[@adamski_uk]

Magic! Cheers for the great production, banter and bringing a host of old and new titles for our consideration. Keep up the brilliant work 🙌🙌

What camera do you use. The video quality is amazing

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Sony ZVE1

[@michaels4610]

This countdown has been great to watch!!! Can't wait for the top 10! Love the posts!

[@BrunoBaronet]

Where is the snow effect coming from? Is it a KZbin Studio thing? I like how the flakes stick to your body, pretty effective.

[@dragonwiz87]

I look forward to this every year! Great episode!

[@jecabreradc]

Always looking forward to these. Thank you🎉. I was looking for expansions for Project Elite and people recommended that new Cyberpunk board game (the real time one). Hopefully they send you a copy for review.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Who is the publisher?

[@jecabreradc]

@ Publisher CD Projekt RED, Go On Board. “Cyberpunk 2077 : The board game”. I think the pledge manager is still open on gamefound.

[@jecabreradc]

Boardgameco and Boardgame Hangover have good coverage on a prototype.

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

This countdown is like 10 Christmas days. It's that good.

[@jecabreradc]

If he starts getting guest stars from other channels Ill make popcorn next year 😂

[@corbinhubbard5887]

I just bought Orleans and I'm excited to try it. Do you think the upgraded components are a good investment for the game?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I have them so yes. You also get components for a 5th player.

[@petergross7235]

Tons of great games here! Great list!

[@nERVEcenter117]

QE with Commodities is a total sleeper hit. Strategic, nail-biting, brilliant.

[@looktothefuture84]

Orleans has been out of print between print runs for a little while now, so it's affecting the used market too :(

[@iansutton7416]

QE makes for very good social observations. I love seeing the shock when players thought they'd gone big, and yet still lose the auction. Rajas - yep very enjoyable. Such an intimidatingly busy board, yet really not as complex as it looks. For Dune Uprising, it's a longer game, but the 3 vs 3 team game really brought the theme to life for me, in a way the base (uprising) game didn't. Well worth a go if someone offers you a game of it. FWIW if I'd bought Dune Imperium, I would have been annoyed by the Uprising version, especially as it seems more popular. p.s. if it was me who persuaded you to buy Thunder road vendetta, then I'm sorry for the expense, but really glad you liked it so much. It's a heck of a lot of money, but every expansion adds something new and fun, making it too easy to go all-in

[@EduFirenze]

I wish there was a channel like yours but for D&D. Bring back the bullying spirit in all of us.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes that would be interesting. D&D is now old farts or blue hair.

[@timjones990]

i really need to get Arcadia Quest to the table. fully painted both the base game and inferno, mainly coz i love the minis but only played the starter map.

[@BigDaddyCola]

Genuinely surprised its on the list. I know its a beloved game but my group thought it was a fiddly mess that ran way too long. We played through a whole campaign. Really want to love the game because everything is so awesome but gameplay just seemed too unpolished

[@jamielehn6926]

The missing professor for LROA is actually really good. After you play the campaign- it just adds a lot of variety. 😊

[@sporkaccione]

you having to say and talk about chibi made me lol

[@playground2137]

I’m really hoping for some unboxings in 2025.

[@Paul-ro6py]

I'm so so on Lost Ruins or Arnak, trying it again with some friends. Just cant make it click for me.

[@neilwalker4277]

Another great list, but to be honest I would have the 30-39 games flipped with the 21-30 :)

[@mattmefford2696]

Looks like we finally got to the good games 😊. Enjoying the list.

[@g.joelmoore3283]

Some great stuff!

[@thelinuxlich]

Arcadia Quest wasn't created by Eric Lang, it's by the brazilian designers Thiago Aranha and Guilherme Goulart.

[@torkelkvaale888]

And Eric M. Lang and Fred Perret! Check out BGG...

[@thelinuxlich]

@torkelkvaale888 it was released as "Masmorra de Dados" in Brazil first, then CMON signed a deal with the authors to create a "pimped" version and Eric Lang was more a consultant than a co-creator

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Masmorra is a separate game. I have it on my shelf and it sucks.

[@deepbuzz]

'prevalent before humans.. discovered caffeine yeh' - *snort*

[@tetsucat13]

I saw what you did with the Rajas. You naughty boy.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

🤷‍♂️

[@chosenoneunmatched4617]

Lost ruins!! Amazing! Best game: Spirit Island. Close second: Unmatched! Done

[@nikmans7959]

I'm sorry I didn't know I was only supposed to get a semi from next video onward :(

[@Davord]

Really hoping Project Elite comes back in the form of the Marvel Invasions project CMON announced but hasn't revealed much else about it...other than some skrull shennanigans...which could tie in with alien bashing..although I love the predator style commando team

[@hpjk772]

Yeah I got everything from the improved edition and I'm really happy. I love the theme and quite honestly, I will never buy another Marvel game. Marvel United is great but personally, I don't need more superhero games.

[@TAC3O]

Orleans is fockin great!

[@renenielsenring1037]

Just great videos with super spirit 👍😃 So sad about Y UK spirit is a bit apart rest of EU since Brexit, miss Y UK enourmous drive theese days ❤❤

[@matthewgreen3101]

Skull or skull and roses is just a game called Spoof which can be played with coins. Still cool tho. Great channel, very funny😂

[@nkesteren]

Maggots and feather dusters, colorful. :D Agree with Dune! Got everything incl. Uprising, and still they come up with a new version. :P

[@alessandroparma4006]

Uprising is an amazing game

[@browe]

Skull == "game within a game". Exactly. Anyone I've introduced to this game thinks it's rad once they've played a couple times. Also, DUNE is indeed fantastic.

[@Henni_more]

QE to me is the only auction game, it's great! (ok maybe RA)

[@theshogunstein6475]

Love Rajas of the Ganges

[@richardhancock1505]

DUNE IMPERIUM - is my number 1

[@chadvader974]

Cyclades will be in top 3

[@nobuthatsme9201]

I thought as you got closer to number 1 your list would get sort of more main stream…. FUCKING WRONG. Haha you are a strange cat. Great games, though, all of these. I like the newer caylus better.

[@Talesfromtheloop87]

SPOLIER ALERT: Talisman

There’s a translate note on this for a reason…

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Pardon moi?

[@leadhead69]

If you like Dwellings, Andromeda's Edge fixes a lot of the problems a lot of folks had with it (and I'd still give Dwellings an 9/10). It's pretty much entirely an improvement on Dwellings and is worth getting unless you just truly hate the space setting. I also recommend the deluxe edition because it cranks the production value up to 11, giving this game a stunning table presence. The raiders feel more impactful, combat is significantly improved, and the overall puzzle is better since you have variety in the dwellings you can build. Andromeda's Edge is my GotY for 2024 and one of my favorites of all time, so I highly recommend at least checking out the TTS mod to see the improvements it made on Dwellings.

[@TheAmazingYeti]

I still prefer DoE. The way the tiles come out in linear fashion absolutely sucks. Targeting is cool at first.. but I quickly found it took away combat being exciting for me. Now you pretty much always know who's going to win .The tracks are always the same every game.. I miss having different tracks game to game. Death in AE doesn't even feel like a big deal as there are ways to use those Meeples now as well. Even the Game Trayz were garbage. I will say the minis are absolutely awesome at least. Plus I guess return actions are easier.. but that also doesn't make them feel as rewarding. I just found AE to be DoE on Easy Mode. Played it three times and sold it.

[@looktothefuture84]

I also still prefer DoE. I really dislike ehe event track scoring - both the randomness and the manipulation of that. And I think the 'on rails' tile placement really robs it of some charm. Ultimately, I never played DoE and came away from it thinking 'I wish they made this game more complicated and changed those things'.

[@leadhead69]

​@@TheAmazingYetiSee I found that targeting fixed the biggest issue I had with DoE. Nothing is more frustrating than investing a ton of time and resources into gearing up for a big fight only to roll poorly and have your opponent win with way less resources. It felt overly punishing and too random. Now that chance still exists, but there is risk mitigation via targeting.
