[@alexyu4549]

Thank you for giving us professional, well written content with engaging visuals. All the main questions about games are addressed quickly, the organization is nice, especially with contents in the description, and I have been introduced to many new board games through these videos. I also appreciate the nice studio set up and the shots of the games; very professional and engaging.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Much appreciated! It's really awesome to hear people enjoy this content makes all the work worth it! Have a good one Alex!

[@hattierensberry1561]

I love this suggestion video formatting. So efficient and covers so many different types of games within the co-op sphere.

[@jameslugh3641]

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks James! We appreciate it! Will keep working on it!

If you enjoy Eldritch Horror and TIME Stories, you really need to check out Arkham Horror: The Card Game. It has completely replaced Eldritch Horror for me! And the story is great. Win or lose a scenario and the story goes on with the choices you made that affect the game and story going forward. Brilliant design.

[@RyuBateson218]

I gave it away because my gf hates horror games. We are looking at LotR LCG now. Hope that does a same thing for us but without the rituals and occult stuff.

[@JTilaks]

I've been eying it for a while now. The only thing stopping me is that I have a big collection of LOTR LCG and seeing how it went with that I'll want to buy it all. But alright.. I'm ordering it now and if I go bankrupt in the next few months it's on you Ryan! :D

[@qu3tzl]

Great production, subbed.

[@CorranOsgor]

I Just have to say i stumpled over your Channel and i rly Love it so far. Good Work and perfect dynamic between you 2. Look Forward to watch more.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hey Thomas! We're really happy to hear that. Really motivates us to do more :)

[@krisscrims]

Lately with my wife, we really enjoy coops in escape room genre - Unlock! series, Exit series, etc. + deduction like Chronicles of Crime. Also The Crew, we have had blast with that in bigger group. A year ago, when we got Pandemic, we clocked around 30 plays at least, but lately I just sometimes play it solo in app on iPad... :D

[@gruntsudens]

Unlock! is my favorite of escape style games I have played and I am very excited for the kids version coming out.

[@jethypendl]

I recently got Pandemic and I love it! It's my first co-op game and I enjoy it also has a lot of planning and strategy in it.

[@ivanstanic1309]

​@@jethypendl Try Spirit Island it's 🧠🔥 I have Pandemic, SI is like 10x harder.

[@nouilleaupoulet3597]

If you like the coop escape games, maybe you'll like the ''Key Enigma, Hack forward''. It is a little expensive but it takes 8 hours.

[@TheMadzharov]

I like your reviews. I am watching 10 diff channels for board game reviews and you are the only one I actually subscribed for. It will be great if you do a video for the Top War games

[@almondroy]

seriously recommend "a tale of pirates" for real time co op. Super underrated when its so unique and fun

[@gruntsudens]

I looked up and it seems I had this on my wish list, but for some reason removed it. Must investigate! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@gunward2835]

First time stumbling upon your channel. I like the format! My picks would be as following: Real-time: 5 Minute Dungeon (super quick to pick up and play, borderline party game) One and done: 7th Continent (amazing game, but I would unlikely play an old curse again, even though part of the puzzle is to stay alive) Heavy Games: Gloomhaven (heavy in rules, tactics, time and time, but what a game!) For everyone: Pandemic (any version, but I prefer Rising Tide) Wild: Nemesis, semi co-op game mode (Alien: The Board Game. One of, if not the, most cinematic board games ever)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Awesome picks! We enjoy 7th Continent as well... just the dying and redoing everything all over again starts to wear on you real quick.

[@Mathroy]

Very good video, love how you guys are passionate about board games. I subscribed!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thank you! We love board games!

[@Bieranti]

Thumbs up for some love for MagicMaze games. Between two castles actually was a vlever choice when I think about that. My additions would be Exit for one and done, Escape tales for story, Forbidden desert for family and Robinson crusoe for heavy.

[@gruntsudens]

All good choices, but I did think that the first Escape tales story was a bit our there ;)

[@henseltbrumbleburg3752]

I really like Escape the dark castle. It has a retro feeling to it, like a lost game from centuries ago you found in your grandads attic or something. Cool game.

[@BoardGameHangover]

The aesthetics for that game are amazing. But we are yet to try that one.

[@longtimeninerfan1309]

“Fuse” is a great “real time” co-op game that IS played in ten minutes.

[@romanderman9000]

Background numbers👍

[@sombert2acc571]

I recommend kitchen rush to you guys for the co-op real time. Its such a great game

[@MarkSchamel]

Great channel!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Great viewer ;)

[@MrSahdred]

I'm a huge fan of dungeon crawlers. Probably my favorite game of all is Shadows of Brimstone.

[@Dwigii]

Amazing list, but the correct answers are :D real time - The Mind one and done - Pandemic Legacy 0 heavy - Arkham Horror LCG everyone - Just One 2p - Codenames: Duet wild - Nemesis

[@gruntsudens]

That is a great list. And yes I should have included Nemesis in my list. Grrr.

[@JTilaks]

Well, I was close in the Heavy category.. Can I get at least half a point? :D

[@viljums]

Surprised that Janis didn't pick Nemesis

[@gruntsudens]

Well, to be honest, I would not count Nemesis as a co-op, even though Nemesis is one of my all time favorite games. But now that I think about it, it could have fit the Wild Card category. Well darn, now we will have to make another co-op video some time.

[@piercefabruada3851]

Wow! Nice content! I also want to share this Lagim Card game that my family and I are enjoying. It's amazing that they actually came up with the idea of Philippine Folklore since it's kind of dying down a bit. It will surely educate future generations.

[@romanderman9000]

Wild card pick: Survive Escape from Atlantis

[@gruntsudens]

What? One of the most cut throat games of all time?

[@romanderman9000]

@@gruntsudens I think that one is hilarious, it's coop till some point :D and then cut throat begins :D

[@gruntsudens]

@@romanderman9000 Hah, you must have a friendly group. As in our games on the first turns someone will throw your guy into water hoping for a shark or get into a boat and sail away alone.

[@ammi7985]

Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island?

[@romanderman9000]

12:47 City?

[@gruntsudens]

Yeah, castle. He might be thinking of Between two Cities.

[@JTilaks]

I meant Castle :D Srry...

[@PedroCarvalho-lb7qx]

Anyone know where to kind the game Witness?

[@BoardGameHangover]

I think only in second hand market, like on Boardgamegeek.com

[@georgszalitis806]

Kur jūs dabujāt Horrified?!!! Viņu tik grūti dabūt

[@gruntsudens]

Pamēģini Board Game Geek, tur ir viens beļģis, kurš tirgo.

[@RyuBateson218]

We played the last part of the expansion of the Harry Potter game last night. Damned does that game have serious flawes. You better hope you have a good market or you are screwed. No strategy at all. You only defeat enemies that are a problem and discard the rest of your damage so you can build your deck. Than you have to hope the market is playable because you can't get rid of them and then you wait for like 4 hours until you finally get through all those villians and creatures. The creatures you can damage are fine but the onces you have to buy away are annoying because you can only pay 1 each turn to do so so the game takes forever. Really overstaying it's welcome. If a game is deep, 4 hours is fine. If you are doing the same thing over and over and are just hoping to get something decent out of the market then 4 hours is way to long.

[@JTilaks]

Agreed, it's not well balanced. We actually have few house rules that you might find improves the game: With two coins you can discard one card from the market ( they added a way to discard market in one of the expansion as well, but it was all or none ) and bad effects that impact "All players" will affect only the active player and the next player. We found that this levels out the playing field if you have more than two players and speeds it up, because players will have more turns. And you would be surprised that it's doesn't make the game easy at all. Interestingly we've never had a game over 2 hours, but I would agree that 4 hours is way too long for it. Thanks for the comment! It's fun reading other players experiences!

[@clarkkent7973]

No mention of Pandemic?

[@BoardGameHangover]

At that point we had drafted it before and we made these series with the idea that you can't pick a game that's already chosen in another video. ;)
