Great video, kids and thanks. I’d suggest Eldritch Horror, particularly if you like GH and Horrified. Shawn, please be sure to put up some gameplay footage on “Last Week of Summer” from UKGE. I promise I’ll start a Discord so I can play-test soon. My most anticipated game of 2024! 🤘

Great job on the list. I loved seeing what the two of you enjoyed. Lots of fantastic choices. Your #1 game in particular had me intrigued in that you enjoyed how it was not a stressful experience. Another recent game that has a cozy cooperative experience you might like is Mythwind. I'm not sure if you have tried it but may be worth looking into.

Thank you for sharing. The Aliens version of Legendary has been on our must play list for a while as we are both big fans of the movies. We also love Star Trek, but haven't really looked into Frontiers. Maybe we should.
@jonathangillies653119 күн бұрын
@ I think you would enjoy both. Frontiers is pretty much a streamlined but direct re-skin of the epic mage knight, highly thematic plus it has both Kirk and Picard. Aliens Legendary is my favorite incarnation of the legendary system, the facedown advancing threats recreates the feeling of the motion trackers going off not knowing if it’s a cat or xenomorph. Plus the added theme of having a character avatar is awesome and immerses you into the game more as you can be eliminated or worse, impregnated with a chestburster and become an alien player.

Thank you for the fun list :D It is right up my/our alley :D Only have not yet played Unmatched since we are usually 3+ players. I really love Dorfromantik for relaxing evenings. So pretty and so cool they included the mini campaign and unlocks :D Hope you have many more enjoyable sessions :D If you ever have a bigger play group you might want to try Mysterium/M.Park, Cthulhu Death May Die or Codenames Duett :D All of which really play well at 5 or more and do not overstay their welcome ^^. For cute but crunchy fun I can recommend KeepThe Heroes Out and for explorative puzzle scenarios Unsettled :D Both take a bit of time though. Admittedly since two weeks we have been hooked by Slay the Spire - co-op deck building game fashioned after the solo computer game. This turned out so well I currently think it is among the games with the most/best cooperation while being totally assymmetric. ^^ It scales perfectly for 1-4 players.

@@AlliesorEnemiesit sits just outside my top 10. It was my go-to 1h solo game last year before I discovered Marvel Champions. It shines at 1-2 players. 3p the downtime starts to be irritating sometimes and 4p would probably be just unplayable. The game length does not scale with number of players (like Marvel Champions) so every player just gets twice as many turns at 2p than at 4p.

Although I haven't played any games as bought them to take with me overseas as I'm moving from Australia to Europe to be with my wife and 8yo granddaughter, some games that have not been mentioned yet from reviews I've watched and am sure they are in your list of 35 are: Creature Comforts Sleeping Gods 7th Continent Everdale Meadow(?) I have 95 or so games so going off the top of my head and since I've packed them up, can't get access to them........
