Under my 7

I think there's two games in Braiden's list that I LOVE for this ... but the overall vibe of Dylann's list feels nice. So I am struggling to choose, they both have positive attributes! My personal 5 would be: Sushi Go Party ($30 CAD); Cascadia ($45 CAD); Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition ($50 CAD); That's Pretty Clever ($25 CAD); and Tokaido ($40 CAD) ... for a total of $190 Canadian. (Btw, making that list was actually incredibly hard!!! Kudos to you both for yours.)

Initially I was a bit wary of the complexity but then I managed to play two factions twice and it is a great game. Does go on for quite a bit but I did come away enjoying it. The value of the 8 different factions is immense for the price. Its just one of the games that I think you need to play the same factions for a few times for then to move onto the next but I fully understand your points which are all valid

Stained glass of sentra is my favorite version of azul. Have y'all tried it?

Are you serious guys? It seems that I'm seeing the list of party games for casual gamers. Not a real boardgames. That's humiliating for the hobby

2 yrs late, but thank you😊

I have a gaming night coming up and we've decided to play Renature. I've haven't played it before so this just get's me even more excited about jumping in. This is a really well thought out, thorough, and easy to understand tutorial. Thanks so much!

Great job, thanks a lot for the video!

Yes!!! Always good to see the love Dylan gives Radlands. Still an amazing game. The expansion is going to be EPIC!

cute dude.... learning both the crew now. make rules explanation videos tooooo

"You and I got eliminated from the bigger game that the others are currently finalizing. We intend to join them again when the next big game starts. In the meantime we play a FILLER game."

If you get a deck with a synergies mars house, you struck gold

Tried to play this game 2 times.. 1st mission round 1 win *shuffle shuffle shuffle* OK, mission 2 round 1 win *shuffle shuffle shuffle* OK?, mission 3 round 1 or 2 win. Everyone: this game is boring, let's play something else.

You really should keep the title on screeb when your talking about a game.

Two year after this review and they already released the 2 other games (last games?) of these series. Also, the “Bonus Box” with special “epic” cases that go through the whole city (all 4 maps). So… it is an epic endeavor indeed to try to get all of it… 5 boxes… and the need for a huge space in your house in order to at least see the whole city together or a huge wall to hang the 4 maps and dive in the “epic” cases…

Dude. I’m a lesbian & I’m engaged but I must say…you’re incredibly handsome!

Ive only ever played this on BGA. Once you pass, you have passed. You cant do free actions once you've passed and sit out until the next moon staff round. Also, item cards are not placed in the player area. They are added to your face down pile. Other than that a very good tutorial.

If you’re playing War Machine with a friend who’s playing Iron Man as their hero, can you still play Iron Man as your signature ally?

Ares is more advanced than Race, and at the same time you don't need the boring spatial puzzle from the Original. Cards also looks so much better than the other two. The best one for me!

The scoring of this game was very confusing for me and my gf idk if it was bad translation (im brazilian) or what but this video helped a lot, like now i have literally 0 questions of how the points works

Great choices. I highly recommend Just One, everyone can understand it and it is a lot of fun to see how other people's minds work [or don't work, in some cases]

I was certain The Mind and Air Land and Sea would end up here! Also, Linko (or Abluxxen) is an obscure but excellent game. It is one of the least luck-dependent card games I have played. Seeing a lot of deckbuilders here but Valley of the Kings is one of the best. Tiny box game that is slightly more complex than the deckbuilders you mentioned.

Ares Expedition is a funnier and slightly more advanced version of RftG. I like it much more, as it is bars to climb as a goal.

Great stuff, very helpful. Would have loved to see all the new stuff with your explanations but then I'm a total geek and enjoy that sort of stuff 😅

Thank you for making this video! This was very helpful in understanding how to play the game.

Do you keep the winning tricks face down so it's harder for a player to count how much of a suit or a number has been played?

I’m learning this on board game arena. This is a life saver. Thank you.

This is super helpful! I just learned about horizons and I’m way more interested in the factions in that game. But I wonder if it’s fixed some of these grapes you’ve had with the original two. Thank you so much for the in-depth look seems so much of my alley, but I think I need to hear more about the third version

Libertalia is awesome

Pretty fun to play on Boardgamearena.

7 Wonders Duel is great but I would never turn down a chance to play Splendor Duel. I'm also a fan of Riftforce and Babel. Kamisado, Boop, Patchwork (Halloween), Jaipur .... and on and on.

Does it keep any solo stats, wins, losses?

huh, I've just realized there's 1 perennial action on mulch in my notepad 11:11 , the fruit bowl numbers are different too

They need to make a "Sin City" version for the adults where you are Satan finding out their sins. LOL

I'd go with 1. Ra 2. Monikers 3. Dune Imperium Uprising 4. Mysterium Park 5. Fit to Print All of the above have just been huge hits with so many different people for me

My list skews light. Games you get to play are better than games in a box that you never get played. So I focused on games that I had success introducing others to play with me. 1. Scout - My family all really liked this one. The not being able to rearrange your hand is an interesting novel mechanism. You get to plan a couple of moves ahead without it being overwhelming 2. Las Vegas Royale - Solid core game with some bonus modules to spice it up later. You're always engaged with other players turns too. 3. Just One - A super light party game that all the family can join in and feel good about playing 4. Quacks of Quedlingburg - Push your luck + the catch-up mechanism are great for giving newer players a chance of winning. 5. Lost Cities - My Knizia counter. A 2p game is needed, and this is one I'm always keen to play. It's one where you can play with the same person a lot and your strategies grow together.

'for when you OPENLY want revenge' : play SURVIVE 😂

Thanks guys for your great videos and opinions. Just recent follower of your channel from Spain . Yours are new points of view, some games not published here yet, but new inputs are welcome or future ideas!!!

I am going to a wedding and want to gift a board game. Q: Which one do I choose?

I wish people didn't omit solo modes in tutorials, but very good vid nonetheless!

The winner is the side that picked Babylonia. While Yellow and Yangtze is my favourite, Babylona is a top contender for the mentioned reason. One huge reason I like it is because, unlike Y&Y or Tigris & Euphrates, your pieces don't get removed from the board. You can see the Knizian ballet your pieces go through throughout the game, and see where you went wrong. It's a mix of Through the Desert and Samurai, yet is more exciting than both. My list would be wildly different than either of yours aside from that, but Babylonia is a game that, like chess, will grow with you. El Grande is my pick for best game of all time; it's perfect, grows with you, and plays great at all player counts. Finally, to those looking to start a collection, don't hesitate to buy used! If you live in a metro area there's often meetups, flea markets, virtual flea markets, math trade leftovers, and the marketplaces FB / CL / Kijiji offer. I've acquired Amun-Re for ten bucks, the base El Grande for 15 (you don't need the big box!), and so on. You can build a fantastic collection for a hundred bucks if you're patient.

When next tho

Excellent editing on this video!

Thanks!

did you think this game need a constant bgg/discord to help play corretly like marvel champions? Ty!

1. Knarr 2. Vale of eternity 3. Century golem 4. Quest for el dorado 5. Quacks of quedlinberg

I’d go with Dylann’s list on this one. But I think my list would be: Dixit Cascadia 7 Wonders: Architects Wingspan Can’t Stop

I have to go with Dylann's here just seems more gateway friendly and Next Station London is an incredible game. I would highly recommend trying it solo :) welcome back guys.

Having him proposing babylonia even though he played it very little might not be the best idea

I vote for Dylann. Libertalia, Next Station & El Dorado are excellent picks
