Board Games I Played This Month | May 2023

[@OurFamilyPlaysGames]

Duuude, what a great list of games you got to play!! Honestly, though, it just put a couple of things on our list of things to check out, like Tucano and Res Arcana, but seeing Starry Night Sky, Everdell, and Scythe? Absolute bangers. Fun month-- great video! - G

[@drendelous]

thanks to Rahdo for mentioning your channel, instantly subscribed 🌟 After a few sessions of Hegemony my partner and I started Clinic Deluxe and now that our copy of Earthborne rangers arrived we just cannot help ourselves. The game is so gorgeous and adorable, I got so lucky it has been localized here so that more people can enjoy this cooperative marvel.

[@rolling.reggie]

Welcome! So grateful to Rahdo as well. More content on the way soon. I want to play Earthborne Rangers so badly!!! My coworker has it, hope we can get a session in the new year.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Love the love for Res. I need to play the expansions!

[@rolling.reggie]

Great game. You gotta try them both. Add me on BGA if you are willing to play turn based. rolling_reggie

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@rolling.reggie Sent! Sent a quick DM on Twitter about it too.

[@lmpreston1]

Oh fun! Cowboy Beebop, Wildlands, DC Deckbuilder, Wonder Woman, Dresden Files, Flamecraft, Roll for the Gallaxy

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great month of gaming for you! Soooo happy you got to play Scythe, that game is so so so good! I find it really hard to learn games on BGA but I still play them always haha even if I have no idea what I'm doing! Always love playing games with you on BGA! :D

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you for watching! I guess we will have to add Scythe to the ever-growing list of games will play together at a future convention :)

[@tracieperez2629]

I first played Next Station London on BGA and immediately, thought that I needed to add it to my collection, great flip and write! And yes, it would be great to see your version of the board game awards! How Fun!

[@DonGilstrap]

I had a busy month outside board games. Only 35 total plays of 25 different games. I even went to a big con at the end of the month but got surprisingly few games in there. The top plays were lighter games like nana, Silver & Gold, and Werewords. The most notable new game for me was Argent: The Consortium. Really enjoying digging into that game. I’m interested in an awards video, definitely.

[@rolling.reggie]

Hello my friend. KublaCon seemed so fun! Making sure it’s on my list for 2024 :D I gotta check some of these lighter ones out but Silver & Gold is one of my faves and almost made his list.

[@rolling.reggie]

nana definitely has my attention. Gonna watch OFPGs recap tomorrow to hear more about how the con was!

[@GameEnthus]

I love the AZUL series. I think my favorite might be Stained Glass of Sinatra. It doesn't get its due

[@rolling.reggie]

Yeah I need to play all of the other versions!

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Hi Reggie, Radlands is pretty rad, no? The artist for that game also did Wonderland's War. I also play Next Station: London on BGA somewhat regularly. They have a "daily solo challenge" on there and I don't know why, but the game is kind of addicting. (BGA also has Next Station: Tokyo in beta.) In May I played 13 games (many of them at least twice), including: Earth, Yokohama Duel, Welcome To, The Red Cathedral, Parks: Nightfall, Cascadia, Trailblazers, and Wingspan. Headed off to a game of Blood on the Clocktower later today. Enjoy your videos...thanks for posting!

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you for commenting! I really need to play Wonderlands War it’s probably in my top three most anticipated game I want to try. You have good taste!

[@IllBuythePopcorn]

Great gaming month! I really want to play Everdell. I was hoping to try it out when I went to bgg spring but was always checked out ☹️. When I'm learning a game on bga I just click on things until I'm able to do something. 😆

[@rolling.reggie]

Everdell is a must try! And LOL I think we all just try our best on BGA. Thank you for watching :)

[@alicia1465]

Radlands is a lot of fun! I have only played Everdell Pearlbrook so far, though I have them all. We both love Pearlbrook and never play without it (well, I guess we will have to when we visit some other big expansions, but still). It gives you something else to go for if you aren’t getting the right cards you need for objectives, as it replaces those board objectives with wonders you can construct with resources. I recommend it!

[@rolling.reggie]

That is great to hear! Pearlbrook is probably the second most recommended one I hear about, so I have to add it to my list. Radlands is RAD

[@adib.7545]

Kinda just binge watched your videos 😅, but if your looking for games with birds, you could try out - Birdie fight. It's a super cute simple card game.

[@rolling.reggie]

I really appreciate you checking them out! I discover and binge a new channel like every week lol. I will look into Birdie Fight

[@iamdreamom]

Spirecrest is my favourite Everdell expansion

[@rolling.reggie]

Hi Dreamom! Thank you for sharing, I'm going to look into all of them.

[@BoardGameDave]

Hey there, Reggie! Great round-up of an awesome gaming month! ☺ Scythe is one of my all-time favorites-so glad you had a chance to play it! And I've never played Everdell with any of the expansions but I recently received Newleaf and Mistwood and I'm looking forward to how they'll impact the gameplay!

[@rolling.reggie]

Thanks for the visit, I am still dying to try the Everdell expansions. And Scythe truly did not disappoint.

[@BoardGameDave]

@@rolling.reggie I'm so glad to hear it! Scythe is such a phenomenal game! ☺

[@Boardgamesafari]

Really like your videos.😊 I also love Wingspan 😁 ..... and birding. Have you tried "Songbirds" (nice little tricky card game) and "Birdwatcher" (a beautiful illustrated set collection card game)? Maybe two more games for your bird game collection.😁

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you thank you! I actually have both of these on my radar. I always like to snag small box games so I will probably start with Songbirds.

[@Amadre278]

I’ll also say that Piepmatz is an excellent bird themed small card game. Strongly recommend for bird fans and fans of crunchy card games.

[@rolling.reggie]

Just got Piepmatz delivered yesterday! Will be playing over the holiday break.

[@francopdx]

Everdell is one of my favorite games. I've played with parts of the Bellefaire expansion a few times. Pearlbrook has made it to the table once or twice, and I definitely want to try it more. My favorite so far, though, has been Spirecrest, which adds an interesting wrinkle with the seasonal weather adversity, which in turn adds another layer to deciding when to change seasons; also, the expedition tiles provide a reason to prepare for season before other players - whereas before it seems pretty much always better to stay in a season as long as possible. And Scythe ranks up there for me too! I played through the Fenris campaign over the winter and very much enjoyed it. I'm looked to explore the Wind Gambit expansion next (airships and different endgame triggers).

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you for watching/commenting Franco! I have heard Spirecrest a few times now in the comments. I am def intrigued by the incentive to actually prep for the next season. Really wanna try all the Scythe expansions now too.

[@stephengoodner]

Awesome video as always! Really hoping to try Everdell and Res Arcana; both look really cool. Scythe and Azul are regulars for us. We find Scythe to just be fantastic every time we play! Also 54 plays!? NICE!

[@rolling.reggie]

Goodner!! Hello again. I highly recommend Everdell and Res Arcana. I do pref them both IRL but Everdell has an app that is GREAT and Res Arcana is on BGA. Scythe was such a blast cannot wait to play again. Thanks for watching old friend!

[@markdandridge4433]

I am a big fan of Dwellings of Eldervale. I play that the most. I did break out Wingspan and Friday this month.

[@rolling.reggie]

Friday is on my list! Thank you for watching + commenting.

[@bigfro77]

Endless Winter and Scythe!!!

[@rolling.reggie]

I have to try Endless Winter, I keep hearing good things!

[@CG_Hali]

I've got all the expansions of Everdell except Pearlbrook. As a women, Everdell is in my top ones! A big adventure with cute animals and no meanness or gory stuff, yes please! If your wife is a lighter gamer, then yes Bellfaire would help make the choices easier for her especially thanks to the market and the added goal cards which are easier than the original game. Try to find on sale, Everdell expansions are very expensive for what you get in the box. Newleaf is cool and definitely helps refresh the cards in a lower player count. Love the new cards it adds!!! Spirecrest is for adding complexity and challenges. The mega meeples are cool as heck. Mistwood is really for those who want solo or really want a 3-4 player experience but for 2-players. Adds adversity but it's pretty fast to play the turn, well designed.

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you for the breakdown on all of these!! I am keeping an eye out for any and all sales.

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

I say Skithee... lol I been loving Starry Night Sky. PWH Praise be!

[@rolling.reggie]

Ohhh that's how you pronounced it! Praise be! Thank you for watching.

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

@RollingReggie no I am sure you pronounce it correctly, and I know I pronoun it wrong

[@Chase-nd5oc]

Would definitely like to see your version of the board game awards! If you do, could you do a quick contrast in the difference between your categories vs the official ones?

[@rolling.reggie]

Good idea!

[@tfpp1]

Well at least you don’t say Scythe “sith” like my brother does.

[@rolling.reggie]

LOL I guess I have some standards. Thanks for watching!

[@jordanpressnail9540]

Awesome! Love Radlands but similar, my husband does not

[@rolling.reggie]

You feel my pain! But, she plays so many games with me I can only be grateful lol

[@garrettgreen6295]

I do need to try pan am!

[@rolling.reggie]

Me, you, and Jm gotta play! It's literally got a Stock mechanic.

[@garrettgreen6295]

@@rolling.reggie yes, let’s do it!
