Hope you continue with other designers - even if they take five years or never complete. 🙂 These videos help me so much in figuring out what to try - and when. They also make those big name designers games seem much more approachable. So thank you for all the hours that went into these.

This series was so much fun to watch over the years -- thank you for all the time and energy invested into this project!!! For what it's worth, I've played many of these as well though almost always solo if that option is available and my top three are, (1) Nusfjord, (2) Fields of Arle, (3) Caverna. Going back to Nusfjord is like a fresh cup of your favorite tea/coffee on a cold morning...it's hard to explain but I get a very cozy feeling from it every time and the simplicity of the core mechanisms is, for me, among its biggest draws. At any rate, thanks again!

I absolutely love Hallertau, it's my favourite Uwe design. Amusingly enough I have only ever played it solo, and perhaps that is one of the main reasons I love it so much, because it feels like just this one big puzzle to figure out. I get the card luck critisism, but I'm not that bothered with the luck of the draw there. I love trying to see what I can do with whatever I get. Another reason I am so endeared with it is that it's so far the simplest big box Uwe designs to set up and tear down, at least out of the ones I have played. I used to own Caverna a bunch of years ago, and I enjoyed it, but sorting through the dozens of dozens of building times in that game nearly did me in. I pride myself in sorting my games and streamlining the set-up process but I just could not find a way to do that with those building tiles. I am really interested in Fields of Arle, though now, after having seen your playthrough of it. Hope I can find myself a copy of it sometime.

Been really looking forward to this one! Wanted to thank you again for the series, after discovering a few Uwe games last year I also became interested in watching y'all play them which was both entertaining and was immensely helpful for me figuring out whether or not I was interested in them (which was usually a yes). Seeing Nusfjord pretty low does sting but I think you’re spot on about player count. The game was a hit in my gaming group and after many plays we found it really sung at 4p specifically. It was still fine at 3 and 5 but not enough competition at 3 and a little too long/chaotic at 5.

I love that you did this series. Uwe is my favorite designer. I don't by any stretch own all of his games, but I own more of his games than any other designer. I currently have Applejack on pre-order. Thank you so much for your excellent teaches and playthroughs. I can't even imagine how much time you put into this, let alone any teaches and playthroughs that you do. You have to REALLY love games to do this, and I for one am SO glad you do! You have played a lot of Uwe's games, so you really don't have to justify the ranking. There are also emotions / events that can make a game special to one person and not another. I appreciate your list! Who else thinks that the dude on Nusfjord board game looks like Paul Hogan?? 😆 I agree with the "ramp up," conundrum with Feast for Odin. It feels like you are getting nowhere, and suddenly you are filling in those tiles.

As ever, a very enjoyable discussion from you both. Thank you. I always like the discussion versus straight presentation. I’m a long-time Uwe fan and own most of those games you went through. Of the few I don’t own, I have played all but one of them (Oranienburger Canal - I’m hoping for a reprint, but preferably with a different art style and square cards - the reasons it’s not part of my set). When asked by friends which is my favourite game, my heart has (since around 2008) said Agricola. We played that game for at least 2 years, every week without fail, at least once - often many more times. In recent years, as I’ve begun to curate my collection (rather than just collect), I’ve realised that there are several other games that compete with it and my head tells me that they are even, objectively, better. For this reason I think it’s wise to approach ranking with the tier system that you did. It’s clear you both favour A Feast For Odin (what a game!!), but I like the way you say, “these are all top tier”, with the subtext . In that respect my top tier (6 games) for Uwe would be (in no particular order…): - A Feast For Odin - The Fields of Arle (have you played Tea & Trade - it is superb, and there is the possibility of further expansion from the designer of Norwegians) - Agricola - Caverna (I designed an ‘extra-player’ bot last year which can be used for solo or to up-the-player-count for multiplayer games - it needs some more run throughs to improve, but it works very well) - Bohnanza - Le Havre I’m keen to hear your thoughts on Anachrony too - another game that competes for top tier ranking across all games.

We only caught a few of the actual playthroughs from the games, but this wrap up was very interesting and the brief overviews of the games (and how they compared to each other a bit) was helpful. We've only played 5 of his full sized games ourselves here. Hallertau, Nusfjord, Glassroad, Caverna, and Le Havre. For me I would rank them (favorite first) Hallertau, Caverna, Glassroad, Nusfjord, and then Le Havre. We definitely want to eventually get to play Feast for Odin. My gf and I have only been in the hobby a few years so we're looking forward to you guys covering more older games that you still think are great. We like cult of the new as much as the next, but we also enjoy playing those older great games just as much. An old classic to someone else is new to us. You guys make great videos, and don't tell Rodney I said this (don't want the Canadian mafia sent after me) but you guys do as good of a job as he does at teaching games. We've been using a lot of your videos lately where you set up, teach, then play a game. If you don't mind me asking, what do/did you guys do outside of your channel & WIP?

Thank you so much for your excellent coverage of Uwe’s games! One of my favorite designers. I have a hard time ranking his games, but Agricola holds a special place for me. It was our first “heavier” game, and it’s still great. With the big expansion and the deck expansions, there is just so much variety. I also enjoy Caverna a lot, and I am curious to see how the expansions change it up. Le Havre is excellent, though I only play it on the app. Fields of Arle is another one that often feels like a favorite. I adore Glass Road! Caverna Cave vs Cave is fun. Agricola All Creatures is nice enough, but we both decided we would rather play its sibling game. Loyang is one I play on Yucata. Not a favorite, but fun to play. Oranienburger Kanal is great so far, though I have only tried it solo. Atiwa is nice enough, but fell a bit flat for me. I think it is missing the variability I love in his other games.

Congratulations on completing the series. What a massive undertaking. I’m really looking forward to the mind clash series when it arrives. Regarding Agricola, I’ve played Agricola a lot. And I don’t think its as tough as people say it is. It’s tight but with experience I’m not scared of the game. What I appreciate most about it is that as your engine develops it remains tight - props to Uwe for programming it that way. I don’t believe you two have tried the farmers of the moor and I’d recommend that. It lifts the game. I think it’s back in print now but was hard to get for a while. I’ve only played four Uwe games and I’d rate them: 1. Agricola 2. Feast for Odin 3. Caverna 4. Ora set Laboura But I’ve only played Ora Et Laboura once and I need to give it another couple of tries.

The very many cards of Agricola provide direction and variation.

That was very interesting, thanks a lot :) Regarding Fields of Arle: The Expansion Tea and Trade raises the player count to 3 players. Also, its one of these "never play without it again"-expansions that brings a lot to the game. The same is true even more for the Norvegians expansion for Feast of Odin... it smoothes out most of the little weaknesses of the base game.

But having watched your series, the ones I'm most interested in are definitely Nusfjord (I'm a sucker for the cute little fish meeples), Fields of Arle (because I play a lot at 2P), Caverna (which I've wanted to play since getting into the hobby) and of course, A Feast for Odin (the amount of love people have for this games is insane).

Feast for Odin might be Uwe's magnum opus, but I think this series may stand as YOUR magnum opus! lol But f'reals, I think this has been some of my favorite content ever, and I've already leaned on a few of these videos for learning Uwe games, so I imagine they will continue to be indispensable for their utility but also for the entertainment value of just opening up my eyes to what euros can be (the Lacerda series also did that for me)

Thank you so much for this series and all the work you out into sharing all these wonderful games with the community! A Fest for Odin is a game I would love to try next and it seems like it might very well be worth it! Thank you so much!

Been enjoying this series! My favourite designer! Would you consider doing a designer series on Vlaada Chvátil at some point? That list would be insanely varied and entertaining.

Thanks for doing this video. I like to think of Uwe Rosenberg as the Michelangelo of boardgames. If Agricola is the refinement and precision statue of David, then A Feast for Odin is extravagantly dazzling Sistine Chapel. The man has range.

This series was amazing i love Uwe games. I ALMOST buy Reykhold several times, it goes on sale here in Brasil a lot(Around R$ 200,00) and now i know im not going to do that, I'll buy Halertau instead. Thank you for all the information on your videos. Board game here in Brazil its VERY expensive, Agricola 15 for example cost R$999,99 (no joking) and the minimum wage here its R$1300,00 That's why your videos it's so important, so people don't waste a lot of money on games that they would not like. Again, Thanks for your vídeos, it helps A LOT.

Great series! It literally caused me to buy Nusfjord and At the Gates of Loyang. I have only played 7 Rosenburg games so I'll give you my list and include the one tile game I've played in it. 1- LeHavre, 2- Nusfjord, 3- At the Gates of Loyang, 4- Sagani, 5- Ora et Labora, 6- Agricola, 7- Caverna. I can see why you ranked Nusfjord lower at 2 player. Get more folks! We have never played it at less than 5 players and it's a hoot. For me, Agricola and Caverna are pretty much the same, Caverna just adds more stuff and makes the game longer. Neither are bad per se but I can see both being moved down easily as other new ones come out. I've always wanted to try Feast for Odin, held the box in my hands a few times but it's sooo expensive, looks overwhelming and is only 4 player which is problematic in our normal 5+ player group. I can't find the Norwegians expansion either which is kind of a bummer. My wife and I are considering some 2 player games now as our group, which has been together gaming for 45 years now, is aging. It's getting harder to go out! LOL. Keep the great content coming!

First...great series. There are a number of Uwe games I havent played, but of those that I have AFfO would be my favorite. Le Havre is up there too. And my wife and I enjoy All Creatures Big and Small and yes, the myriad of other buildings really change the flavor of each game. Caverna is next on our list...we have it...just havent got it to the table. Shelf of "opportunity" is a real thing. I sure hope the moving out of your house for "a couple months" is for a "good" reason like some remodeling. Or an extended trip...though your phrasing didnt sound like a trip. Whatever, I hope it goes well. Lastly...quite looking forward to Anachrony. Saw a play of it some time ago and i figure you two will make it shine in a playthrough.

@@BeforeYouPlay My guesses for your other four favorite designers would be: Vital Lacerda, Alexander Pfister... then maybe Dávid Turczi, Simone Luciani, or Daniele Tascini? Maybe Shem Phillips, too? 🤔 By the way, here are my favorite Uwe Rosenberg games I've ever played (including on BGA), although I regrettably haven't played as many as you both have! 1. A Feast for Odin 2. Glass Road 3. Hallertau 4. Agricola 5. Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small 6. Patchwork 7. Nova Luna 8. Framework 9. Applejack 10. Bohnanza

Enjoyed this video very much 👍 Played ten games out of the list an A Feast for Odin is for sure my #1 as well and in my all time Top 3. Oranienburger Canal comes second, played it close to 50 times this year, maybe the best solo game ever with great depth for such a short play time. Agricola and Fields of Arle coming next, also being in my all time Top 15-20.

I’m right with you on most of your rankings. I’ve played the games mostly solo and my ranking would be: 1. A feast for Odin 2. Caverna 3. Agricola 4. Fields of Arle 5. Nusfjord. They are all games I enjoy playing solo- Right now I’m picking up some new Agricola decks and trying out the new cards. Such a fun puzzle. I’ve had Caverna the longest time- such great feelings about it and learning how to use the different tiles. Thanks for all the work that went into the series. I’ve been hoping that O Canal will be available in the US, it looks like one I would like.

I appreciate the reviews because I do really like Uve's games. I have La Havre and Agricola. I got Fields of Arle, which is now rare, off the used market and I need to try that. If that goes well I'll be looking to get Feast for Odin.
