World Wonders is such a slam dunk of a game for Ze. Very much looking forward to expansions beyond Mundo and whatever next design he does.

[@eb42193]

I completely agree!! I am so impressed with World Wonders and can’t wait to buy all the expansions for it. I will also be keeping an eye out for whatever Ze Mendes does in the future because my god is World Wonders such a wonderful game. That is a game you can tell was playtested extensively to get it perfect and the cleanest and to make sure everything works with each other perfectly

[@crimsonstudios680]

I have Spurs, it’s a lot of fun and I really enjoy what it has to offer in comparison to the much bigger Western Legends. I’m keeping it in my collection because what it offers is different enough, and I still enjoy both

[@BoardGameCasualChannel]

I really want to try Ancient Knowledge and Master of Respect.

[@emptycloakgaming6229]

Time Stories...yeah...tabletop's answer to the question, "Can a bad ending ruin an otherwise great experience?" ☹

[@felipecampos9633]

Tom, what you pick between World wonders or Life of Amazonia???

[@petercsm5769]

I just watched the five year old review and, surprisingly, Kushi Express is more of shish kabob dexterity game that looks fun for kids.

[@RuNacken]

Cupcake empire needs more love!

[@nothing3376]

Do you guys think you’ll ever add a 15 year option?

[@thedicetower]

Probably not. It's already a lot of work doing four options. I think 15 years can wait until it's 20. Now will I do 30 in 8 years? I'll worry about that then. :)

[@nothing3376]

@@thedicetower that makes sense. I’ll just be sad all the games in the 10 year category are pushed out and gone for a decade!

[@Nic1700]

I'd kind of like to see a reskin or reworking of Master of Respect with Cobra Kai / The Karate Kid IP

[@adwilliams1987]

I love Spurs! The components are really low quality but I think the game play is better than Western Legends.

[@BoardGameCasualChannel]

Nice, I'll have to look this one up!

[@Sparticuse]

I did not enjoy World Wonders. You can only do a couple of things per round, and then the market wipes, so it's super opportunistic. I want long-term planning in a game about building wonders.

[@1235q]

It's a light casual game with mostly tactical decisions. Not every game needs to be super strategic.

[@Sparticuse]

​@1235q games can be light with long-term planning. Faraway is a great example.

[@Hemux0]

Tom, I don't care at all about the game (never played it) but just so you know, Kushi is a skewer in Japanese, not sushi ;) Skewer Express? sort of. Hope it helps!

[@thedicetower]

Thanks!

[@ginewes]

Has there ever been a drop by 3 points before? 😮

[@nothing3376]

Based on how bad that set was plus the age of the game I’m shocked it’s not more

[@gamera2351]

Aww Tom you also didn’t think the Game of Thrones ending was good? Sigh….. There are so little men of fine taste.
