Love your channel. You guys talk about Dune all the time. Would love to hear your thoughts about the 2 expansions (Rise of Ix and Immortality). Once New Zealand is out, would also love to see a comparison of the 3 new GWTs.

Fantastic list, love all the games on your top 10. We had Brass Birmingham and sold it after a handful of games and whilst a solid game certainly not one we appreciated very much. Ark Nova is not as good as Terraforming Mars, but im sure because its newer, some would disagree. Great video guys.😊

Seldom people would join me in appreciation of Lacerda games( I really like his thematic Kanban EV, Gallerist or Lisboa. I miss there Ark Nova, Brass, Troyes, Obsession and Arnak as one of favourites . Thank you for the video about Euro games!

Personal opinion here. Scythe has terrific components production quality but terrible gameplay. Anachrony is my top-1 on par with Dune.

@iansutton7416 11 ай бұрын

Eclipse most definitely a hybrid, and for me, one that leans much further towards thematic than euro. Indeed I'd say Scythe is more euro than Eclipse. FWIW I do appreciate the breaking down of false barriers these hybrids offer, and sometimes the combo is excellent. Probably wrong to include Eclipse here, irrespective of whether we agree / disagree on its relative position.

@Exozik 11 ай бұрын

I agree with you.

@stevekingswell9143 11 ай бұрын

Firstly, a great fun video, and by definition, a hybrid-Eurogame, is a type of Eurogame, QED. What’s missing, Hamsa Teutonica and Concordia. Upvote for Eclipse and Dune Imperium.

How do you count an admitted hybrid game as a euro? Haha. Creative list guys.

@nikosmessis 11 ай бұрын

Euro game meaning has been completely lost the last few years. Most of the games qualify as euro games so it's so hard to make a euro only list. My suggestion is providing the meaning of the category before starting the list! For the specific video: What is a euro game, what do you qualify as a euro game etc. I would really like to know your opinion on Brass: Birmingham.

In my opinion there are so many similar Lords of Waterdeep games that do better maintaining simplicity, that's the advantage of LOW. For example I would prefer almost anyGarphills game over LOW (like Raiders of the North Sea)

DUNE. Of course it is. I endorse this decision. To quote Ferris Bueller, "if you have the means, I highly suggest you pick one up. It is so choice." 😇😈💙 Another great video! Your fun, playful dynamic is still the best. Ark Nova surprised me in the best way (being pretty certain I'd bounce off it immediately.) I deeply disliked Terraforming Mars, but I'm so glad I tried Ark Nova despite the similarities. The ARNO solo variant is such a good experience.

Man the word euro doesn't even mean anything anymore. Most of these games pivot around lucky card draws. Euros are supposed to be zero luck and 100% open information. Cards are just as random as dice. Just because they "feel" less random doesn't change the math.

My top 10 euro of all time: 10: Tiletum 09: Clans of Caledonia 08: Orleans 07: Caverna 06: Castles of Burgundy 05: Concordia 04: Gaia Project 03: Great Western Trail: Argentina 02: A Feast for Odin 01: Brass: Birmingham. I did not include any tableau builders because I feel like that genre of card focused games came about recently as euros got more and more hybridized. When I think of euros, I always pictured more of a board in the middle rather than focused on a tableau of cards. Also did not include any combat or take that oriented games, I like my euros to only have tension caused by blocking and timing.
