Dear Grant, Please stop staring into my soul in your video thumbnails. It is none of your business. Sincerely, etc.

Hahahaha

Thank you for mentioning Romi Rami, I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! As a first time published designer, this means a lot to me :) Love your content, your humour and enthusiasm by the way, those top tens are awesome!

[@GrantLyon]

Congrats on a great first game! That's awesome it's your first published one. Thanks for saying nice things about me too.

Snarkas is very similar to the classic Italian playing card game Scopa, which is an old and classic game that is played a lot by Italians. If you like Snarkas, check out Scopa, which I suggest playing with an Italian playing card deck. Romi Rami is great and is such a fun modern take on Rummy! It's more thinky than I thought it would be trying to get all the scoring objectives, hahaha. Stool Pigeon's looks super fun that sounds like a mix of Golf, Cabo, Silver, or Rat-A-Tat Cat. I'll definitely have to get this one! Thanks for covering so many great games! I am going to have to check quite a bit of these out!

[@GrantLyon]

Oh cool! I haven't tried Scopa before but now I want to

[@Abe_1861]

I love that I havent' heard of most of these games. Great share!

[@GrantLyon]

There were so many great card games this past year!

[@N8teMiller]

[@GrantLyon]

It's a lot of fun! Happy holidays!

Need to give Vaalbara a go on BGA. Also may pick up Gap sometime....I think my friends would like that one.

[@GrantLyon]

They are both great games!

[@olanmills64]

I haven't played any of these games and I haven't even heard of half of them. I really liked Pick-a-Pepper this year. It fits that category of being simple to understand with simple cards (it's just a deck of numbers, essentially), but it involves interesting choices and tactical play. The biggest downside is that it is perhaps a bit long for the kind of game that it is. I also enjoyed That's Not a Hat, which surprised me a lot. You may not consider it a card game like the other games in this list as it is more of a memory and bluffing game.

[@GrantLyon]

I really wanted to try Pick-a-Pepper! I've heard good things!

[@remonchik228]

it so strange that no sea salt paper game is on the list

[@GrantLyon]

Sadly I never got a chance to play it. You just can’t play everything

[@zwarsky1]

Stool Pigeon and FruitoPlay!! Two of my favorites we play all the time!! Love the video Grant!! Thanks for all that you do for this great community!! ❤

[@GrantLyon]

They are both such fun games!

[@BrandonGraham]

I have bought more card games this year than probably the last 5 years. And I don't even have most of the games on your list. What a crazy good year for card games!

[@GrantLyon]

Yeah I got way more card games this year than normal too. Which ones did you really like?

[@bn5055]

Vaalbara is such a nice game. Its juicy enough to be interesting without being too complex for newcomers.

[@GrantLyon]

I totally agree! I love it.

[@JimESC]

Great list! Also I spy Hero on that shelf behind you 👀

[@GrantLyon]

Thank you! Glad you like the list and saw Hero!

[@TyvanTV]
