What were your favorite games that you played this year?

[@Cornchps827]

Underwater cities, gloomhaven jaws of the lion and five tribes

[@Piratesteve81]

We played many games of Mandala and Cartographers. Mandala is a great 2p game.

[@Kcrash5]

Tekhenu, On Mars, Trismegistus, Maracaibo and Rococo made my list too!

[@charliep1]

Tekhenu, On Mars, Maracaibo, Rococo, Underwater Cities, Dune: Imperum, Merv, Calico, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Beyond the Sun...and I am sure a ton more. This was a good year for games for sure. Happy Holidays you two and keep up the great work! Love the channel!

[@johncarson2514]

We just got into the hobby at the end of 2019 when my wife bought me Wingspan because it came recommended by the owner of our FLGS. Once we played that we've become addicted. Probably bought 40 new games this year. Feast for Odin, Calico, Space Base, Maracaibo, Fields of Arle, Castles of Burgundy have all seen a lot of love.

[@leeko8581]

Always enjoy your videos :) Small suggestion, if I can - it would be great to keep the name of the game in the bottom corner as you're talking about it. Maybe I'm on my own on that one

[@rahdo]

hey m&n, you forgot to add the 0:00 Introduction to the description so that the youtube chapters feature is enabled! :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank Rahdo! Appreciate that!!

[@rahdo]

@@BeforeYouPlay almost there... you need something on the same line at the 0:00 to enable the chapters :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@rahdo LOL we couldn't get it right! thank you!

[@exponvaldese]

Here you are again, always doing good things!

[@allankamen9875]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've binge watched so many of your videos (my first view of you was for Fort) and I love your style, banter and feel that you have for these games. This is a very good board-game discussion channel. It just works for me.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi Allan, that's really nice of you to say! So glad you found our channel, we've got more gaming videos coming out soon!

[@DoppelgangerF02]

LOVED this list ! You guys are just freakin' delightful.

[@luchoab9885]

Loved the list! And really really liked that it wasn't just solely 2020 games to differentiate from all the other lists out there. You guys killed it this year!! Just about everything has been new to me this year but really enjoyed Fort!

[@langvu811]

Love the individual takes on best games of the year! Been following the channel for quite some time now and as I’m introducing other friends of mine into the board game world, I turn to this channel for inspiration in finding new games. Your play throughs of cafe and fort granted such simplicity and clarity in showcasing it to others, while heavy euro games like on Mars gives so much pathway to success in the style of the creators. Having covered an abroad range of games and the constant up to date content, will most definitely look forward to future material and will draw back on previous content (new to viewers) for fantastic demonstrations and walkthroughs. Thank y’all so much and have a wonderful holiday season!! ❤️

[@aarondovauo7598]

Great way to frame a "Top 10," you two bring such a fresh, fun approach to the hobby. My wife and I really appreciate the way you present your content. Have a great year!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Wow, thank you! You as well!

[@shawnmincer8231]

As always, wonderful video. I like that you broadened it out to games you were introduced to in 2020. Some of mine are "The Gallerist" at #1, then in no particular order were "The Crew", "Calico", "Santa Monica", "Taverns of Tiefenthal", and "Gaia Project".

[@bigaleka92]

Lovely video. Will definitely be taking note of some of your recommendations. Merry Christmas.

[@cardboard_kid]

Great list! We own most, and many of the rest are on our list. It's rather incredible how much overlap there is in our tastes. Well, aside from Trismegistus, haha. Happy holidays from The Cardboard Family!

[@petergross7235]

Great list! Thank you both for all of the wonderful content you did this year. It has been a very positive experience in a year in which I needed all the positives I could get! Merry Christmas ⛄!

[@Cissewis]

Thanks Naveen and Monique for another wonderful video! Really appreciate the time and efforts you guys put in to making these. This channel has definitely been the best thing this year! Thanks again for all your lovely content and have a very mery Christmas :)!

[@sflower9314]

This is a great list - it's SO nice to see a list that includes games not from the year because it gives a nice barometer and some context to the 2020 games that do make it on.

[@manuelmejia9397]

Great list, really enjoyed it as all the content you have done this year! Have a Merry Christmas! May your goals and dreams come true!

[@isabelledt6109]

Thank you for this very interesting list ! Totally agree for Trismegistus. Have a Great Year 2021 !

[@brocksommers7491]

Monique’s sleeves are a Euro game nightmare!!! I’ve seen sweaters like that murder an entire board state! Great list guys! I’ve been watching your content for a while now but I just now subscribed. Keep up the chill vibes

[@Traquan]

Really like your channel and loved this video! You pointed me to a number of games that I hadn't heard about or which didn't really grab my attention. Beyond the Sun - You had me at tech tree! Sounds great, going to check this one out for sure. Animal Kingdoms - You had me at area control and working well at all player counts. Love area control but it often doesn't work great with 2, so eager to check it out. Curious Cargo - Never heard of it but seems like a good 2-player game that we'll enjoy. Space Base - Totally disregarded this one but you brought it back to my attention. Trismegistus - I enjoy crunchy Euros although we have enough Lacerdas to keep us busy for a while. Will read more about this one as well. Thanks for the great video and keep them coming! :)

[@LassePeterson]

Great list. Especially like that, it's not only new games. It helps a lot when you show us some visuals but I can see that it also increases production time.

[@johnhedberg9728]

Great list and another great video. Cant wait to play beyond the sun, I see it under the Christmas tree but wife won’t let me open until tomorrow. Happy Holidays and New Year. You guys have made this very tough year more enjoyable with your great videos.

[@jahniedez6834]

Many space-themed games on your lists! I've added some of your picks to my list of must-plays, thanks!

[@brentvolper2104]

Great video! I really enjoy your content. Keep up the amazing work!

[@tastelikemycat]

u seem like genuine people; so I subscribed. keep it up and keep it real, my friends

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for the sub!

[@jeffmackey2740]

Great list and video. Thanks so much for putting this out. My favourite three games this year have been 1. On Mars 2. Merv 3. Tekhenu I can only guess you guys haven't played Merv yet? as it seems to be in both your respective wheel houses. Happy holidays. Here's hoping you keep up the great content in 2021.

[@Viragomp]

Thanks for this video! I didn't get to play many new games this year; am just now starting to get and play some 2020 titles. But one big takeaway for me has been the amazing group of enjoyable content creators that I have discovered (am I right in thinking there have been so many great new ones this year?) and you two certainly rank very highly among them. Happy holidays and all the best in the new year!!

[@pauloyanez2640]

I really love your opinions and how you explain the games you played this year, and many of the games you include in this top are in mine. Merry christmas and happy new year for you. Love your videos!!!

[@laurenwoode1046]

Thank you so much for the episode! I did a 180 on Trismegistus too. Your video and Heavy Cardboard’s made me like it and pick it up 😊 Monique has a knack for teaching games. She’s dangerous! I’m not so sure about Beyond the Sun yet. Another game with a cool tech tree, but much more to it, is Stellar Horizons. Thanks again, Merry Christmas to you both 🎄

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

Great list, thanks. Many of my favorite games this year have been Renegade games and solo games. Warpts Edge, Atheneum, Search for Planet X, and Sprawlopolis (solo button shy game -wonderful puzzle).

[@jrpprodrigues]

Thanks a lot guys, I'm from Portugal, and I really enjoy your videos. I hope you make a top roll & write games soon. I really like does games, and they are growing popularity in the board game community, so please think about it. Great job.

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Purchased both Calico and Horrified after watching your playthroughs. Thinking about picking up Blackout: Hong Kong too, though having second thoughts after not seeing it in your top 20. In any case, great video. I really enjoyed it. Happy Holidays to the both of you!

[@yannisguerra]

Agree with you about On Mars. And Maracaibo, I'm actually playing the campaign right now! (I was watching your video while setting up between two games, jeje). Happy Holidays!

[@kirklynch]

Trismegistus is my favorite of the year. But also am digging On Mars and Abomination. I was super surprised about how much I am loving Disney Villainous, that one totally snuck up on me. Am super anxious to try Tekhenu and Tawatansuys. And now you have me giving Search for Planet X another look. I also tend to shy away from space themed games. Thanks for your channel, I always know I will get a thorough rules overview accompanied with a well-played play through and thoughtful review. Happy Holidays!!!

[@mariusferreira1297]

You guys are Awesome, I love your channel, thank you so much 👍 And happy new year🍾

[@ThinkerThemer]

Ok ok ok, you may have convinced us of Beyond the Sun.... 😅❤ Great list thank you both, and well done on the daily marathon!!! X

[@JonathonV]

I liked Beyond the Sun! I want to play it again.

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing. Great lists! A few of my favs of 2020 (not in any order) - Rurik - Marvel Splendor - Underwater Cities - Dune: Imperium - Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion...

[@chriscrothers7649]

Ahhh. You put curious cargo on my radar. Still waiting on my pre-order as it’s lumped in with the Ginkopolis re-print. Can’t wait to try it out. Really wanted it to play at Christmas.

[@Gauravonomics]

Good to see you do a top ten video from you. You two are great as always. I would love to know what Naveen’s top ten released in 2020 games are. And, I’m hoping for a top fifty games of all time list. :)

[@pclubwon]

First, Happy Holidays! Second, after you said Lacerda, I knew “Lisboa” was the next thing you were going to say....almost fell out of my chair! Our list for games we discovered in 2020: 1. Maricaibo. 2. Spirit Island Jagged Earth. 3. Pandemic Legacy Season 2. 4. Gaia Project and #5. A Feast For Odin. Good luck in ‘21.

[@Iamwrongbut]

Jagged earth changed my life this year. Just 2 gud

[@michaelstoddard1606]

Animal Kingdom is one of our favorite family games. The beautiful artwork makes our girls, (8 & 7) want to play and the cute "ani-meeples" that came with the deluxe edition helps make it fun. We also really enjoy Fort and can't get it to the table enough. Thanks for sharing and have a great holiday!

[@kovray]

So many comments. Monique with you on Pendulum, we actually really enjoyed it and it just may be part of our list, which we will release next week. Ah Naveen! Space Base is so good! We really want to try out Curious Cargo it looks great. We also need On Mars! Ah such an exciting list. Thank you so much for all that you folks do, we're so thankful for you.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Awww that's awesome! We have so many crossovers. Thank you as well, happy holidays you three!

[@PhilHenDrums]

It makes so much sense to rank the best games you played, rather than artificially limit it to games published this year. Good list. Your tastes are more diverse than mine, but the point of watching lists is to consider different things, right? Keep up the good work!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for all the compliments! :)

[@Hippydippy935]

Great video, love the "new to me" vs "2020". New to me games I enjoyed alot are The Colonists, Alma Mater, On Mars, Agra, The Cost, Marco Polo 2, War of the Ring (My partner and I are LoTR nerds), Three Kingdoms Redux, Clinic, Smartphone InC, The Magnificent, ZhanGuo, Rococo, Prehistory and Tekhenu. I cheated as I couldn't pick 10 so picked 15 😀. Also LOVE Trismegistus but I had played several times last year. Need to try Bonfire, Fort, Praga and Beyond the Sun. Thanks for a great year of videos, loved your Lacerda series. Enjoying your Pfister series, even if we disagree about BO HK 🤣🤣. Have a good holiday season and New Years!

[@BillyIndiana]

I've only played 2 from this list (The Crew & Horrified)! Several are on my wishlist🔥 I'm still trying to play a few more 2020 games this week & hopefully put out my top 2020 games video the 1st week in January before we start school again. Some of the contenders though are Viscounts of the West Kingdom, Chronicles of Crime: 1400 & Pan Am👍

[@twozsinapod]

So glad to see Animal Kingdoms getting some attention! It's one of my favorite and most-played games of the year. I love how accessible it is for almost anyone yet has enough variability to be pretty replayable.

[@FranzBazar]

Another great video! Love your channel. So helpful for board gamers. Quick Q: what is the controversy about Mombasa? Heard you mention that on the Pfister series too..

[@aweso]

Great video. I definitely have the same #1 of the year as both of you. Mombasa and Trismegistus are also both favorites of mine, though I played them before this year so they wouldn't go on my list. But all three of On Mars, Trismegistus, and Mombasa are top 25 games for me. My number two of the year is Bonfire. Feld is very hit or miss for me but this one is one of his best. Tekhenu and Tawantinsuyu are fighting out for third place for 2020 game I think. After that is tough, I've probably barely played 10 games from 2020 so far. If I also count non-2020 games I played for the first time this year then Babylonia from Knizia would also be quite high, probably take third before either of the T games. I was really impressed with it.

[@redeyedghost1406]

Tawantinsuyu is really good. I've been thinking about it nearly every day since playing it a month ago... really need to play it again.

[@georgianasstudio]

My partner and I bought Cargo just after Christmas. We've been trying to find games that play really well and are complex for 2 players as we find it hard where we live to find other game players. We really love this game. I think me more than Andrew but we played it a few times in the last couple of days. We are really keen to find more interesting 2 player games.

[@BoardGameGran]

I like Coffee Roaster, so I am quite interested in Cafe. Calico is definitely one of my games of the year, it's so beautiful mixed with brain burny. We've had a lot of fun with it, along with The Crew. Happy New Year guys.

[@wsiegel9539]

Rococo deluxe is fantastic with the added jewelry box expansion. Maracaibo one of my favorite games, great solo also. Space Base was a great fun game added the Shy Pluto campaign to it and loved it. Just played Whistle Mountain, Lost Ruins of Arnak, and Obsession with Upstairs, Downstairs expansion, Loved all three. And I can't forget Viscounts of the West Kingdom.

[@pincao]

Great choice for #1. Happy Holidays ! Favorite game played in 2020.... Weather Machine

[@jelledaems808]

Great picks!

[@jamescartwright1150]

Nice list, just recently subscribed to your channel.

[@Storm12612]

I really love this list. Cool to see games that are not just from 2020

[@myguyry]

Viscounts of the West Kingdom is my Game of the Year, followed by On Mars, and The Crew.

[@JeannotOBL]

Show the games as you talk about them to get the real feal. Great vid tough!

[@redeyedghost1406]

Very fun lists. I've been waffling lately about picking up Trismegistus (I've really been hoping for a second printing/edition that fixes the readability issues and the rulebook, but it doesn't look like that will be happening); this video just pushed me over the line into ordering it. My favorites of the year have been On Mars, Tekhenu, Tawantinsuyu, and Beyond the Sun. My list of unplayed games that I'm really excited about is just ridiculous at this point though, although I'm very positive that those four will remain at or near the top of my list.

[@georgelopez337]

I also played Rococo at a convention with 5 players. Awesome experience!

[@MechaJoezilla]

Great list!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks!

[@MohamadSobh]

Great list guys! The 2020 releases that would make my top 10 (yes they’re >10, but I can’t make up my mind lol): Viscounts of the West Kingdom, Mini Express, Planet Unknown, Tekhenu, 18Chesapeake, High Rise, Iwari, Curious Cargo, On Mars, Rome and Roll, and Merv. Favorite release of 2020 is The Search for Planet X. Favourite new to me non-2020 releases: Roll for the Galaxy, Stockpile, Paris Connection, Chicago Express, Bora Bora, Macao, A Feast for Odin, Just One, Glory to Rome, Bus, Mandala, Troyes, Crimson Company, The Crew, and Railroad Revolution. 2020 releases I still want to try: Beyond the Sun, Troyes Dice, Fort, Cafe (got it based on your video!), Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Renature, A Field of Cloth and Gold, Dual Gauge, Versailles 1919. Non-2020 releases I’ve bought and want to try: Riverboat, Aquasphere, Fleet, Xenon Profiteers, Aeon’s End: The New Age, Clank In Space, A Study in Emerald, Fields of Arle, Orleans, Vinhos, Indonesia, Shipyard, Streaming. So many games, so little time!

[@majbritpedersen6533]

Great video🤩 My favorit game this year is Calico! I just love cats in games! I like Calico bcs it’s thinky and fun. The solo variant is also really great 🤗 I got Cloud City and Jurassic Pars this Christmas, and already love both😊

[@JEV03]

Since 2020 is my first year venturing beyond Carcassonne and Scrabble, choosing my favorite games for this year is basically just choosing my favorite games! My number one is Scythe, I've played it dozens of times, mostly solo but I really look forward to having opportunities to play it multiplayer in the future. Number two is Tapestry, which was unexpected for me but I enjoyed the solo mode enough to give it a go and my wife loves it. Number three is Wingspan, since my wife and I love birds and it was one of our most important steps into the hobby. I'd give an honorable mention to Journeys in Middle-earth which I got for Christmas and played basically non-stop last week. Looking forward to year two and hoping this will be the year I'll actually get to find and play with board gaming friends instead of only family.

[@shinjial]

On Mars is probably my favorite of the year as well. There are many things to like about it, but the concept I like the most is that the game "timer-progress" is shared, and is the result of player choices and interactions. Many actions can block a path to someone else, but also create opportunities. For instance, if I lay a energy building and score it, my opponents can't do the same for a while (until the colony levels up), but they can potentialy build one of their building if they acquired a design for it, and then use a scientist. What I also liked a lot is that the technologies are shared, so even if I don't own it, I get to use the benefits of its current level, and who owns it gets to level it up or get a wind resource - positive player interaction is great. The choice of when to take the trip is also great. Ah, so much to this game! I love it. Hey, I did like Pendulum as well. My brother got it a couple of weeks ago and we played it maybe last week, and for me it was quite fun. I think if people just get that it's a basic worker placement euro at its core it makes the rest simple. Since I got to see it played I knew what I was getting into, so I just got to enjoy it. My brother was a bit lost for two rounds, but he was picking it up on the latter half of the game and actually got to enjoy it. And he said it's just such a different experience from our other games that he liked it for that alone at least. We're yet to give it a second shot with that first game out of the way. We also played Maracaibo this year, and we liked the simple-ish movement-action (reminiscent of GWT) and the scoring multiplier linked to the influence tracks with the 3 countries. It's a game we can just pick up and play because it's that straightforward. That led us to Mombasa (because of the influence mechanic), which we also found to be a great game. I have to say I think Mombasa is trickier to get around because the bulk of the points revolves around the stock value and presence on the board, for one, and the action selection with the cards as well. PS: Rococo Deluxe Edition is totally worth it.

[@bobnetherton4957]

Great list! Mine are, not in any particular order, Yukon Airways, Black Angel, Tekhenu, It’s a Wonderful World, Aquatica, The Magnificent, Margraves of Valeria, Paleo. I’m sure I’m missing a few.

[@JEV03]

Appreciated you listing Pendulum as an honorable mention. It's on my wish list for the solo mode and the only reason I didn't impulse buy when it got a deep discount was because I've just acquired three games in a month's time and because it's a game I know I won't be able to play my wife. I've played the timerless version on tabletopia a couple times and while I enjoyed it, I can tell it'll be more fun with the physical game. The fact that you still like it enough to give it an honorable mention reinforces my decision to put it on my wish list. I ended up liking Tapestry in spite of the controversy so this may be the same case for me if and when I eventually end up getting it.

[@Gecimen]

Amazing lists.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks!

[@petergross7235]

It amazes me that in less than one year On Mars is ranked 73rd (as of right now) overall on the BGG board game rankings. Definitely one I need to try next year.

[@antgerfitz]

I thought I'd see Pipeline in there. You seemed to really like that one. I got it the other day after watching your review, and great rules explanation. Looking forward to playing it :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

You're right, we really love Pipeline! We didn't include it on our list because it wasn't technically "new to us" this year. We discovered it last year. Thank you!

[@antgerfitz]

@@BeforeYouPlay Ah, I thought it came out this year. Cool :)

[@bryanscollick8305]

My favorite this year was Horrified. I really enjoy the game and the theme. I have played it mostly solo and it has great replay ability.

[@johncarson2514]

Maracaibo campaign is very good so far. Love that it doesn't change the game forever so there are no limits to playing just with your game group.

[@bergsteiger09]

Great list. Enjoy the run downs. Really wish you had more pictures of the games. Some had none at all. Otherwise, great job!

[@helvard]

Great list! And totally agree with On Mars, it is so great. But no Lost Ruins of Arnak??

[@georgefothergill4858]

Irish gauge I just recently played and loved!!

[@musiczombie3392]

Love your videos!! Would you say search for Planet X works well with 2??

[@roygaiot7968]

On Mars - hands down my favourite. I will have to get passed the spartan design of Beyond the Sun and really give it a try.

[@paulallison6418]

Enjoyed your list again, my partner and I don't have a regular playgroup at the moment - sometimes we play a little with family - so most of our games we own and we play just 2 player. Sop its great to see what we have missed in 2020. Calico sounds like a game we own - Patchwork, is it any different to that? Better?

[@zrinkomaloseja2615]

Seeing your top 3 choices I would happily suggest you try my 2020 favourite - BARRAGE. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it and even rethink this list ;) cheers

[@MelissaLiang]

I just discovered you guys and I love your videos! My boyfriend and I have been looking for 2-player games and your reviews are perfect. We're recently looking for more co-op games (my bf isn't very competitive!) what are your recommendations for 2-player co-op games? :) Keep up the great work!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Awesome! Thank you! Do you guys enjoy heavy strategy games or more lighthearted ones?

[@thejoulesthief6841]

I got my fiancé to play a bit medium game called Big Book of Madness. It’s a fun coop game with heavy Harry Potter inspirations. You play as students with different abilities and you cast spells to get rid of monsters!

[@alexandersapundzhiev9199]

Still cant understand why On Mars seems like so convoluted to some people. I find it a ton easier than Lisboa or Kanban tbh. Besides the building rules everything else is pretty straight forward. Worker placement, contracts, blueprints for building.... The shuttle mechanic is easily mitigatable and controllable. The so called circle of life for the building/resources pretty much set all in place. My 4th game with 3 players was 1 hour 15 mins long. Lovely.

[@TryNiceGames]

So many great looking games so little cash.. ;-p A few of these games were already on my radar and a few were added. Thanks for putting this together.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha sorry to put you in a bind!! lol

[@ginsbu]

For deduction lovers, I highly recommended The Shipwreck Arcana. It wants at lease 3p though. But it’s so good! What you choose to communicate is just as important as what you don’t, and you’ll be making inferences from both.

[@georgianasstudio]

I would love to see a review of any art and design based games.

[@yvesboydens251]

funny, I discovered Space Base too this year!. Love it too. Mombasa I only played once and loved it but didn't buy it because of the theme and because it's not easy to get to the table...I would like a new edition with a new theme. Did you play Ganymede? One of my favorites. Kind of engine building, optimizing, collection (I don't remember the right term) - game.

[@sador42]

Did you get the Anachrony big box? Please do a play through. Love you guys. Thanks!

[@wicked8576]

Love On Mars as well, my first and only Lacerda game I own and have ever played and it is soooo gooood!!! :D

[@wicked8576]

my favourite games in 2020: on mars, xia, tapestry, gloomhaven jaws of the lion, viscounts of the west kingdom and dwellings of eldervale (in no particular order)

[@Vascariz]

My favourites this year are Dwellings of Eldervale, and Etherfields

[@MrFrancisChio]

Didn’t get to play most of the games in both your lists! My most played games for 2020 is Wingspan, Tapestry and Root. Would like to know will you both play through Dwellings of Eldervale? I’m waiting for my copy to arrive and hope your side will able to make a video of it! Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎁🎁

[@NorthernCuts]

Great list! Regarding #1... is that with it being played at 2p or higher player counts?

[@Tr1n1tyNZ]

I love Curious Cargo but it frustrated the heck out of my husband! We both love On Mars - one of my favs.

[@johnwheeler6839]

Trismegistus was my favorite last year. Favorite new to me 2020 Alma Mater The Gallerist Terramara Maracaibo The Red Cathedral Isle of Cats Need to play Tekhenu, Tawantinsuyu (pretty sure I will be able to play them after tomorrow), Lost Ruins of Arnak (delivered yesterday), Aquatica.

[@aba824]

I'm really interested in Rococo Deluxe edition so I think it can come to my 2021 best games list ;) and still waiting for oy order ob Search for planet x :) cant wait to play that one too

[@dtf1977]

No Abstract games ? Maybe i missed it, but yall should have done a top 10 for that category, as well as Solo. On Mars looks cool, wish it had a solo variant. Your videos are just right - not too long, not too short. Good editing.

[@alexwan5087]

On mars does have solo AI controlled by cards

[@dwarrenmsp]

Seeing Beyond the Sun on the list at 3 and Arnak not on it at all is pretty telling for me. I picked up Arnak because it was available locally but my next game will be Beyond the Sun for sure. I've enjoyed my first play or Arnak but I feel like I need to have 3 players to really make it work.

[@Hunderworld]

would love if you guys are on twitch, playing these games live.

[@jamesmorgan1967]

I have to hurry up and finish my work so that I can watch this!

[@moo422]

Matthias Cramer Mini series for 2021? :) Watergate, Rococo, Glen More?

I have only played Pendulum solo, but enjoy the overall concept and will be brining it to my group. I think many will just never enjoy real time games or the pressures they bring. As much as I have enjoyed Disney Villainous, the Marvel one fell flat. I need to give this one another try and hopefully they will bring in better characters in future expansions, preferably from the many awesome villains never featured in the MCU.
