Top Board Games of 2023

[@richardhancock1505]

Like you I loved getting my hands on the reprints of El Grande & RA! Both beautiful and both immediately a permanent edition to my collection.

[@bonescollector5367]

Hi Richard! I get excited thinking about those 2 games. It’s nice to see the older games getting some love. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@stuartshannon8561]

Enjoy how you tell the core mechanic of each game. Also how you talk about other adjacent games in a similar space; example forest shuffle and Earth. I always look for that in videos. Thanks for the video.

[@bonescollector5367]

I’m glad you appreciate those things and I’ll try to concentrate on doing that more. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@JulietMcArthur]

I really love your approach to discussing games. You have a wonderful energy that shines through your videos :)

[@bonescollector5367]

Hey Juliet! Thanks for those kind words. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Lori says I’ve been a joy to be around my whole life. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting.

Tiletum was my favourite new to me - game that I played in 2023, although officially it came out in 2022.

[@bonescollector5367]

We love Tiletum and it is now in our library! Still need to make all the extra markers for it though. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for the recommendation of Deliverance. I already had Ierusalem on my BGG wishlist, but I have now added that game as well. We are constantly on the lookout for good Bible-based board games as there are far too few. Great list! We already have several of them in our own collection. I just wish that my husband and I could go to conventions as often as you do :)

[@bonescollector5367]

Deliverance is pricey and you have to buy the top tier edition to get all the acrylic standees. But it is gorgeous and plays well. Totally agree it is hard to find good Bible based games. The only other one we have is Animals on Board! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@Original_Maverick]

Honestly, y'all do an amazing job covering all new titles! It can be difficult even playing some favorite classics. Really appreciate all you do!

[@bonescollector5367]

Thank you. That video took a lot of hard work to find and play all those games. And expensive! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@bastifantasti1414]

you two and your recommendations are awesome, thanks for sharing

[@bonescollector5367]

Thank you for the kind words!! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@ocie1]

Intriguing list and well presented.

[@bonescollector5367]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate your watching and commenting.

[@OCEAN2]

Thank you for the list!

[@bonescollector5367]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@morgaknightgames]

The White Castle and Darwin's Journey are two of my favorites from last year as well! I need to get Unmatched Adventures to the table soon. Thank you for the video!

[@bonescollector5367]

Hi! Glad to hear you are enjoying those games! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MrJmarzetti]

I totally agree with World Wonders! I got it just a month ago and have played it a bunch. Love how simple it was to get into yet offers lots of interesting decisions and very replayable. I definitely want the expansion, since I know this will definitely be a keeper for a long time in my collection. 😊

[@bonescollector5367]

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t normally buy expansions but may need to look at this one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@cabernetfran]

White Castle is so much fun! Looking forward to getting Marrakesh Essential Edition due to the smaller box…to me seems like Trajan meets Amerigo.

[@bonescollector5367]

We love White Castle and are jealous that you will have Marrrakesh in a smaller box. They insisted that couldn’t be done during the Kickstarter! We did actually sell Amerigo and Trajan! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@richardhancock1505]

Sooo glad to see World Wonders as your no.1 from 2023. I bought this last month and again, it’s an instant hit.

[@bonescollector5367]

Glad you are enjoying it. We love it! World Wonders has enough going on to be fun and restrictive enough to make it a challenge. And boy is it pretty on the table! Always great to hear from you.

[@keith2570]

I feel compelled to share two games I recently played that work great with 2p, and I apologize, they're not 2023; In the Hall of the Mountain King and Starship Captains. Enough from me. Now back your top 2023 games. I'm all ears. 👍

[@bonescollector5367]

Hey Keith! Those have both been on our radar but now we have a better reason to give them a shot! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@shadowfox2113]

Thank you so much for the shout out Larry! We said the same thing about not getting a photo after we left. Would love to potentially play a game with you and Lori

[@bonescollector5367]

You’re welcome! Hopefully we run into you guys again one day. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jillianm1986]

I want Ierusalem so bad! And now and looking at deliverance! Great list!

[@bonescollector5367]

They are both great games. If you want the acrylic standees in Deliverance please be sure to check what edition you are purchasing. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@vojkobaumanspoon]

Great list Great content

[@bonescollector5367]

Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@joannakrolikowska187]

Knarr is fantastic. I also highly recommend it.

[@bonescollector5367]

We loved it the first time we played it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
