Chris, I liked this format. It felt like there was a more serious tone, while still bringing the level of entertainment I have seen from The Dice Tower.

Halfway through my first game of Captain Flip I said out loud, whelp this is my game of the year. It's so satisfying!

Me thinking i've played "In the footsteps of Darwin", but realizing I've just played "Darwin's Journey"

There have been so many games with similar names come out recently. There's 3 renditions of Expedition(s).

I played "Captain Flip" for the hundredth time in BGA today. The comparison with a potato chip is very accurate. :)

@AlexanderSudibjo 5 күн бұрын

My preference would be Sky Team and Daybreak. Both excellent cooperative experience that deserves to be played by more people. And the cardplay in Daybreak is one of the most fun thing you can do for any player who enjoys the feeling of chaining effects in games.

Chris I’m also addicted to captain flip on BGA. I’m surprised at how much I like it especially as it is a light game. But so fun

@Bleuchz 5 күн бұрын

Daybreak has probably the best cardplay in any game i've played over the past few years. The use of tags and the clever ways the cards play off it is outstanding; I play it digitally solo on the easiest mode during lunch time just because I dig the *feel* of it so much. Fantastic theme as well; some of the co-op stuff is a little bit of a miss for me personally but I'm suuuuuuuuper excited to see the card play mechanism get iterated upon.

Nice discussion - thank you! I've been especially excited by the SdJ's this year. We've been charmed and delighted by Sky Team, while think Captain Flip is the more fitting nominee for SdJ. Even Darwin has been great fun. It's a good year for us!

Ticket Ride Legacy is definitely playable after the legacy. Last weekend we had an epic 4 player game. The family is really digging it post legacy which I was unsure if it would have legs

I think the push your luck aspect in Captain Flip is the Gunner tile. Having three gunners loses the game so that's your gamble.

My wife loves TtR Europe. How does TtR Legacy play with 2 players?

@milesstone7032 4 күн бұрын

In my opinion, the TtR Legacy board is way too large for two people. There wasn’t much competition, and we didn’t even touch a lot of the mechanisms. It would be much better at 4.

Didn’t the Guild of Merchant Explorers come out years ago?

@thedicetower 5 күн бұрын

The Spiel jury considers a game eligible in the year that it was released in the German market specifically. Same thing happened with Raiders of the North Sea a few years back and probably a few others recently.

@ameraceffj 5 күн бұрын

@@thedicetower that makes sense. that one just seems likes it’s been out for a really long time. I think I might have to break out my copy. I’ll probably have to dust it off

Here in Germany we received English copies about two years ago. But it is the German version that counts.

@EngMadison 5 күн бұрын

My guess is Captain Flip and Daybreak. Having said that I think Captain Flip would be a C tier SDJ game. Its pretty forgettable. The game that has now been snubbed by the SDJ is Wandering Towers. Its been a hit with both the game group and family. It would have been a solid B tier SDJ game.

I really hope GoME wins. I think it's an incredible game that far too many passed up due to its awful name and drab artwork. It's a GREAT game. It deserves the recognition, and the bump. TTR will be fine.

@chuckm1961 4 күн бұрын

I will be utterly shocked if Ticket To Ride Legacy does not win. The original game won the Spiel 20 years ago, and the committee clearly adores Matt Leacock. I don’t think the award is based on game quality; once the finalists are chosen, it’s about other things.

@0:00 The phrase is "Welcome back", not "welcome out". "Out" does not make sense. Not sure where you might've picked that one up.

@KannibalBeats 5 күн бұрын

I agree it's a bit odd, but it's not completely nonsensical. It's certainly uncommon but I have heard the phrase "Welcome out", but it's more fitting for an outdoor venue, like a farmer greeting visitors: "Welcome out to our beautiful farm" (not so much a KZfaq video); having said that, it's still a valid introduction.

@chuckm1961 4 күн бұрын

“Welcome out” to the Dice Tower. The blasphemy. How dare he not say the expected thing. I’m sure Chris is grateful for your assistance, and he will only ever say expected, appropriate and “normal” things from now on.
