- Someone said they would love to see me go through my game library in a video, so here I am, doing so. It's a big library, so it's a big video!
Don't worry, this is probably a one-time thing. Next video should be a regularly-scheduled Board Gem.
Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten! New videos on the 3rd, 13th and 23rd of every month. (Mnemonic: G-E-M has 3 letters.)

Absolutely loved watching that, your collection is obviously a great one, but I really enjoyed the info, trivia, care and knowledge conveyed in talking thru it, and the honesty too: plenty there yet to play! Thanks for the insight.
I found the video I'll watch before sleeping
Citrus is 10 years old. In today's board game culture, it's a old geezer. Let's see it! Actually...how about a designer spotlight series?
Citrus will come! And thanks for the suggestion; for now I'd like to keep the focus on the games. But I will reach out to Jeff Allers for the next game of his I'll do, and see if he's willing to do a Q&A.
I’m enjoying your channel, Darryl! Too bad I missed you at this year’s SHUX - next year! Best wishes
Big shot is such a great game! Love to see a video on it!
I know! It is my great shame that I haven't done a video on it yet. It was a generous gift from a viewer, but I haven't been able to get it played much.
You should do a video on Eggs of Ostrich, since I've been looking for a reprint and you have the magic touch. 😉
I'm sure I will! It's old enough, having first come out in 2012.
That was a great tour of your games, Darryl. There are a lot of memories there. I might regret it, but I’d be up for a game of Alcatraz: The Scapegoat if you want to bring it out.
I'm getting the vibe from your message that we know in each other IRL! I know at least one Power Grid fan. 🙂 Send me an email, or DM on Twitter or BGG and we'll try to make it happen!
Thanks for doing this video, it was entertaining. Really neat collection too. Based on a lot of the requested games you have, I would say you have a lot of Dads on a Map (podcast) fans :D
I've heard of that podcast but never listened to it. Would you say they talk about many of the same types of games I do? Any other podcasts or channels that focus on older games and not modern euros? I know of Hidden Gems (recommended!) but not much more.
@@BoardGems I wouldn't say they necessarily focus on older euros, but they aren't as big of fans of new games. They focus on games that have a higher degree of player interaction or shared incentive (which tends to also fall in line with old euro philosophy) but also 18xx, cube rails, COIN, and trick-taking. I noticed that a lot of the requested games you have are ones that they have brought to light on the podcast such as Bridges of Shangri-La and Portobello Market. I also listen to Hidden Gems and like them as well :)
El caballero is a good one, really a gem. Dry and brutal, not for everyone for sure
Nice to see Strozzi and Medici RGG versions together - I got that Medici for the same reason. Strozzi is a great game.
Yup! Debating whether to put them in a single box… Maybe even Medici vs Strozzi in there as well, if I can fit it. But haven’t decided yet. 🙂
Was it my request that made this happen? Either way, very excited, thanks for doing it! So many interesting games to research!
Yup, yours, and I also stumbled upon a Reddit post of my Thurn & Taxis video, and someone commented there they'd like to see it too.
@@BoardGems Too many different interesting games in the video to comment on all of them, but one that stood out to me was when you mentioned Witch's Brew vs Broom Service: I recently got interested in Broom Service, but then upon researching I learned it was based on Witch's Brew, and after much agonizing and heavily researching both, I did decide to hunt down a nice copy of Witch's Brew (which wasn't cheap!) very excited to play it soon.
There are definitely some games that I'll be looking into more after this video, starting with Poseidon.
I've been trying to get Fresh Fish for a reasonable price in the US for awhile now and I keep missing out on it. Speaking of Friese, have you played Faiyum? I enjoy it more each time I've played it.
Another game (not in your video) that I'm trying to track down (without success) is Kogge.
Lastly, a game I recently acquired that I'm excited to play soon is Kaivai.
Yeah, Fresh Fish is hard to find now... and I don't think it will be reprinted soon. I get the feeling the 2014 edition will be the last one for a long time...
Haven't played Faiyum, it's a little longer than I usually like, but I'm a fan of Friese's designs and I do want to try it. I'm looking forward to trying Free Ride! And I just picked up Feierabend.
Kogge's been requested, but agreed, it seems very hard to find!
You'd like Ethnos! Definitely not warrish - more El Grande meets Rummy(?)
Great collection. I really enjoyed checking it out. I was curious about Bali. Is that a reprint of the Rapa Nui game (card game) where you can sacrifice cards to the gods and is a set collection game? Or is it a sister game to the other Rapa Nui game that has a set up with islands where you sail around….?
Ever hear of a game called DR Congo? Ming Voyages? Kind of obscure gems that I thought might be up your alley. Cheers.
Got my answer surfing around. Looks nice
You know the answer by now, but yes, Bali = Rapa Nui. Hadn't heard of DR Congo or The Ming Voyages; couldn't find info on the former and the latter is a 2p game which might be hard to get played in my home. Thanks, and cheers!
Hey, Batuhan is here: 19:59
Big thanks for your shoutout, Made my day 🤗
I invite all viewers who enjoy the experience to support the channel by providing games (especially the ones that might be scarce in the Canadian market but are available elsewhere). If you attach local postcards 💌 they might be featured in future episodes as well📺😀
Thanks so much, Batuhan! And again, I'm sorry I haven't been able to get to your donations yet! Big City was played once 2p and it got the 👎 by my son - it was probably a mistake to try it first at that count, because I haven't been able to convince him to play again with more. (Just noticed I said in the vid I hadn't played Big City. Haven't played the Goldsieber edition - my son and I played the ridiculous deluxe edition once.) And Big Shot was played once 3p and it got a tentative 👍, but something happened in our lives shortly after and we haven't yet returned to it. IT WILL HAPPEN. Cheers!
Please consider replacing your iPad or getting the battery swapped/fixed. Swollen batteries are a major safety and fire hazard and can explode.
I think longboxes beat cubes anyday
What is your opinion of foundations of Rome? Is it worth the huge cost?
Also what are your top 10 favorite games? I know ave caesar is up there!
Can't offer opinions on Foundations of Rome, I'm afraid. Haven't played so can't help anyone interested in the 2nd printing being crowdfunded atm. I'm not a fan of the cost, but even moreso the massive Kallax-cube-sized box. I'd say, no matter how amazing the game might be, if you don't have lots of space for games then don't even consider it.
Hmm, yes Ave Caesar, also The Rose King, Kingdoms (3-player only), Crazy Chicken (2-player only), Downfall of Pompeii... Well that's five games I love. I don't know if I can do a Top Ten!
@@BoardGems thanks! Great games! Have you played cubitos or Tammany Hall? I think you would like those.
👍 Tammany Hall
👎 Cubitos
@@BoardGems hmm what are your thoughts on pick picnic vs razzia? Do you like New York 1901?
@@BoardGems automobiles is similar to cubitos. Do you not like that racing game either?
No need to own mini rails if you have Spectaculum imo
Logged on just to mention this! Except for the larger player count and smaller form factor, Mini Rails doesn't bring much to the party...
Interesting! I've played Mini Rails, but not Spectaculum. Would you say Spectaculum is better? At least for 3-4p.
@@BoardGems for 3 to 4 I would definitely play Spectaculum. It's Knizia's cube rails game and it doesn't disappoint! Spectaculum is also playable at 2, which isn't my preferred player count, but can still be fun.
I was the one to suggest Arkadia and Diamond's Club and I really hope you enjoy them. That said, this collection is inspired and was a wonderful watch. I do hate to poke the eternal question, but I have to ask. What made you choose horizontal over vertical for most of your shelves?
Oh, I've played Arkadia before and liked it a lot!
On my Bestå shelves, I store many games vertically just because I can fit more that way - but if there's no other advantage to doing one or the other, I'll do horizontal. For one thing, I tend to keep my plastic inserts, and boxes may pop open and pieces may even spill out if the games don't snugly fit vertically. For another, game boxes get less wear that way; sliding games in and out causes a lot of wear on the games and their neighbours. (Well, compared to gently removing games higher in the stack than the game you want to play. If you're yanking out the bottom game of a stack, that's not great for the boxes either!)
@@BoardGems That's great advice. I'm imploring that I should probably start doing the same with my titles as well. I've long stored them vertically as it just looked nicer. More book-like.
And that's perfectly valid too! They do look nice vertically. There's no right answer, I can just answer why I chose what I did.
And when is that Babylonia video coming 😃
People would probably prefer if I played it first! 😀 Also technically too new for the theme of the channel, heh, but I guess I can do what I want.
@@BoardGems You should definitely play it, it's the definitive "Reiner-sance" game, really a return to form with some infusion of modern gaming design (but not too much!).
I've played it a ton since I got it, including two games yesterday!
