[@lauranapier6974]

So glad to find some more Canadian board gamers! Loved your guys' top 10 lists. My current favourite is 'Caper: Europe'! My partner and I can't stop playing it. I love how it flows, the tug of war feeling, and how quick it is to set-up/reset. 'Honey Buzz' is probably tied for first, too.... and 'Everdell'.... and 'Parks'... ahhhh don't make me choose! Haha.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Hahahahha keep going, you'll have your own top 10 list! So happy to find more Canadians!! Good luck, Laura!!

Awesome giveaway!! My favourite game of all time is Dice Throne. It’s a push-your-luck dice and card Battler where you each get to play as totally unique heroes like a Moon Elf, a Pirate, or a Shadow Thief. Each character has totally unique and thematic mechanics within the game system, so it’s really exciting to try a new character and learn about all their unique cards and abilities. There are easy to learn heroes and ones that take several games to really figure out (like the tricky artificer). I’ve played thousands of games and truly I still can’t wait to play it again. No other game has that kind of longevity to me. Oh and the art is so good. Totally my style.

[@fossrus1983]

My fav: Brass Birmingham! Thanks for the comp. Glad I found your channel!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Glad you've found our channel too! Nic would agree with you on that one! 😁

[@TheMarvin676]

Nice to see some more great Canadian 🇨🇦 content! Currently my favorite game is Merchant’s Cove. I really like playing it at all player counts. Super fun!

[@JohnnyMcNabb63]

My favorite is Dice Thrown.. love it. Easy to teach , easy to play. Can’t wait to get Marvel dice Throne

[@joelface]

Yes!!! Same here!

[@siruglypants1688]

spirit island! I love the complexity and the puzzle at every turn

[@communis_]

Great lists! Still haven't played quite a few that were mentioned but you've certainly gotten me excited and wanting to seek them out to play. My favorite game to-date is probably still OATH, but ROOT is a super close runner up (definitely a huge fan of Leder Games). Good luck to everyone that entered the giveaway! Thanks to Krissy and Nic for all the awesome content

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Leder games make great games so I can't blame you there, Sean!! We will have to plan another game day at Apt to Game and bring some for you! Thanks for entering and good luck to you!!

Awesome video! My favorite board game of all time has been Orleans for many years, but Everdell may be edging it out!

[@andrewjohnson5550]

My favorite game last year was Adventure Tactics. And this year it was replaced with Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion. Thnx for the chance to win!

[@deanmuramoto4796]

Hello everyone, my favorite game of all time is Aeon's End New Age this year and last year. I have been enjoying this channel the last few months alot. It is 10 pm on May 19th.

[@dalenagy6148]

Awesome job on the list! My favourite game is of all time is Everdell! This has not changed from the last year. Keep up with the great content!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Thanks so much, Dale!! Everdell is a very cute game that I wish I was better at haha! Thanks so much for watching and good luck!

[@winterstar13]

Some awesome quality content. Happy I found ya. My favs would be tied between Dice Throne and Chaos In The Old World (when I can get the full five player count)

[@benjaminbaker4168]

Wow, I am really surprised at how many games you listed that I have not played. For me, my favourite game over the years has been el grande, though gloomhaven may have stolen that spot 5 years ago and though after playing through the game I haven’t played it again, so it’s been nearly 5 years, but I still think about it and just how much I love it. Thanks for making this. It made me add several games to my interests

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Oh that's fantastic! That's why we like doing these videos (and watching them) find new games to play! 😊 thanks so much for watching and best of luck to you, Benjamin!

[@tarad2732]

Yay for a top 10! Surprised caper made it to both of your top 10! Laughed out loud at Krissy’s fix to the Everdell box was making it upside down. I also loved that playthrough of everdell you guys did- I thought it was super cute. I feel like Brass being so high is a lie given it was unsleeved. I don’t believe it. Also surprised about eclipse being so high on both your lists.. probably need to check that one out eh?

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Hahahahhaha Tara!!! Love how you're calling Nic out!!! 😅 please check Eclipse out!! Good luck to you, friend!!!

Happy to see Glen More II Chronicles in a top 10! This is my favorite of all time. Hasn't moved since I first got it. Love it so much.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

It's a really good game and I wish it hit our table more!!

[@family_meeple]

@@TwoSheepOneWheat it hits my table solo typically at least once a month if not more.

[@leonardorosasperez1963]

My favourite game at the moment is Cascadia. Although I enjoy wpg and engine building games; this tile laying game is simple and easy to play, which appeals a broad audience. It’s fun and it always make you compromise and change your strategy! Highly recommended.

[@AmeepleFamily]

Wow-what an incredible Giveaway! You guys are awesome - love the two-and-a-half giveaways lol! Liked the video & a long-time subscriber here! My number one game so far this year is Obsession - I'm just absolutely loving it in a group and solo! Looking forward to the giveaway results!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Obsession is such a great game!! Great pick for sure and thanks so much for entering, good luck!!

[@funkymarza]

My favorite game of all time is Terraforming Mars!! That was a reaaaally hard pick because I'm also a big fan of Race for the Galaxy. It hasn't changed from last year. It's been my favorite since the first day I played. Thanks for organizing the giveaway and keep up the good content :)

[@angelacvk]

I am totally new to gaming!! My favorites now are Pandemic , Robinson Crusoe and Friday. And my favorite is Robinson Crusoe! Im definitely looking forward to expanding my collection. I don't have one from last year because I just started this year!!! Glad that I found your channel

[@lauramasters524]

My fave game of all time is Wingspan - we got it last year and has been a constant play. I especially love that my daughter really likes to play it too so it’s a fun thing to do together!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Wingspan is a great game! Always a plus when someone will play with you! Great pick, Laura! Thanks so much and good luck!

[@cameronspitzer6862]

This is really awesome! I’ve played Ark Nova a couple times and it shot up to my #2. But, cosmic encounter is still my top game of all time!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Cosmic Encounters is a great game that hasn't made its way to the table in far too long!! I cannot wait to play Ark Nova! Thanks so much for entering, Cameron!! Best of luck to you!

[@kochdog]

My all-time favorite is X-Wing Miniatures! It is such a blast and I absolutely love it every time I play. I feel like that’s always been my favorite, and I think it will take some doing to dethrone it. I’m also a huge fan of Dune: Imperium and Nemesis-those games I could play forever as well!

[@boardsontables8924]

Amazing channel and people! Amazing games! Amazing giveaway! My top game is still Dwellings of Eldervale but I have definitely added a lot of new ,to me, games to my top list.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Awh! Thanks so much, Michael!! I still haven't played that game! I'll have to for sure! Thanks for entering snd the best of luck to you!!

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Great picks, Diego!! Thanks so much and best of luck to you!!

[@scottsingleton1780]

I love that Brass Birmingham made #1 because I would have to say that is also my favorite game of the moment. Keep up the great content!

[@lostfanatic6]

My favorite game of all time (currently) is Dune: Imperium. LOVE the mixture of worker placement and deck building. Arkham Horror: The Card Game is definitely up there and was my favorite last year. The branching narrative is so fun, and the card play is so satisfyingly tense. Dead Reckoning has been a new favorite with my group so it is climbing the ranks. Pirate card crafting?! Its absolutely amazing!

[@caseypeterson5827]

Solid choice, really like it. Need to try it with IX

[@brianhostetler916]

My #1 right now is Azul - love the simple, yet layered choices.

[@PBmyJam]

Anyway you flip it ;)..Everdell is da best! I can't say, for sure, it's my #1 game ever, because I haven't played it enough yet(kinda late to the party), but if I were to live inside any board game..Everdell would be my home sweet home! -Great video, and great lists. I definitely need to get a few of them. Whomever is chosen for any of these 3 games is extremely lucky..what incredible games to give away! Very generous of you to share the love to your community. I hope it continues to grow. You twos syngergy together is always entertaining.

[@designbetweenlines]

Great list! My favourite recently is Isle of Cats. Nothing beats a crunchy Polyomino game with cats on a casual game night.

[@jennyfromthebloc]

Love that you’re a Canadian based board game channel and what an awesome giveaway! My favourite game of all time (this year so far) as I’m newly into board games would have to be Viticulture Essential Edition with Tuscany. Honourable mention to my favourite cooperative game at the moment Horrified. You’ve also included many games on my ‘Want to play list’ on your list.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Ohh! Love youtubes algorithm, so happy you found us!! Viticulture is a fun one for sure and I cannot wait to try the new expansion for it! Thanks so much for entering and good luck! 😊

[@onex4664]

Lost Ruins of Arnak definatly =) getting the Expension soon, the Base Game is alrdy so awesome

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Ah, I totally agree! Arnak is a great game!

[@drjgamefan]

First video I've watched on your channel- loved the list! My favorite game is Azul. I'm a newer gamer and this is a game I can get my family to play every time.

[@NicksGuitar]

Hey Nick, this is Nick 😂 Hands down, favourite game of all time is Gloomhaven. Has been the case for the past 3 years - amazing gameplay and character building, deep strategy, and minis begging to be painted! Thanks for the giveaway!

[@theeenic3142]

Hey!

[@joeaverage2597]

I’d throw out that 7 Wonders would be the one I’d play any where. I’d play it in a box. I’d play it with a fox.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Hahaha love that! We've played 7 Wonders a bunch of times with family, it is a fun game for sure! Wonder if I'd finally win a game playing against a fox 🤔 Good luck!

[@oneysnyder2116]

This is tough to choose, but I’m going to say viticulture right now. It’s new to me in that I only tried it digitally before this year and it just didn’t click and I didn’t like it at all. Played a physical copy though and really enjoying it. Took place of Wingspan I think. Great giveaway guys! Keep up the good work.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

So happy you were able to play a physical copy! I sometimes have a hard time playing a game online that I have even played as a hard copy. So happy you're enjoying viticulture!

[@nathancooper1013]

Hard to choose my favorite game, but favorite social deduction game is the One Night Ultimate Werewolf series. I also like Awkward Guests. I have many others that have yet to hit the table, so I’m sure my answer could be very different after playing those! Great idea for a game giveaway! I’ve recently been eyeing Ark Nova, and then I found out about your giveaway. Great channel, keep up the good work!

[@elmoninja1000]

Awesome giveaway with some really insane prizes! My all time favorite game is probably Monsdrawsity. While I love heavier games with my friends, Monsdrawsity is a family friendly option that my kids beg to play! Being able to get them into the hobby while having fun as a family is why I love it. Thanks!

[@robdingman9249]

Great giveaway!!! Favorite games are TI4, Fury of Dracula, Star Wars Rebellion, and Star Trek Ascendancy

[@khronico451]

My favorite game of all time is Scythe. I enjoy it in solo and multiplayer.

[@moneybee517]

Woohoo a draw including Canada! Favourite game that I recently played would be Clank. Though we just got Fort and I am loving it.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

Clank is a fun one!! The space one caught my eye! Thanks so much for entering, and good luck! 😁

[@shanematthews5332]

My #1 game of all time is Great Western Trail, 2nd edition. Thanks for the contest. Keep making great videos and content.

[@scarlettkat6710]

My favorite game of all time would be a feast for odin! Great video! My husband and I enjoy watching your videos!!

[@MattRobertsonBixby]

Fantastic list of games in your Top 10 lists. I am afraid that I am too fickle to just pick one game for the "top" Spot. Here are my contenders ;) Cribbage: Top game with family memories attached. Loved playing crib with my mom. Poker: Top game for creating a large community / gatherings. (I have run a poker league since 2005) Formula De: Top game for league play. The game is good on it's own, but a league really ramps up the tension and trash talk. XIA: Legends of a Drift System: Top game for epic space opera feel. We have two copies and play two concurrent games! Railways of the World: Top epic game of historic pick up and delivery. (Epic because we mostly play combined East/West USA games now). Crokinole: Top game for dexterity. I mean, who does not love crokinole?!?!? Indonesia: Top game for a brutal punishing heavy ecomonic game. ...and many more. :) Thanks again for the give away. Good luck everyone!

[@fludzbehindme]

My #1 is Castles of Burgundy. Last year was Fort. Played it a lot. Would love to try ark nova. I love your videos. You make me smile.

[@joryshene3059]

My favorite game has been Descent 2e. Love playing solo with app or with buddy. I also like Gloomhaven and upcoming kickstarters I’m stoked about.

[@mitchellyost888]

My current favorite game would have to be Cascadia. One of those 'easy to teach and play, difficult to master' games. That has changed somewhat from my favorite game from last year which was probably Cartographers. I highly recommend the Cartographers expansion, Heroes, for fans of the original. . . And now that I think about it, Wingspan is also a very close favorite to Cascadia and Cartographers. Also Isle of Cats! It's so hard to choose!! Love your videos, thank you both for sharing :)

[@ReggieBomb33]

I mostly play games with my wife and daughter. If the three of us are playing, it’s Everdell. If it’s just my wife and I and we want something relaxing, we’ll build up our farms with Fields of Arle. But my wife’s and my favorite game to play is Eldritch Horror. We love the challenge and the stories it tells. That’s my number one game.

[@tabletop_paradox]

Great top 10's and great games in your giveaway! My favorite game for the past 3 years has been Everdell!

[@Mepper.]

My favorite game right now is Sleeping Gods. Last year it was different, and next year it will be different. That's because I'll be playing different games. It's just like my book collection. I can read a book or series multiple times and move on to others. I will still come back to ones from the past, but part of the excitement is finding new great games and every game can be great in different ways or with different sets of people.

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]
