2nd boss of Oathsworn is where you’re like “ok this has potential” We laughed a lot.

I'm surprised at how many games you haven't experienced. I think this is a great series and you will become so much more seasoned in your journey to review and have this wonderful channel.

@royverkuijlen 5 ай бұрын

Exactly my thought. Would be good to start branching out from heavy Euros. Games like Nemesis & Cthulhu DMD should be top of your list to try. It will give you an even broader perspective on boardgames

I just recently bought both Viticulture and Feast for Odin, your top two games!😊 So excited to play them! Great video as always!

I'm really looking forward to this yall. Good luck y'all.

A fun video, I look forward to seeing how it changes after you've played them all, I expect the top 20 or so will be relatively set.

What I gather from this is Mike dislikes area control games. :) Also love that two other(not INIS) of my personal favorites Grand Austria and Clans of Caledonia were in both of your top 10's!

@kenjisugawara1260 5 ай бұрын

Inis is the euro gamer's dudes-on-a-map game. Elegant and tension-filled. Can't wait to see where it ends up for you guys! Top 3 in my euro heavy top 10 list!

@pascalcallemien2498 4 ай бұрын

Great challenge and since the top 100 does not have a lot of fillers this will take up a lot of time, certainly if you have to go through a lot of rule books. I play a lot of games but there are only a few games I can just throw on the table and start playing.

I get this. The BGG top 100 is definitely not close to my top 100 either. There are a lot of dislikes and meh on there for me. But good luck on your quest. There are some truly good gems in there to keep you going.

Love to see how high Anachrony has gone up your lists! Anachrony and Mage Knight are constantly fighting for my #1 spot. I'd love to see a video on Mage Knight this year!!

@Dnicole32 5 ай бұрын

Bit of advice for Sleeping gods. It's an open world and you can really stop at anytime but there is no clear 1 scenario in my opinion. You get missions but it's such a vast open world that the stopping points aren't always clear cut like in other campaign games. Not my favorite of campaign games. I also am consistently eh about red raven games, but hope you enjoy it.

@JonoNZBoardGamer 5 ай бұрын

With Clans of Caledonia being my #1 and Agricola being my #2 fav games, and given your love of Clans of Caledonia too... I think you should give Agricola a good go. The first couple of plays can be a bit rough, but when you start to understand how the cards can combo together to open the game up a bit more by getting a food engine going to not have to worry about food as much then it becomes so much fun. It has the "next time I'll do better" factor where you can't quite get enough done, but you are close enough that it still feels achievable to have an awesome farm by the end of the game

I find it interesting that the most common critique of TI (and even other games that are shorter) is game length. Though if you think about many other hobbies there are many that are also all day activities but don’t hear that as being a critique. Curious why this is a common one in the board game world.

@TheBrothersMurph 5 ай бұрын

I don’t know if it’s so much a critique as a reason why folks don’t want to play it. Speaking only for ourselves, I’m not mad at the game for being long. It’s meant to be this huge epic experience and absolutely delivers on that front, just for our personal tastes I’d rather do a 12 hour game day and play like 4 or 5 games in that time :)

@DesmonJones 4 ай бұрын

As far as the un-played games go I think you will enjoy Pax Pamir more than you expect to. Y'all have very similar tastes to me (most similar of all BG content creators, probably) and Pax Pamir is a top 10 all timer for me. As it says in the rulebook, Pax Pamir is really a pretty straight forward tableau building game. It's complex but much more on the tactical side of the tactics/strategy spectrum. It sort of appears like the type of game that would be enjoyed by those who exclusively play Diplomacy, Go, and sprawling chit-filled wargames, but I think it has much broader appeal than just that. Def recommend.

I love how you both appreciate the pain of Grand Austria Hotel. Speaking of pain, I hurt a little when you both don't quite grok the brilliance of Twilight Struggle. I will admit that the paper game is a slog, but the digital version (I know the one on Steam) is a dream. The extent of theme and immersion of it has no competitors. Then again, one must be at least mildly interested in 20th century history. I suspect your esteem for Twilight Struggle will only increase over time. Anyway, fun list. I look forward to several of your playthroughs.

@TheBrothersMurph 4 ай бұрын

To be honest, we do appreciate and acknowledge the brilliance of Twilight Struggle, it's just not a game for us. There are lots of games like that, where we can honestly say "this game is a masterpiece, and I never, ever want to play it" That's Twilight Struggle for us

@eddieb8054 4 ай бұрын

Saw you guys had long plays of Twilight Imperium- Please only play base game, and only 3 or 4 people. The game almost doubled in length with 6 players. It adds 2-3 hours with expansion. Yes I've had lots 3 hour games. And one under 2 hours. But those were 3 player games where we knew everything and didn't have thirty arguments.

@TheBrothersMurph 4 ай бұрын

Well I played a 7 player game with the expansion so it was not the quick game you were talking about but had a great time regardless

@snowchamp 5 ай бұрын

I took time to workout the 100 games you guys picked and realised I've not played 30 of them, so pretty similar number unplayed. However, I must say, I would dread having to force myself to play 25 of the 30 unplayed games as I know I won't like those 25 already. Simply put, I've found myself to dislike cooperative games, dislike campaign games and also have no love for Cthulhu themes, so that essentially kills any interest games like Tainted Grail, Arkham Horror and Pandemic Legacies amongst many others. Amongst the few I've tried of those types I mentioned, truly hated Nemesis, Gloomhaven and Too Many Bones already. That said, I do have 5 games I've not tried that I'm keen to from that 30. Finally, I get why you feel different editions of the same game is essentially the same game. I also feel different Pandemic Legacies are really also the same game! Even without playing any of them before. Haha... but what do I know.

There's a new strategy guide for it that's helpful even for experienced players and only 8 minutes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppXEaGOaZa-GiZo

I obviously hope you like all the games you play, but if you dont, itll be nice to see these games have some lower ranks. Bgg as you know, skews, because the people that play or dont play these games typically know beforehand if theyre going to like them or not
