    Feels like this is a more objective rating, to see what you actually think of the game after the first hype!

    Dune Imperium is one of my favorite games that I try to play every month along with Root and Everdell. Wingspan ranks up there, too, but I've been playing it more on Board Game Arena than in person, but my favorite version is the duo mode of Wingspan Asia.
    As to my board games tastes over time...they've certainly changed a lot since I first started playing 20 years ago, but I just started building up my own collection over the past 5 years, and so far my favorites have remained fairly consistent since then with Root continuing to shine as my all-time favorite game since even before then.

    I've always described Ares Expedition as "Race for Terraforming Mars" but i do still keep them both. In my experience, its easier to introduce a new player to Ares and THEN have them learn Terraforming Mars just so they don't feel so overwhelmed. Also, unsolicited observation here, you guys should have links to the reviews you talk about that show up at the moment you identify the new game :P

      I love all factions and how each time you play them the game will be different and thus you will play them differently, yet there is space to force something if you really want it. So many paths to victory but more importantly, fun!
      The bag building and the reveals that happen in battles are so engaging and regularly create fantastic and memorable moments. The quality of this and touch point feel is so nice in my super deluxe edition, and that absolutely contributes to my love for this game.

    Wingspan I really wanted to like, but it fell flat for me. I gave it so many chances and every gaming session left me feeling unfulfilled, which is a rarity with these kinds of games because I love the genre.
    Merchants & Marauders, however, was a massive drop, going from one of my favourites (or "hotness", really) into a game I don't even want to play anymore, letalone keep in my collection. It does so painfully many things right, and since Sid Meier's Pirates! is one of my all-time favourite video games, this one was an easy one to get into. But unfortunately it is LONG, complicated, ridiculously random (ie. you can get ridiculously overpowered instakill cards at random and death is super punishing) and especially the ship vs ship battles just drag like crazy. Such a shame, I think this game is so close to being one of the best sandbox style games out there, but has some critical weaknesses that just makes the experience miserable for me.
    Smash Up! also left my collection after being one of my go-to easy card games. I don't think the player count scales well, two players can be a blowout at random and four player game drags on for way too long. At the end of the day, it just felt lacking and other card games have taken its place. Also, my tastes as a gamer have definitely evolved more into a heavy eurogame direction, so that might also be a factor. Unlike M&M, I would still play this one occasionally though, just not enough to warrant shelf space in my own collection.

    • @salmonblox
      @salmonblox Před 2 měsíci

      Smash Up was one of the first 10 or so games I got; it looked so fun on Wil Wheaton’s TableTop and the theme was right up my alley at the time.
      These days I find the gameplay tedious and the theme not exactly cringe, but just… kinda pandering. Funny how your tastes can change so much in 10 years.

    This was fun, because i agreed in some cases with things like Wingspan, its great, especially initially, but after playing it several times it loses its charm. Still fun, just not as amazing as i first thought!
    Not played Wyrmspan yet, i do wonder if it would manage to recapture the feeling, however i wish they'd stuck with the nature theme. Was part of the appeal.
