotta play Crossing Oceans

Suchy….great was his fall.

Great video. Could you please write down the full list or make a 7-minute video like last year? :)

You two are the best. Thanks for a really entertaining and enjoyable video. Love it!

Surprising choices in the sense that some where not the usual suspects. I like it! A nice mix of new and older titles. Really need to play Tiletum again. I rather pull out Hansa Teutonica because the setup is much shorter, the main drawback of Tiletum imho.

ya...ok, sure. was a gooden

Lots of games I’ve never played and a good amount I’ve never heard of!

This is a smart format. Gives the “Top 100” flavor with a breezier, more conversational feel. One suggestion would be maybe ping pong between you guys for the new games, falls, risers, etc… Great job 👏🏻 Board games 🎲 Hooray! 😃

I really like the format but I would still include a quick mention to the updated top 20 list and why the still stand there
