Best Games of the Month VLOG - December 2024

[@georgioschalikias4883]

Merry Christmas ! I would like to take the opportunity to thank you Paul for all your Videos, Patreon activities, and for organizing and running GRIDCON... For so many of us, you make our lives better, more happy and surely more bearable and fun ! I know that a simple thank you is so little to describe how thankful we all are. I am 52 years of age, a father of two and a carer of many and my one and only ADVICE for anyone in the field of "playing or enjoying games" is: IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPIER IN LIFE, BE A PATRON OF GAMING RULES! As a closing remark, I would also to thank Victoria for all the support she is giving to the channel. If it wasn't for you, the channel would be so much poorer !

I had a similar "pre-cancer" scare with a spot on my nose and have to follow-up with dermatology every year. But the important thing is to be proactive and advocates for ourselves. Delaying checkups because we fear a diagnosis only makes it worse. Thanks for all your content last year and Happy New Year.

[@rahdo]

yeah dungeon legends is pretty cool, but the total lack of information about how to spend icons "freeform" has to be one of the biggest oversights in a rulebook i've seen in a long time! :) also very happy that the blemish turned out be to benign! huzzah!

[@vinnieyang5422]

You weren't asking for advice but just in case it helps: stress is a major contributor to so many illnesses and deaths so a bit of nihilism here would help. You can't predict the future and whatever happens, you can only do so much. So do what you can but instead of worrying and stressing over it, enjoy the other things that are worth enjoying. And Happy New Year!

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Thank you for your thoughts.

[@nirszi]

So glad you are all ok health wise. I hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you and Vicky a wonderful 2025.

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

Sorry to hear about your medical experience. You're keeping on it! Good for you 👍🏻

[@diegoghesini5622]

Merry Christmas to you and your Family Paul. Has been great see you play with your dad, I start this hobby to late, otherwise I would love share a similar experience! Thanks for everything you do for us. Glad it's all sorted now. Thanks again, have a great 2025!!!!

[@vloche11]

Merry Christmas to you and Vicki. Thank you for all your wonderful contributions to this hobby. It’s a better space thanks to you Paul.

[@elainetyger]

I'm delighted that you enjoyed playing Bahama Taxi. I felt so miserable from that stupid cold that day and couldn't do anything for real, so that chat and game with you and Zach was the highlight of my Thanksgiving and my birthday.

[@decb7959]

Health is wealth, Paul. Merry xmas.

[@bookaddict777]

Happy Christmas, Paul, to you and yours. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you do during the year. It is very much appreciated!

[@wendydeklerk9960]

Merry Christmas Paul to you and yours. That was quite a scare at the beginning of this month. Good thing you got it treated. I hope your mind is at ease about is now. A very happy and healthy 2025! Thank you for everything you do for the boardgame community! Warm regards, Wendy from Rotterdam Netherlands

[@HarleyFirestorm]

With regards to Harakiri, we sent two characters who had the least amount of side quests to finish and completed it, but once I saw there was going to be a re print, I stopped the game to paint it in readiness for the update pack. Will this update pack 'fix' the 'problems' that has been crowd funded on Gamefound As someone who loves feudal Japanese history this game is one of my favorites

[@KDSBestGameDev]

Funny is that I didn't know that the enemies should be revealed. Must have overread it. I always kept then secret. The 4 moon limit, I knew because of course I watch all your videos ❤. Is a very niche szenario. Merry Christmas🎉. Thanks for your private story. Happy that everything is fine. It is totally normal to worry about such things especially with your back story. Sorry for your lost. I'm so much looking forward to your next videos. You are single handedly my most watched youtuber and the one that makes me buy alot of awesome games. ❤

[@RasmusNicolajWest]

Happy holidays to you and Vicki. And glad to hear you are ok.

[@craigcameron3469]

Merry Christmas all. Thanks for all your efforts throughout the year, Paul. Gridcon was a massive highlight for us, and looking forward to next year. Happy Gaming everyone

[@frankhechtner3156]

Thanks for this wonderful Christmas Vlog. Now, I learned that Dorf Romantik is cooperative. Besides this, I am happy to hear, and maybe that's the best Christmas gift for you; there's nothing serious with that dark point on your skin. Thanks for talking about it. I wish you a happy Christmas. Thanks for a fantastic year of GR content. Best frank

[@Dell999950]

Look after yourself - looking forward to Puerto Rico video as I've backed it

[@Resilio67]

Happy holidays Paul, and thanks for a great and interesting video as always 👍😊 If it's a dice cup just beside the lamp, I want one 😃

[@klaus3856]

I am very interested in seeing how the new Puerto Rico solo mode plays, I have not seen any play throughs.

[@feldmanjb]

I have a couple house rules for Andromedas Edge - You can place new planets wherever you want in the new row, raiders cards face down, and combat triggers the event track

[@davidturczi5713]

I'm very happy stcc has got you hooked. Now just alternate with Voidfall, and you're set for life. 😇😎🖖

[@redchuchee]

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

[@wicked8576]

btw, I have a house rule in the solo mode of Terraforming Mars: I do a draft with two sets of 4 cards, picking one card of the first set and then discarding (randomly) one of the other set, before picking the second card (from that other set, and so on, until I have 4 out of 8 cards in hand to choose from for the round.. 😅

[@dennisleung463]

Merry Christmas Paul! Thank you for the videos this year. Wishing you great health in the upcoming year!

[@Coramoor213]

Sounds like it was a good month. Thanks for the update.

[@Kamion991]

Merry Christmas Paul! 🎄

[@starshadow8857]

Merry Christmas Paul!!!!

[@LeonardoLacchini]

Merry Christmas ! Stay care!

[@BoardGaymesJames]

22:00 did the red shirts die first?

[@rplea]

Happy Christmas!

[@jcw59able]

Merry Christmas

[@johndavidharding]

Civolution is also my favorite of 2024! Tho, I wonder whether Captain’s Chair would have stolen the throne had it been released. Also, I am happy to see some love for Fields of Arle-my favorite Uwe game and my favorite game period!

[@michaeledmonds4849]

Agemonia is so good, we need to get back to it. (trying to complete Oathsworn currently)

[@wicked8576]

I need to check the video of you and your dad playing Fields of Arle.. 😅

[@OrionMellissa]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@georgioschalikias4883]

Ha ! Cows and a sheep !!! Are they your new friends ?

[@SardonicArtery]

Jealous over your Captain’s Chair reps. Beyond starting with Picard on cadet mode, any other tips for easing into STCC?

[@IosifStalin2]

Up ! Up! Up!

[@rulesbyrambleshanks1289]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Paul & Vicky. Hopefully see you at the next Gridcon

[@MaSchmi]

we keep the aliens face down too, much better experience.

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Yeah, and for someone like me who wants all information up front, I'm surprised I prefer it that way.

[@Thorgrimm]

Kraftwagen recap had me pause the VLOG and go watch the Kraftwagen playthrough, now I'm ordering Kraftwagen on Christmas, scandalous.

[@Darkhan9]

For me, Dwelings of Eldervale was a horrible game, worst i've ever played. It's the only game I stopped the play mid through, and said sorry, I can't go on playing this. So, how is Andromeda's Edge in comparison? Will it change my opinion?
