What are some 2022 board games we should be playing?

[@Orcallo.]

GWT Argentina 🎉 and Messina 1347 which is a '21 dryyyyy euro but definitely deserves spotlight on the best playthrough channel ❤

[@EmmaNovaheim]

We've really enjoyed Revive, Carnegie and Tribes of the Wind 😀

[@lukepickles5099]

Carnegie, Planet Unknown and Woodcraft have been the big hits from last year for me. Also Flamecraft for Laura!

[@palkojohn]

Gang of Dice!

[@laurencesingh3948]

You should definitely try Sabika! What an elegantly designed experience - historical crunchy euro goodness. And it has one of the best solo modes I've ever experienced - simple and fast but still very competitive. #meepleday

[@zeradox1901]

I really, REALLY love the fact that you analyse every game in a 2P view!!! Thats very rare and I hope you try to keep up the amazing work! :)

[@dkoudrin]

Played Terracotta Army as a four player game for my first game, it was fine. Wasn't super frustrating. The part we found tedious was the endless barrage of point scoring for every player, every type of warrior, every single round.

[@hiho8084]

I have so many games I still need to play. I get a small taste of what it takes for you two to get ready to play a game for us, because I try to pre-play before I host a game. It's nothing compared to what you do, but I can see how it really takes dedication to present what you do for us. Thank you!

[@mpollockrph0215]

My wife and I are really enjoying Joan of Arc: Orleans Draw and Write. We love Orleans and though not as heavy, Joan of Arc scratches the itch in 20 minutes.

[@adamjensen918]

This has already been said, but the reason I came to this channel was your playthroughs of games at 2 players. My wife and I play lots a games at 2 players and your reviews have keyed us in to more options! Thank you! #meepleday

[@jankogo]

Nice to hear your thoughts on some games from 2022. With all the games coming out nowadays I think many of us don´t have the time to experience them all (even including "the big hits").

[@danielrayas828]

I started watching you guys when I wanted to start playing 'heavy' games, I was intimidated, and wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. Then, I saw your videos, and realized that playing this kind of games was actually super fun and challenging. Thanks! And keep it going! #meepleday

[@CourtySpice]

I love that you guys mentioned games from last year. As a new gamer, pretty much all games are new to me. It’s refreshing to hear about other games besides cult of the new. Love your channel! Thanks for all the fun content! #MeepleDay

[@KSweeney36]

Best thing about 2022 games, that there’s no more of them coming out. Always prefer the reviews later, like this and gaming rules does.

[@amfdfireinside]

Absolutely love what you do. Y’all got us into Kanban EV. #meepleday

[@beakerkell]

Lots of great games! One of my favorites from 2022 was probably John Company 2nd edition. Not sure if it's the kind of game you would enjoy or typically play, but I found it very unique and engaging. #MeepleDay

[@dchung007]

Happy Meeple Day! #MeepleDay - keep up the great work!

[@danny_seltz]

Really love your channel! Your playthroughs are always so entertaining to watch and really gives the viewer a great sense of the game. Thanks for all the great content! #MeepleDay

[@nathanlafave3298]

Congrats on completing the Uwe Saga! Looking forward to the ranking video. #MeepleDay

[@steeveman]

Another great show! I need to make a dent in my shelf of shame. Always appreciate your reviews and teaches! #MeepleDay

[@Iorekbyrnison100]

#MeepleDay I've looked at Get on Board a hundred times: I think I'll bite the bullet and pick it up. Thanks for the fun overview of some interesting games, and I'm looking forward to your Uwe wrap-up!

[@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants]

Dungeons, Dice & Danger is one of our most fun roll and writes, so happy we were able to find a used copy locally! #MeepleDay

[@daveflynn3397]

Picked up Basilica a few months ago. Pretty enjoyable with nice components. I am interested in seeing Moon River at Gencon, it is a Kingdomino style game.

[@feliperodrigues8273]

Ethnos is an area control thar works very well for 2 imo

[@Kcrash5]

I loved Terracotta Army. Thanks for all the great reviews. #MeepleDay

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi there, thank you so much for participating in the giveaway. Congratulations, you won!!! Please send us an email and we can get in touch! :-)

[@Jinglefreetacos]

#meepleday I absolutely love dungeons dice and danger! I've been able to get quite a few friends hooked on it as well. It's fun to hear a groan from the other side of the table when you announce you killed a certain monster one round before they could.

[@jtflynn]

Just played Rajas of the Ganjes yesterday with my 2p partner wife, inspired by your play through. Really love your vibes. Thanks and happy #meepleday

[@ourgratefulhearts]

Happy #meepleday 🎉 We love your content!!! You have taught us so many games. ❤

[@Agrios211]

Thanks for all you guys do!! #meepleday

[@Painguinlord]

I really hope to try out Terracotta Army, it seems like an amazing euro game with area control. Thank you for your content and have a happy #meepleday !

[@jaayse3690]

I finally got to play Yokohama, which I learned about through your channel! I got a copy used at a convention and now that I have played it, I can confirm that I love it as much as I thought I would. Keep up the excellent content! #MeepleDay

[@maritalanen9460]

I love your content! I'm primarily a solo gamer but I still watch your videos because you explain the rules so well and I can get a feel for the game, even solo. Thanks for all the work you put into educating us! #meepleday

[@dcarpenter2130]

I love your gameplay and review videos. You have become the channel I turn to to check out reviews! So Thank you! #MeepleDay

[@jossrdgz8]

Another great video! I love the way you explain games and your reviews specially your play throughs and final thoughts about games at two player count since I usually play with my partner. #MeepleDay

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you very much!!

[@valeriemolinari8742]

Terracotta Army seems so intriguing! Thank you for the video #meepleday

[@GamingWithSantanas]

My wife and I really enjoyed Dungeons, Dice and Danger. Very unique! We also have Get On Board but have yet to play it. Can't wait to try it out. #MeepleDay

[@duckafro]

Great content and vibe from you guys! #MeepleDay

[@Undermind9]

I'm excited for GenCon, but missed an opportunity to get lodging at a reasonable price and had to pass on the event. Thank you for the wonderful 2p content and overview and teaches. Always my first channel to look for when learning a new game #meepleday

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeah the lodging rates are insane for GenCon. Hopefully 🤞 next year.

[@lostfanatic6]

There are too many games to keep up with 😂 thanks for showing them off and thanks for the giveaway! #MeepleDay

[@bcrus56]

This was a great review as rhese games are ones that are much easier to find now. Great vid! #meepleday

[@srebme2]

Love your content! #meepleday congrats on finishing uwe

[@El-gu2hi]

#meepleday I love this channel! The 2022 hits for us were Woodcraft, Terra Nova, and Joan of Arc Orleans Draw and Write. Several we played didn’t work for us and others we enjoyed, but the above are definite keepers.

[@grizzlygrowl8731]

Love your channel!! You guys are the board game couple goals! Keep up the awesome work. #meepleday

[@BeforeYouPlay]

😊

[@jamesmorgan1967]

#MeepleDay I'm meeting a friend on Monday for a game day and I think I'll bring Dungeons, Dice, and Danger as one of my games. Thanks for the reminder! I like the idea of hitting the pause button sometimes on all the new games and concentrating on playing the games we already have.

[@mbp21000]

Can't wait for the Uwe Rosenberg video. I know your favorite game but the rest is an enigma! #Meepleday

[@travisadork]

Thank you for hosting a giveaway. Love your channel! #MeepleDay

[@davetomasheski9509]

Newly started watching your channel and am enjoying it! #MeepleDay

[@bluefire700]

I loooovveeee terracota army. Underrated if you ask me

[@paulacalizaya3161]

I just discovered this channel and I'm already a fan! #MeepleDay

[@scottebert5520]

#meepleday Thanks for showing some not so featured recent games!

[@jstuart1980]

Thanks for the great content, keep it coming! #MeepleDay

[@walterscase359]

#meepleday love watching you guys.

[@WaywardNys]

I loved Dungeons, Dice and Dangers! It's one of my favorite roll&writes, so glad to hear you also enjoyed it :). I love that y'all cover the previous year's games later because honestly WHO CAN KEEP UP hahah. Appreciate your videos! (and: #meepleday god that Dexter shirt is cute)

[@skoposa]

I didn't think we had acquired that many 2022 games, but when I scanned through the list it looks like we have at least 27. Out of the 17 we have played so far I think the highlights have been Frosthaven, Oathsworn, Isle of Cats Explore and Draw, Bullet Star, and the Viticulture cooperative expansion. I'm most looking forward to trying Encyclopedia and Sub Terra II from our unplayed list. #MeepleDay

[@jinsoloboardgames]

Love it! Thanks, #meepleday

[@davidgodfrey880]

#MeepleDay - Thanks for everything you do...

[@nathancoaly8267]

Thanks for showing so many great games! #meepleday

[@vanessar8056]

#MeepleDay Dungeons, Dice, & Danger looks so neat to me, I’d love to try it out.

[@Denali17x]

#meepleday always enjoy your content, especially playthroughs

[@picklebuckeye]

#MeepleDay I’ve actually played Get on Board a few times on BGA, it’s really well done!

[@Immryr]

Have you played Lets Make A Bus Route the dice game? I like it quite a bit more than Get on Board, although it's a two player only game. The dice just give you more decisions to make, as in typical roll and write style you're rolling more dice than you're going to use for your turn, and what you leave behind is what your opponent chooses from. It's also just a really nice production with the dry erase boards and the top of the box lid even has foam on the inside to use as a quiet dice tray. Really cool game!

[@egee1794]

I’m a big fan of your channel, and especially like the way Monique teaches the game before your play through. I’ve watched many of your play through a to the end when considering if a game might be right for me/my group. And especially if that is a question of backing on crowdfunding. I know in those sponsored videos you are not offering an opinion, but you do a very nice job of presenting the game lay for what it is, and the teach is crisp and helpful. Anyhow…thanks. #meepleday

[@madFilipino21]

Would love to see a play through of Terracotta Army. #meepleday

[@harkinho]

The wheel in Terracota Army killed it for me! I liked the game a lot, but I did suffer a lot when I was planning my whole turn for someone to move the wheel and just have to throw the strategy down the drain. 😢

[@laurelindagold7269]

Very interested in dungeons, dice & danger for sure #MeepleDay

[@ajcrosby87]

Love watching you guys! ❤️ #meepleday

[@beneisen6982]

#meepleday The games I'm looking forward to are Sail, Queen by Midnight, and Defenders of the Dictionary

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We’re looking forward to “Sail” too. Haven’t looked too deep into the other 2 titles.

[@richardtsang22]

Awesome channel! Helped me with my Kickstarter buying decision. #MeepleDay

[@adurham9647]

Love watching! #meepleday

[@AshleyFroberg]

Def wish I could make it to GenCon. Maybe next year, #MeepleDay

[@allison2525]

Thanks for the video! Hope you can make it to Gen Con next year. #MeepleDay

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We hope so!!

[@tteshera]

Great videos - always. #MeepleDay

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

#MeepleDay I’m so excited for Wandering Tower from Capstone, 3 Ring Circus from Devir, and Ticket to Ride Legacy all have my interest.

[@shawns3911]

Inheritors is the only game you should be playing!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

It’s being picked up by North Star Games!!

[@iceman1057]

#meepleday Thanks for the reviews. I have been wondering about terracotta army, but it does not sound like a game for us. Tatsu sounds interesting. We bought Yokai Septet on your recommendation, and have enjoyed playing that as a post-game on Tichu nights.

[@ginsbu]

Would love to try Get on Board! #MeepleDay

[@wallyvdb87]

There s a translation error for Dungeon, Dice and Danger for the game ending. It s not ONE player to kill all monsters. But when the monsters get collectively killed by all players. Or in other words: 'when every monster on the dungeon has been defeated by at least one player'. This should speed the game up for you 😊

[@bookaddict777]

#MeepleDay I really want to try Terracotta Army! It looks so very cool. Thanks for both the video and te contest.

[@cragslayer9270]

Have you heard of Nucleum? From Simone Luciani and David Turczi. Can’t wait to find out more. Someone said if you like Brass and Barrage, you will like this game. 😮

[@prophet2173]

I enjoy your content and playthroughs! #MeepleDay

[@terryskinner5436]

Really looking forward to your Uwe wrap up. That was a really long series - any plans to do any more of those or was it too much with such a prolific designer? #MeepleDay

[@Flip5ide]

Thanks for the contest and content 😁 #Meepleday

[@VickyLu1]

#meepleday I’ve not played any of those games but Get on Board looks interesting!

[@fellepas]

#meepleday keep up the great work!! Love the channel ❤️

[@dennisluk5928]

#MeepleDay Keep doing what you have been doing, Love it!

[@webslinger9]

Thanks for all your hard work! #meepleday

[@ahemi0520]

Love your channel! And the Dexter shirt #meepleday

[@richardsternickle5825]

Love how you do your teach!! #meepleday

[@DavidBrown-hy4vm]

#MeepleDay Tatsu sounds like it does some new things in trick taking.

[@zen4one588]

I think my shelf of opportunity is starting to outweigh my played games 🙂 #meepleday

[@melindabeavers3445]

Same 😑😂

[@BeforeYouPlay]

😂

[@wemf2]

#Meepleday Try Seize the Bean if you get the chance to play it! Love the theme, art and the engine building aspect!

[@meganokamoto605]

#MeepleDay Thanks for another great video! I'm so excited for Ticket To Ride Legacy.

[@justinholmes63]

I potentially may be moving to LA for work by the end of the year. What is the best way to find a new board game group? Love your channel and content 😃

[@trevorlach5588]

Rose meeples should be a thing always! #MeepleDay

[@skyecrescent]

#MeepleDay Love your videos! I've gotten some of my games because of your channel!

[@thegreatdane908]

We are hoping to start getting more campaign games off of our shelf of opportunity now that we have a space we can play and then keep the cats out of so we can leave things set up. 😂 Love the discussion, thanks as always! #meepleday

[@erical.7050]

Thank you for the great videos. #meepleday

[@williamgohl]

Love your content! #MeepleDay

[@danielkeim8558]

#meepleday I am dying to try Earthborne Rangers, which should be coming to backers soon!

[@don_dad]

Making my list for GenCon both new and used from the virtual flea market. Sad you aren't going to be there. #meepleday

[@evandavies9483]

#Meepleday Thank you for all your content!

[@bigmyc88]

I love your videos. Keep up the great work. #meepleday

[@hamburglar919]

#meepleday - Thanks for the content. I am really looking forward to Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era.

[@marybethboyd]

Wonderful video, as always :) Hope y’all have a fantastic weekend! Try and stay cool! #MeepleDay
