Can I have a suggestion about a very minor thing? The intro animation is great, just the music is too loud compared to your speech, maybe its volume could be lowered by atleast 33% in the video production. Lots of channels have this problem and it's a little jarring. But congrats on 1k subs already, you keep making so much good content so fast, impressive. :)

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thanks for letting me know! Yes, I can absolutely fix that in the future!

[@miguelon2595]

Found your channel yesterday and I’m already thinking of my chill games as Lullaby Games. Great content.

[@MF-jx9xb]

Really love that you make the effort to include B roll of the games that you discuss, so many channels don''t. Thanks great vids.

[@AfterEvenfall]

I've always liked watching reviews with B roll in them better than other ones, so I figured I'd make sure to do that in my own channel whenever possible!

[@trading_card_universe]

I have to admit that I really like your channel! You aren’t pushing products on us, you have your own opinions whether they are popular or not, and you are REALLY passionate about board gaming! Not fake or trying to be an over the top actress. (We can always tell) You are like the girl next door who can’t wait to show us her new game. Bravo!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much, that's really what I am at heart, and I'm so glad that comes across!

[@justinsanchez2263]

That character you asked about from dice thrones is the shop keeper from Dice thrones adventures. After you complete a portal crawl you would visit her to upgrade your deck with more powerful cards or unique items. She isn't currently a playable character. Great list!

[@AfterEvenfall]

I guess I'll just have to get Dice Throne Adventures then! ;) It would be awesome if they could convert characters from that game over into the regular Dice throne! I've seen so many of them that have fantastic-looking designs!

[@daem0nfaust]

Lullaby games LOL, love that term, gonna use it now

[@djinn9345]

Thank you so much for this video! My wife and I have game nights but 2 player board games are kinda scarce. This list is awesome!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed watching!! :)

[@MerlinsManor]

Great list. 7 Wonders Duel is my favorite 2-player only game. We also enjoy Paris La Citie De La Lumiere and Patchwork, (a couple 2 player only games), which utilize polyomino tile placement and Codenames Duet. Paris has a head-to-head feel to it as you spend the first round placing tiles with your color (as well as a neutral color and your opponent's color) and drafting tiles and then the second round placing those tiles, but you can only place them covering your color and the neutral color. Any tiles leftover at the end of the game are negative points. You score points for having buildings next to street lamps and special abilities you pick up during the 2nd round as well. It can be frustrating when you set up an area in the first round to use for one of your shapes and then in the 2nd round your opponent steals that area (using the neutral color) and you have to change plans and maybe use a special ability to fix the issue. My wife and I also play a ton of multiplayer games at 2-player. Some of our other favorites are: Welcome To the Moon, Legendary Encounters Firefly, Meadow, Atlantis Rising, Spirit Island, Gloomhaven, and Wingspan (particularly with Asia expansion)

[@AfterEvenfall]

I've only heard of some of those games, so thank you for the suggestions! I'll definitely be putting them on my list! Paris La Citie De La Lumiere sounds like a ton of fun, is that the one by Devir?

[@MerlinsManor]

@AfterEvenfall Yes, it is the one by Devir.

[@christinacampbellbooks]

I absolutely love 7 Wonders Duel. It's one of my favourite board games of all time. Draftosaurus looks great. I'm going to have to look for that one ☺

[@AfterEvenfall]

I hope you enjoy it! And I know, 7 Wonders is the best! :)

[@deanlowdon8381]

I never really enjoyed the original 7 Wonders but was convinced to give Duel a try and it’s now one of our favourites.

[@mamameo135]

Heard nothing but good things about Empires of the North. And it is ADORABLE. Must have!

[@devonfarrington7431]

Its so incredible how beautiful your channel is. There is rarely a channel with such a gorgeous intro and background so soon.

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much!

[@steveschloegel5454]

You’re great at this! I like your passion for board games. You crack me up when you talk about your family being competitive. My wife, kids and I are competitive and some games can get out of hand but cooler heads usually prevail. Keep up the great work.

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@deanlowdon8381]

Just discovered your channel and it’s nice to see games that are a bit different to what everyone else is talking about.

[@Kojimalosophy]

hey! you already passed a thousand subscribers much congrats! and I love that you don't constrain yourself to only 10 when doing top games of a certain category : )

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you! And how can I when there are so many great games out there?! 😉

[@SophieStudios]

Just came across your channel and I love the quality of your content! Keep up the great work! By the way, Sky Team is my favourite two player game 😊

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much, that means a ton to me! And I’ll have to add it to my list!!

[@kennymaness]

My partner and I love two-player board games! Our most recent favorites are Smitten*, Glow*, Mini Rogue, Brew, Studies in Sorcery*, Boss Monster, and Dungeon Mayhem. Highly recommend! * these ones are great lullaby games

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thanks for sharing!! I haven't heard of most of those, I need to take a look at them!

[@modlitwaSERCA]

[@alesjanosik1545]

I am enjoying the little backstories, good luck with Your channel!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much!!

[@Apahom]

Great games! Good luck for your channel to grow up and up👍

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you!! :)

[@dangerousbeans2907]

Bunny Kingdom has a wonderful 2 player drafting variant out there. (On BGG maybe) It makes the 2 player game our preferred way to play. Without the drafting variant it’s not the best at 2.

[@kerrycoys8090]

This is a great, unique list, loving the videos!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thanks so much!

[@stormburns]

Castles of Burgundy is our go to week night game for 2 under an hour. We played the heck out of 7WD, pantheon helped alot with hetting 150+ plays in.

[@AfterEvenfall]

I LOVE Castles of Burgundy. We've been playing it a ton lately at 2, but I included it in another video recently and didn't want to do a ton of repeating in this one. 7WD is such a great game, and I'll have to check out the pantheon expansion!!

[@littlecreek5]

Love the shots of thr games set up

[@AfterEvenfall]

Glad you like them!

[@dadtier564]

Excellent taste is games!! Solid Reccomendations!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much!

[@gamewrit0058]

10:00 When we play Risk, my dad looks at the board and says, "Where can I cause the most trouble?" 😆 And takes more than half the world, but goes to bed early - one night, my sister "inherits" his territory to join with hers and creams us. It was brilliant.

[@AfterEvenfall]

That sounds hilarious! I love family board game stories!!

[@marccote8544]

We really love Ancient knowledge at 2

[@AfterEvenfall]

I'll have to check that one out!

[@typhoon909]

The mystery character is the "Shopkeeper" for the loot table in Dice Thrones: Adventures. Non playable.

[@AfterEvenfall]

Bummer, she looks like she'd be a cool character!

[@user-hv4ct5tw7l]

Imperial Settlers (classic, not the north one) is also worth playing imo. Thanks for the video!

[@AfterEvenfall]

Good to know, I'll have to check it out!! :)

[@shannonvyvey966]

Great list. Have you tried Targi? It is my favourite two player game.

[@AfterEvenfall]

I haven’t! I’ll have to take a look at it!

[@LesPetitsChefs]

Just discover your channel by Guime (bunny boom which I made a french review too). Love it! I just subscribe. Do you tried Sky Team? It's a 2 player board game where you have to make landing a plane. Pretty fun.

[@AfterEvenfall]

I haven't played Sky Team yet, but I've heard so many good things about it that I really want to try it!

[@stepbystepstories]

Love it. Sounds like you have an amazing mother!!!

[@AfterEvenfall]

🤣

[@lowSenEnjoyer]

That's such a pretty hoodie. The colour suits you very well! *-*

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you to say! I embroidered it myself :)

[@lowSenEnjoyer]

@@AfterEvenfallthanks so awesome 😱😱

[@ivantintor1058]

Great video!!! Just one question about Trolls and Princess (it's in the corner 👀) because it's on my radar..it's good at 2 players??? Sorry for the Bad english 😅

[@AfterEvenfall]

You’re good! I honestly think trolls and princesses plays best at two! Any more than that and the game is really long :)

[@mathbraga159]

My gf really likes radiant offline battle arena and when we feel like chilling, we play the mind

[@lamb_of_dog8878]

My wife isn't much into board games but there are a couple on this list I think I would like to get. Trails, Calico and Aquatica all look like great intro games. Thanks for the inspiration! I like seeing lists of more 'obscure' games, so your channel has been great for that! 🤘🏽

[@AfterEvenfall]

I'm so glad you enjoy what you've seen and hopefully we can get another gamer out of your wife, we need more in the hobby! 😉

[@Asgoodasanyone]

Really enjoying your videos, great job on everything! And that sweater is gorgeous, would you mind sharing where it’s from? 😊

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you so much! I actually made the sweater myself! :)

[@Asgoodasanyone]

Ooh! It’s lovely! You could sell it as merch, I’d order one straight away! 😍

[@AfterEvenfall]

That's a great idea, thank you so much!

[@Shelby-xz4qk]

Is the tea dragon game two player only?

[@AfterEvenfall]

It is 2-5 (if you own both games--if you only own 1 it is 2-4)

[@Shelby-xz4qk]

How does it compare to the other tea dragon game?

[@AfterEvenfall]

We've always played them both identically. Autumn Harvest is like a standalone expansion, where you can play it all by itself, or you can add it to the tea dragon society.

[@harryzhang4024]

love the content, love your sweater, where can i get one for my fiance??

[@AfterEvenfall]

Thank you! I actually made the sweater myself, but I'm so glad you like it!

[@zmollon]

I see the words "top 10" and "games" so i click. Unfortunately, i saw bunny kingdom on sale snd didnt buy it so ill never be able to ourchase it since my brain will refuse to buying at a higher price.

[@AfterEvenfall]

Haha that's a bummer, it's such a fun game!

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

Hate drafting runs deep in your family 10:10

[@AfterEvenfall]

Haha you could definitely say that

[@constantinoscaro3536]

just a suggestion...your sound output levels during the video are kinda low, while the intro is SUPER loud. it would be nice to adjust the intro ;)

[@AfterEvenfall]

I just did on my more recent video, but thank you so much for letting me know! I appreciate any feedback a ton!

[@cherylrodgers6331]

Over🎁 💖😗

[@diamondmeeple]

Your husband has won the lottery.... 🙂

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

Cool he can afford more board games then

[@TheSludgeMan]

Creepy comment

[@Gshanty]

I don’t see a ring on her finger…

[@arowelor1007]

You keep calling your man "husband" but where's your ring tho ? 😁

[@AfterEvenfall]

I haven't worn it in years, since it used to scratch me a ton

[@arowelor1007]

Haha now I see, Anyway good list of games. I would add sea salt and paper, Watergate and paleo 😊
