Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!

Thanks Joachim. I really appreciate it! :)

Thank you. I appreciate that!

Ya. That's where I'm at. It could still be fun to just replay a given skirmish once we finish. We'll see.

@@DriveThruReview yeah, especially considering the number of available heroes and how different they all seem to play.

Oof. No Dan! No!

I guess that's true. I don't go into the game section of Target a ton, but I forgot those you mentioned were there.

Haha... well I'm sorry for the shipping. I feel you. It's still in my collection (also have the expansion). It's just one of those things where I'm more into historical stuff at the moment, when five years ago, I wasn't :)

@@DriveThruReview There’s something about historical games, and now science games?!

@@greytoeimp Science games?

@@DriveThruReview I dunno like, games with scientific stuff as a theme. I would say terraforming, ark nova, wingspan; earth

@@DriveThruReview Yeah, I guess we're constantly evolving into different phases on the hobby, but I definitely can hardly avoid weird stuff (like Cryptic Explorers, Dark Venture BotA, Machina Arcana, Lockwood’s Asylum and such). On top of it, it's my first chit pull system game and I'd always wanted one of those, so... it was the perfect storm. I hope it arrives this week.

To me the Pamir games are totally different. I have no, frankly, enjoyed any Pax game except Pax 2. The others (I've not played them all) are just a bit jumbly and almost wholistically chaotic affairs :)

Feeling the same with CitOW!

A few other folks have brought that up. I think I may have to give that list a go.

That's a good one.

Noted. This seems to be of interest to a few folks. Thanks!

Amen. If Star Wars or Marvel "turned me on" as much as AoS, I'd be living over there I'm sure. To be fair though, no one can do narrative like AoS for that scale of game (except arguable some games on the next video) ;)

I've not. I should check them out. Thanks!

Co-MVP. I don't disagree with you. The action selection is beautiful... but the merge just shoots it over the moon.

That could be an interesting list. There are some games I've played and enjoyed, but never want to play again... but not because I think they are bad in any way. I'll chew on it :)

I'll have to give that one a look.

Actually no. I don't really like any of the expansions for Ankh. (Should have mentioned that).

@@DriveThruReview Thank you! BTW - Love this channel. So much great content here.

Most of the games I have played more than 12 times. I'll talk more about this in the final video (and link to another video with some more in depth on "quality" vs "favorite"). I also touched on this briefly in the first video in the series. But, to me there are different metrics at play here. I don't want to spoil the last video, but Pandemic: Legacy is an alternative to one of the games in that video. There are different ways to stack games against each other: sales, BGG ranking, personal taste, and (arguably) objective quality. This list isn't objective quality. It's my personal favorites. If I'm, in a sense, never going to play a game again... it doesn't make the list. That might not be the same for everyone making such a list. But, my personality, is not to hold a candle for very many things... for too long. It's murky.

The setting and lore I enjoy. I have Necromunda a bit further down the list (my favorite way to "40k"). But, as far as the standard tabletop army game, anytime I have played 40k and then went back and played AoS... at least for me... it's just a much better all around experience. I'm one of those nuts that enjoys the priority roll and the more melee-slanted focus of AoS. Having masses of troops just blasting each other (for the most part) just doesn't engage me like it does in skirmish games (like Necromunda, Stargrave, etc...)

@@DriveThruReview Thanks for that. I am playing AoS, but with the imminent release of 10th edition, I thought I might try 40K. I appreciate your clarification. 👍

@@ashforbes4666 I'll still check out 10th Edition (I have two 40k armies). Maybe it will be fun :)

Here’s hoping 🙌

Which armies do you have?

I've played Mezo. I enjoyed it :)

Those are all great thoughts. I think where I landed was that it's a different metric. Take games sold as a metric for example. Ticket to Ride is in a ton more homes than something like Brass: Birmingham (the #1 game on BGG currently). It's really hard to compare those games against each other if you're using two different metrics to rank them. Instead, you'd have to place them in one metric and compare them... and then place them in the other metric and compare them there. They each win in that case... They win different competitions though. But, I get what you're saying :)

Don't tempt me Frodo.

Ya... it can play more than four... but.... why... :)
