    Targi is such an awesome game. Lost Cities is nice as well.

    Hah I actually forgot about The Crew until the end, should have seen that coming 😁

    I like the 'Adventure Games' series.
    So far I've played, and enjoyed, Hotel Abaddon, The Dungeon, and Monochorome Inc 🙂

    Excellent review on one of my favorite publishers. So many good ones I didn’t even know.

  • @KabukiKid

    Targi is still probably my all-time favorite from this line. Amazing game and it is crazy that it is STILL the only game from this designer! When/if Andreas Steiger designs another game, I'll definitely be paying attention. :-)

    LOTR Confrontation - if you can find a copy, buy it! Mind-blowing depth for such a small game, especially if you get the FFG version with the variant.

    • @KabukiKid
      @KabukiKid Před 2 lety

      Agreed... very underrated game. Easily one of my favorites from Knizia.

    Odins ravens, The rose king and the remake of Hera and Zeus by Zman Thunder and lighting are pretty great

    @6:33. Someone had to hyperlink that.

    Heard about Lotr Confortation and can't find it anywhere for a resonable price. Played it a bit via Tabletop Simulator and had a blast.

    • @inwyrdn3691
      @inwyrdn3691 Před 2 lety +2

      Yeah, it's crazy expensive, which is a shame. It's almost completely replaced chess and stratego for me.

    • @KabukiKid
      @KabukiKid Před 2 lety +2

      Sin that this one is OOP and expensive now. Hopefully Vasel's Law will kick in and someone will reprint it. :-)

    I like Kahuna and Rose King (which is great for two teams, btw).

  • @yamel91
    @yamel91 Před 2 lety +2

    There actually is a lord of the rings stratego game. It's pretty good and fun imo. But its been awhile since I played it.

  • @MrNumber112
    @MrNumber112 Před rokem

    I love EXIT 😍
    My favorites are: Catacombs of Horror, Dead Man on the Orient Express, and Sinister Mansion 👍
    And I found some very cool puzzles in this one: The Sacred Temple (with jigsaw puzzles)

    @petercsm5769 Před 2 lety

    10 years ago I didn't buy Heave Ho for $20 and never saw it again for this price again. In the tug-o-war to not be a fool, I lost.

  • @wolflarson71
    @wolflarson71 Před 2 lety

    Not Kosmos but Botanik is a great 2 player game that would fit nicely in their line.

  • @spaztekwarrior
    @spaztekwarrior Před 2 lety

    I always liked Caesar and Cleopatra. :)

      Very good game without luck. My first version the rule are in german.

    Hera and Zeus ?

  • @KabukiKid
    @KabukiKid Před 2 lety

    FFG did the big version of Lord of the Rings: Confrontation (they called it Deluxe, originally), which wasn't big for no reason, really... it had large cards with the complete character abilities on them that slid into the standing pieces. It is sort of nicer than the small version because everything you need to know is right on the pieces instead of needing to reference a sheet to remember the powers. You still need it to reference the opponent's pieces and powers, though. There were also alternate character powers that you could play with to change up the game some, if you like... that came in the Deluxe version first, but now all printings just include these "deluxe" options, even if the box no longer claims that it is deluxe. I like the big version, but I do also own the smaller version too. lol Great game! Great enough for me to own it twice like a lunatic! ;-)

    FYI Thames is usually pronounced "tems", not "tames".

    • @YaotzinMI

      Thames is pronounced tems? What in the actual heck

    • @lexodius
      @lexodius Před 2 lety

      Just use metric
