    • @hanshoh9680
      @hanshoh9680 Před rokem +2

      The enjoyment of Feed the Kraken is group dependent, but not by a large margin, meaning that the overwhelming majority loves it (even players who didn't expect to like it, or dislike social deduction in general). We see that at conventions all the time, but you can also see that by looking at the bgg ratings distribution.
      Feed the Kraken gives you an amazing stage setting and the perfect tools to generate information to discuss. If that doesn't lead to a great experience, then the whole genre doesn't seem to work for you.

    I love to play Hadrians Wall (solo) and Dune Imperium (solo and multiplayer). Recently I started to play Skytear: Horde (solo) and it's fighting for the top places in my list :) It has a great art, it's easy to set up and it's challenging and very exciting. At the moment I am exploring different pre-built alliance decks vs different Horde decks and different Outsiders (bosses), but there is a list of challenges and ways to explore deck building... Also - it has co-op and PvP modes as well. Can't wait to play it more :)

    Great lists! Looking at your top 10s, we play Dune Imperium a lot - definitely in my top 20. Eclipse and Terraforming Mars would also be in my top 20, though they don't get played as often. Most of the others I've yet to play but I think that I would at least like all of them. I got LotR TCG for Christmas but haven't broken it out yet - I'm really excited to play it!
    Here's my top 10...
    Gloomhaven
    Sleeping Gods
    Arkham Horror TCG
    Agricola
    Search for Planet X
    This War of Mine
    Viticulture EE (with Tuscany)
    Spirit Island
    Mage Knight
    Titan

    @flofinke1265 Před rokem +1

    First time I watched one of your videos, but good picks at all I have to say! I just bought Nemesis, already painted it but never played it yet (maybe we will change this tonight). And so great to see RuneWars in a top10 list as we played it for years, and I still love it! I guess Feed the Kraken has also the potential to enter my list in the future. Also I need to play Barrage and I am sure I will like it.
    My top 10 of all times actually are:
    1. BloodRage
    2. Terraforming Mars
    3. Ark Nova
    4. Dune: Imperium
    5. RuneWars
    6. Wingspan

    10. Ankh - Gods of Egypt

    Great list, mine would overlap with almost all of those mentioned! I was wondering: in your opinion, is the Deluxe edition of Wonderland's War worth it? What's the difference between that and the retail version?

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +2

      I backed the deluxe version because it comes with minis (that I would love to paint one day) and they have better looking pieces, token bags etc. Is it necessary? No, not at all. But if you're willing to spend that extra money the game will pop and feel so much more intriguing. At least for me. /JT

  • @GrandElemental
    @GrandElemental Před rokem +32

    My top-10 would be:
    1. Mage Knight the boardgame (all expansions + custom dwarf character)
    2. Spirit Island (+ first two expansions)
    3. Scythe (+ first expansion)
    4. Race for the Galaxy (+ first two expansions)
    5. Gloomhaven
    6. Ark Nova
    7. Cosmic Encounter (+ all expansions)
    8. Res Arcana (+ both expansions)
    9. Everdell
    10. Thunderstone Advance (epic variant + all expansions)
    You two had great lists too! Nemesis is easily my favourite thematic game, despite it being super random and unfair. Dune Imperium is definitely growing on me, the design feels almost flawless in just how effortlessly it plays. I want to get Dwellings of Eldervale at some point, but unfortunately I missed the KS campaign. I enjoyed my one play of it though, even with the worst dice rolling streak of all-time (16 defeats in a row!). I just played Feed the Kraken for the first time last weekend, mostly thanks to this channel's strong recommendation, and wasn't disappointed! I'll see if it overtakes Deception: Murder in Hong Kong as my favourite social deduction game, it certainly has potential but needs more playtime to judge properly.
    It was great to see so much overlap with you guys, your content has been extremely strong from the very beginning and I love watching your reviews!

    Twilight struggle is awesome! I wish it was more than 2 players but it's so good, the cards are awesome, they use historical photos, there are small mechanixs that just barely give the edge over the opponent, player positions are offset by being the US or USSR, unspoken rules that can be broken for interesting gameplay

    5. Mistborn: House War
    6. Teraforming Mars: Ares Expedition
    7. Lost Ruins of Arnak
    8. Star Wars Rebellion
    9. Salem 1692
    10. Betrayal Legacy
    Janis, I think if you like thematic wargames you would absolutely die for Undaunted: Stalingrad. The other Undaunted games are amazing but Stalingrad is incredible because it is a legacy game and as you are going through you really grow attached to your soldiers and it just hurts so much when they die. The last couple scenarios we played were absolute bloodbaths and the entire time I was in fear as it came down to the wire and I lost a lot of my veteran soldiers but was still able to barely win the scenario limping across the finish line with some reservist soldiers. Lots of twists and turns from the Legacy game component and what is nice is that it is 100% resettable, as when tiles get blown up or soldiers die you don't tear up the card, but instead replace the card with a reservist or they get a promotion that is an extra box on a new card rather than putting a sticker on the original one. Most emotional board game experience I have ever had.

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem

      It is on my wishlist for a while as my son and I played the Normandy one. But after your pitch it has moved up to the 1st spot. Also, let me ask you about the Mistborn board game, is it worth trying to get my hands on? I have read the books and loved them. /JG

    • @Panamaniac3D
      @Panamaniac3D Před rokem

      @@BoardGameHangover The Mistborn one is really really good. It used to be my favorite game of all time until Dune Imperium and Undaunted came out. The idea is that you are the great houses of the Final Empire. There are a lot of problems on the table and you can only solve 1/2 to 2/3 of them, the rest result in horrible things that affect people in various ways. You have to work together to solve the problems, but only one of you can win, so there is a lot of politics and negotiation as well as backstabbing. Perfect blend of coop and competition and the points are all hidden so you don't actually know who is ahead. Tons of fun with limited resources and picking between two or more bad things that could happen.

  • @rbarrett111
    @rbarrett111 Před rokem

    Twilight Stuggle, War of the Ring 2nd Edition, The Battle of Five Armies, and Star Wars Rebellion - probably the reigning two-player only games for sheer head to head strategizing. All worthy candidates.
    I have to mention Tikal with two players, as well. Just head-to-head mental crunching with two players, just as good as those others up there, and it's cheaper no doubt, and it can support I forget, up to five players, I think. Insanely protracted strategies in that one.

    @mrlastjudgment Před rokem +1

    I haven't actually played a lot of these but most were on my wishlist. Specifically Eldervale, Wonderland's War and Spirit Island.
    My current top 10 has to be:
    1. Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization
    2. Everdell
    3. Brass: Birmingham
    4. Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game
    5. Ticket to Ride: Europe (15th Anniversary Edition)
    6. Eldritch Horror
    7. 7 Wonders
    8. Disney Villainous
    9. Wingspan
    10. Azul
    I still have 8 board games which I havent even played yet which will probably shake up my top 10. I still have to play Twilight Struggle, Ark Nova, Castles of Burgundy, Terraforming Mars, Eclipse 2nd Dawn of the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings: Journeys of Middle-Earth, Gloomhaven and Terra Mystica.

    4. Galaxy Trucker
    5. Risk Legacy
    6. King of Tokyo
    7. Scythe
    8. Azul
    9. Survive Atlantis
    10. Pandemic Legacy
    Shoutouts to Dune Imperium, Tales from the Arabian Nights, and Wingspan which I’ve only played once each. Wingspan in particular has the potential to make it in my top 8 or so

  • @CallMeSparky1
    @CallMeSparky1 Před rokem +1

    1. Dune Imperium (Both Expansions)
    2. Root (Everything)
    3. Inis
    4. Spirit Island (everything)
    5. Kemet
    6. Ark Nova
    7. Everdell (Belfast xpac)
    8. Twilight Inscription
    9. Clank! Catacombs (probably the best version Clank I've ever played)
    10. Lost Ruins of Arnak (Expedition expansion)
    Dune Imperium is just hands down the best game I've ever played. My play group has logged nearly a hundred plays and we still aren't tired of it. Both expansions are just *Chefs Kiss* and it only gets more fun the more experienced people you play with. Root hold a special place in my heart as being the board game that started my boardgame addiction, still my favorite area control battler game. I don't even own Inis and its managed to make a top 3 for me, every game I've played has been a back and forth edge of the seat, multiple players about to win at the same time unique experience. I love how you go from about to win to knocked out of the game, to about to win again in 2 rounds, you never feel safe on top and never feel out of the gam on the bottom. Also like root, the art is phenomenal.

      "I left so many good games off of my list" we feel you. It's really hard to narrow it down to just 10. Based on your top 10 you'll really have a blast with Dune Imperium. Fits right in there.

    Dune Imperium is my the most played game of 2022. I think i played more than 400 games xD Can't wait for the new expansion so I can play it again! A month ago i tried Northgard: Uncharted Lands and I was blown away! It's very simple and streamlined 4X game mixed with deckbuilding mechanics and it's really good and fun! I want to get Eclipse, but it's so god damn expensive xD

      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +1

      It hasn't slipped far... It's 11th this year. Mostly it's because I found it difficult to get to the table this year. It's on the longer side and had other games that replaced a lot of it's playing time. Yet I still really enjoy it!

  • @UnitedMandrakes
    @UnitedMandrakes Před rokem

    Easily my favorite game of all time is Brass: Birmingham, then Twilight Imperium, followed by The Quacks of Quedlinburg. Quacks is the most interesting chill group game because you aren't going against each other but you're also watching carefully as you randomly pull out your ingredients and hope your pot doesn't explode. Best game and I've gotten a lot of people into it.
    Least favorite game: Doomlings. Too slow, 1 card a turn and just waiting for others to go. I've won with only 3 cards on the board after 45 min of playing. Its just not fun because there is so little to do and in the end everything you do can be randomly sabotaged by others.

    Man surprised to see Wonderland’s War there. I only played once and while I appreciated the production, the game didn’t feel that elegant or intuitive to me. Also it just is long to play and set up, as compared to the fun of the play. I was hoping for more, as I love a great production, the art, the theme, bag building, push your luck etc. Somehow the sum of the parts wasn’t that great to me in my play.

    Every time I watch your top I remorse selling Spirit Island. I have played it thrice with 3 different groups and all said it's boring. I liked it but decided to sell it and buy Robinson Crusoe. My friends like it as and I. But Spirit Island was a good pick and I should have kept it in collection for solo play or other group that would assess it better. Now I have to wait for Ukrainian localisation if it ever happen

    to be honest for LOTR card game I got the game as it had great review, but didn't like it much, I only got the base version, maybe spending more money on it would make it better but as far as I played it's not sitting in my shelf getting dust
    for the nemesis, haven't played lockdown, as I got the base version KS and happily review was so good I managed to sell it easily without loosing any money, really don't like it, too random.
    only game it's in my top 10 is spirit island, I have gloomhaven/root which didn't appear and for me are both worth to be in the top 10

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +3

      If you didn't enjoy the base mechanisms of LOTR Card game the extra sets won't really help with that. It helps with deck building and story, but the gameplay really doesn't change from the basic set.
