Quackalope's Top 10 Campaign Games!

[@marshall4311]

I was happily surprised to see Rise of Fenris on here. If you love Scythe, it really is a must have. I played through it three times now, and would still not mind doing it again. And the best part is that everything in the box can be used in a regular game of Scythe as well.

[@Quackalope]

Yea, it really classes up the joint!

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

+1 Scythe was falling in my Top 10 and Rise of Fenris kicked it back up there again. So well done and very replayable.

[@StevenJacks]

I've only played Eila and Something Shiny out of all these, and I can vouch it's a solid story-driven game. It's such a unique way to tell a story, and super cute yet relatable.

[@Quackalope]

Yes, thank you for the vouch!

[@srebme2]

Great video! Fun editing! Intriguing list! Thanks for all that you and the Quackalope team does to support this hobby.

[@Quackalope]

Thank you - we are doing everything we can! It is mostly Shira who gets the credit of holding us all together lol

[@richarddurrer9617]

I actually grabbed the offer. Shipping to Canada nearly the same as the coffee. Well I'll give it shot.

[@Quackalope]

Nice, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

[@calebokeefe376]

I've bought Many Worlds Taverns coffee at BGG Con, it's really good and pretty strong. They've started to add tea to their inventory and I'm excited to try it soon.

[@Quackalope]

Use the code! They make great stuff :) we have been drinking the tea every morning.

[@calebokeefe376]

@@Quackalope Most definitely will use the code!

[@snypergotya]

WOW no Gloomhaven in a top 10 campaign list?!?! You have to be the first! I love that this is your list and not influenced by BGG list!

[@Quackalope]

Haha I enjoy Gloomhaven but don’t reach to pull it out. Crimson Scales though…

[@philhov]

Your channel has been an acquired taste for me. Now I am a fan. Your content is great. You don't waste my time on non-game fluff and personal chitchat. You give a good feel for each game in a concise but clear way. This is your best video yet. While I appreciate all that went into it, don't kill yourself trying to maintain or exceed these standards. Sometimes good enough is good enough. And your good enough is very good indeed.

[@photosmartkidking]

I don't drink coffee but my wife does and I bought that coffee for her and it is her favorite coffee she has had. The only downside is it is a little on the pricey side but she says it's worth it.

[@jonquill]

Thank you for this video. I grabbed Spires End: Hildegard based on this, and absolutely loved it. Sat down to give it a try, and ended up playing all the way through.

[@stitchgrrr5973]

All right Quacker. Coffee is on the way. That B roll hit all the right buttons 😊

[@stetsoncrobison]

Wow that transition from Oathsworn to Sleeping Gods was excellent! Good job!

[@Quackalope]

Ahh, glad you liked it :)

[@MegaSheldor]

@@Quackalope Gotta second that, your video quality has always been great but the transitions in this video and that one transition in particular have been amazing!

[@scottsirota4748]

I love that I actually never heard of some of these games. You’re going to end up costing me so much $$! Spire’s end looks awesome!

[@sharkey1337]

Resident Evil 3 is my personal favorite campaign I own, but ISS Vanguard has been simply amazing so far too

[@Quackalope]

I can't wait :P

[@sharkey1337]

@@Quackalope hopefully you have time to dive into Vanguard, I've personally been loving it as a solo experience running 4 characters for the planetary explorations. It's like the love child of XCOM and Mass Effect *chef kiss*

[@rogerniner]

Dude, the editing is super top notch on this

[@burtonsito]

great top 10, one day I will be able to buy KDM, it is my holy grail. :)

[@Quackalope]

One day!

[@shoruk]

Wow - didn't expect Scythe! I literally talked to someone recently how this game has such a beautiful theme that got completely lost when I played the game.. didn't feel the theme/immersion as I played. I'll have to look into the campaign... Lol.. "My number 3 game... Let's move on to number 7 .... My number 6 game..." so much editing ;) great transitions though. One that you'll have on this list when you finally get around to running it - will be Middara. We're 100+ hours in and it's been fantastic. Speaking of Kingdom Death.... where be the vids ;)

[@Quackalope]

It is a lovely game :P - I am just bad at numbers lol

[@jonathanzj620]

Many worlds tavern coffee (as a coffee nerd and elitist) and company (as a nerd and DND elitest) is amazing! Glad you were able to get their support......though I feel like that solidifies your need to start actually covering RPGs since that's their main jam.

[@mendicant1981]

I really hope KDM is at the UK Games expo this year!

[@kaputtnik3901]

I have just started with Chronicles of Drunagor. Did that not meet your taste at all?

[@Quackalope]

Still need to give it some more plays

[@jonathanzj620]

Ive said it before and I'll say it again....I highly prefer these videos where you take your time, script some, and especially dedicate time to cool transitions and editing vs more content for content sake

[@awpacuda]

Lol loved the transitions!

[@saveversus]

I know it's not out yet, but I'm sad Primal didn't get a mention. Snuggle Tokens!

[@Quackalope]

Haha, I don't have it :P

[@JendersGaming]

Sleeping gods is definitely the best!

[@SaschaKleiber]

Spires End sounds intriguing, looks like it’s unavailable in Germany though…

[@trollercoaster3060]

You are talking about campaigns and character progression and no mention to Gloomhaven? Hmm...

[@guenteroelfke3005]

Vampire: Chapters?

[@jesseirwin2607]

anyone else skip through to see all the transitions?????

[@Quackalope]

Glad you enjoyed them :)

[@marvinyeung3554]

Was Middara a competitive choice here? We love it so far

[@Quackalope]

Yes, I am just not deep enough into it due to time!

[@jRoy7]

ISS Vanguard too new to make the list. Sad face. ;)

[@Quackalope]

Yep, just not quite deep into it yet!

[@cartmanbeck]

I really can't believe that Gloomhaven is not on the list!!!

[@Quackalope]

[@SeanUCF]

Gloomhaven sux

[@BillyTheRealDeal]

I was literally going to mention this too.

[@cartmanbeck]

@@BillyTheRealDeal fair enough, I definitely disagree with you though. I find coming up with combinations of cards and hitting that x2 modifier card at the key moment so thrilling and satisfying. Can't wait for Frosthaven.

[@BillyTheRealDeal]

@@cartmanbeck I like Gloomhaven. I think you may have me confused with another in the thread. My love and lack of completion of Gloomhaven is #1 reason I am not getting Oathsworn. I still have so much to complete in Gloomhaven and dreading Froshaven hitting the doorstep soon. LOL

[@benmangold887]

I’m surprised Townsfolk Tussle wasn’t on the list. But yes, KDM all the way.

[@Quackalope]

Not a campaign :) just a boss battler

[@magnus0017]

Honestly? Thought you were going to pull a KDM is my number 0, so I had no idea what your number one was. I have to really start getting some games in with mine, and get my brother to put his KDM together already. Coffee ad was good, shout-out at the end for them was better. Definitely taking a look, and glad they were willing to support you. Also need more coffee.

[@Quackalope]

Please do - they make a great product :) and KDM has to be #1 on this list - what could take it's spot?

[@magnus0017]

@@Quackalope I've heard rumors of something . . . by which I mean Sankokushin. Though I also used to live in Japan so anything set there with good quality has a a head start for me. ^_^

Hey Jesse, how did Vampire the Masquerade: Chapters not make your list? And I also agree with another comment calling out the absence of Middara. :)

Awesome transitions, great list, would definitely buy the coffee if I was living in the US! And I love the way you talk about the sponsorship, very open and straightforward! Keep it up!

[@Malgamus]

I’m not sure if have gotten or played it yet but Lands of Galzyr is really great. There isn’t leveling but your character does change over time. I know you are a story buff and it has that in spades. Can’t wait to dive into our next game.

[@Badge713]

Wonder where ISS Vanguard would have ended up on a longer list. Has it fallen out of favor or did it miss the cut for other reasons?

[@tonybowers9490]

Oh yeah. Oathsworn does have some awesome sculpts. Just finished chapter 14 and amazed with the sculpt in box 14. Also impressed with how varied each boss battle is.

[@Quackalope]

Every boss is like a whole new mind blowing thing!

[@tonybowers9490]

@@Quackalope Yes, yes. And, I must admit. Boss 13 knocked my whole Oathsworn troop out. Thankfully, my companions came in on relief and took the boss out. That battle was down right nasty!

[@JM32JM32]

Marvel champions doesn't offer nearly the level of narrative that Arkham horror lcg does, which is a real shame

[@CheddahSlammer]

Just finished Oathsworne and while its still great, the more my group played, the more it feel down for us. The two main issues were their really wasn't any reward for you level ups, and several times cards you got were not as good as those you had. The other was the Narrative gave choices that didn't matter, and always just resulted in you getting on type of token or another for your characters.

Definitely will be a challenger for next years list

[@JohnnyMcNabb63]

Curious on where ISS Vanguard will fall on your list. Im loving the game and the story.

[@PaulMB40]

Oh no! It finally happened! I actually disagreed with you. Of course it's your choice not having Gloomhaven on your list as it's all opinion, but I would dearly love to know your reasons why. I mean, while the story is nowhere as strong as the likes of TG, it's certainly stronger and has superior and vastly more popular mechanics than Scythe. I mean, it's been number for nigh on 5 years for (many) a reason.

[@XileboW]

Damn I really liked the coffee, but shipping to EUROPE is trippling the price. Maybe say US only in your advertisement, it's a bummer when you get excited for thematic coffee and the see the shipping cost just before payment...

[@BigPapiMNDZ]

I bought KDM last December and think it highly overrated. I’m not bashing it , i really really wanted to love it like most seem to but it’s just not as fun as I thought it was going to be. I enjoy games being difficult but not to this level. I’m not into starting a new character after every few fights cause they died or got a serious wound that hinders them so much. It takes so long to level characters that starting a new one so often is exhausting to me. The system though is the best Iv played. Very unique .

[@jksalamon]

is it possible to make xia legends of a drift system into a narrative driven story campaign game with user generated content. Has anyone tried that.

[@raist78231]

I bought Spire's End today with the expansion and backed We're Sinking cause of your awesomeness! Your videos are costing me money 😃🤣. Keep Quakin! Appreciate all you do for the community and your great content!

Is Sleeping Gods good for solo? I heard it’s a lot of work cause you still have to play all characters…

[@sethwinslow]

You got it all wrong, man. I requested your top ten KS campaigns, not campaign games!!!!! (Seriously, great list.). Are these rankin in order? I mean KDM as #1? Really? I never would have guessed that you love THAT game. I mean, you never talk about it at all. :-)

Haha numbers aren’t my strong point

[@Bladedheart]

@@Quackalope It's fine. You said it was late lmao. Just funny. Anyway; have you tried Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps? People claim it's messy as hell in its rules but it was my one of the first three or so board games, and the one that made me look at board games as an adult... and I had no trouble understanding it. I love it. Ultimate Badasses expansion is pretty necessary though. Get Away From Her You B**** is good but doesn't add "classes" like UB so it isn't AS necessary, just adds cool crap. Like the queen. And what is your opinion on LotR: Journeys in Middle Earth? Devon and Alex apparently hate it enough to want it to be removed from the top 100 on BGG lol.

[@Lost_vault_boy]

I really enjoy Welcome to the Moon and Sleeping Gods. I haven't played anything else yet. I am all in gameplay for Tainted Grail and look forward to that, but I'll have to skip Oathsworn again because I have backed to much already. The end of the year is hard because you spend all your money the first 6 months haha.

[@Lost_vault_boy]

P.S. love the coffee sponsorship and the way you incorporated it! I wish all ads were that interesting.

[@Quackalope]

I totally get that. I have stopped backing basically everything while trying to save money for future goals!

[@Lost_vault_boy]

@@Quackalope yeah, I have only been building my collection for the last 2 years and I have spent more than I probably should have to get variety. I have been pretty moderate on what I have backed, but I am going to have to hold off now as I'll have a lot to go through once everything arrives. The next couple of years are going to have a shift to more retail purchases as there are a lot of older and smaller games I want, but haven't bought. The one exception is likely going to be CTG's Elder Scrolls game!
