It would be nice if you have videos on games in the list to have those linked in the description or comments. This is by far my favourite board game channel. Underrated imo!

Heavy - Spirit Island (7) Filler - The Crew (35) Euro - Dwellings of Eldervale (5) Solo - Marvel Champions (66) 2p - Marvel Champions Campaign - Marvel Champions (Sinister Motives) Cant get enough - Marvel Champions 😅

[@ShootingSunMedia]

Spirit island and Marvel Champions are one of my top games too! I have been eyeing Dwelling of Eldervale recently and wonder what you thought of it for 2 players or Solo? Or just thoughts in general :) I can appreciate the tactile components, the adventure feel and natural elements of the game. Just havent played the game yet. Thanks in advance!

[@olivierjodoin2283]

​@@ShootingSunMedia Spirit Island has been my #1 game for 2 years and I've played it less this year than last 2 years (37 and 32 plays). Marvel Champions I just bought last November and my son and I are obsessed with it. Dwellings I tried one 4p game and then it confirmed I had to buy the game. Played two solo games to make sure I had the rules right and then played a 4p game and a 2p game, every time with all new players. I think it scales incredibly well. I have a lot of games that shine at 1-2p but very few medium-heavy games that work well at 3-4p so that's why I expect to play Dwellings mostly at 3-4p, but it's not at all because it doesn't work well at 1-2p. The solo mode is really well done and there's still tons of interaction at 2p. My top 10 games has been incredibly stable for 2 years with no other games breaching in until very recently when both Marvel Champions and Dwellings broke through.

[@olivierjodoin2283]

​@@ShootingSunMedia do you have a bgg profile where I might see what games you play to get suggestions? Mine is KingEngine1

[@ShootingSunMedia]

@@olivierjodoin2283 thank you for the detailed response. that's very insightful! I'll consider it. Happy gaming!

[@sylinmino]

For 2 player games, definitely Star Wars Unlimited. I've spent countless hours, both with TCG and non-TCG friends, delving into it. For family games, The Quest for El Dorado has almost never missed in any crowd with which I've played. For heavier games, I've not played enough of those this year to be honest. Super hard to get to the table. But Star Wars Rebellion is probably the top pick there.

[@Stutzkraft]

Heavy - Grand Austria Hotel (4) Filler - Ohanami (18) Solo - Marvel Champions (33) Euro - Shipwrights of the North Sea (15) 2-Player - Star Wars Unlimited (88) Story - Arkham Horror LCG (11) Can’t Get Enough - Marvel Zombies (8)

[@grzegorzobszanski7081]

[@greggeroni2180]

I really want to play TMB but the rulebook is just so daunting and then the idea of trying to explain it, i feel like i would never get it on the table. Also i am not really a solo type of guy

[@tzgardner]

Heavy -- Thunderstone Quest (6) Filler -- So Clover (5) Euro -- White Castle (3) Solo -- Under Falling Skies (11) 2 Player -- Overpower (3) Campaign -- None Can't Get Enough -- Heat (8)

[@seanschelin243]

Hard to say what our most played games are since me and my girlfriend started playing in February! First game we got was Azul and we really love it. That being said, I got Cascadia a month or two afterwards and that probably is our most played game of the half year so far. If I were to predict what our most played game of the year will be, it would probably be Ark Nova and Gaia Project. 😄Big resource management games are like crack for me and my girlfriend.

[@RLeeUpper90]

Another banger video as always, for me it's: Heavy game: Spirit Island Filler game: Sushi go party Euro game: Ark Nova Solo game: N/A, but want to try meadow solo, love this game in general 2 player game: Dice Throne, love at all player counts too Story: Harry Potter Hogwarts battle, sort of a story game haha. Cant get enough: Ark Nova

[@FoeJred]

I finally got We're Sinking in the mail and I've played it probably 10 times already this month.😅 This game plays SO WELL at higher player counts. Everyone enjoyed it and cant wait to try out the expansion enemies next!

[@robertthurman9866]

What are your favorite 3 games of all time and why do you never get them to the table? 🙂

[@amemename]

Why is the guy on the lest such a party pooper lol. At least he could not scuff at the funny guy on the right.

[@wanplaypause]

Where’s party games? 😢

[@BoardGameHangover]

Great list!

[@shocknawe]

I think you should rename the video “most played so far”, perhaps even put “july 2024” on it. People are gonna find it later and it’s gonna age like an unlabelled April 1st video.

[@viesturskokarevics2427]

Most played heavy TI4, euro both Dune Imperium versions, filler Splendor.

[@christosmegas5122]

yeeeeeeeeeah! Dorfromantik!

[@javierburgosh]

not playing hegemony any more?

[@BoardGameHangover]

Playing it a lot, but these got played a little bit more

[@Big_Dai]

Wow, this is in the running for worst thumbnail ever

[@mckeoncrawford9262]

Would you guys recommend someone getting Hegemony if they most likely will have to play at 2 players.

[@BoardGameHangover]

No, for us it's quite exclusively a 4 player game.

[@cgrice1971]

We like it best at 3 players

[@Kapkeh]

I wouldn't recommend it at 2 players. We thought it was playable at 3 but won't play it with 3 anymore. Definitely shines at 4 and is a brilliant game that way.
