Your favorites are the ones I was lead developer I’m proud my name is on those boxes. They are my favorites too. Lisboa is very good too.

Good video idea. Vital is my favorite designer and I also love Kanban and Weather Machine. Lisboa is also excellent, you should give it another shot.

I have Weather Machine, The Gallerist and Co2 and would rank them in that order. Did you know Co2 has an official semi-coop variant? Also, the artwork in The Gallerist (in fact the whole game) has been said by some to be a bit of a joke on the commercialism of art and that the quality of the artwork is *meant* to be inconsequential. It's really all about influence and money. (nearly) Lastly, Lativ's full name is Seni Lativ. Vital has a daughter named Ines! Actually lastly, I'd love to see a "Let's talk about... Uwe Rosenberg" as he is my favourite designer. But maybe Stefan Feld or Bruno Cathala? I'm very much enjoying your content. Thanks!

Great initiative ! Would love to hear such an episode on Simone Luciani, Daniele Tascini !

Yes! A very good overview of Lacerda's games! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your discussion. So far, I have all the games by this designer except for Escape Plan. Unfortunately, I don't have too many opportunities to play such complex games. I mostly play with my wife, who isn't as passionate a gamer as I am (which is why I also play solo a lot). However, I managed to convince her to play On Mars and Kanban EV. So, for now, I've only played those two. And that's where my collection of Lacerda's games started. I really enjoy both of them, but I bring out Kanban EV more often because it has a much better solo mode than On Mars. My current plan is to slowly introduce my wife to The Gallerist or Vinhos, but it will be a gradual process since I have to find the right moment (my wife isn't very keen on learning new games). Thank you very much for the video, and for creating a list of game designers for rankings, I can suggest Alexander Pfister and Stefan Feld. Take care!

i am so into lacerda's games because of their complexity. i was curious if i should hunt for lisboa since we inly have it on second market and it costs fortunes. but you got me with kanban.. i think i will try to find it instead

You have to give Lisboa another chance. You mentioned how it was overly complex and had many things that seemed meaningless to the theme - couldn’t be further from the truth as every action and detail of the game has a direct connection to the historical facts behind the rebuilding of the city and that makes it one of the most thematic games around. I taught my 74 yr old mother the game in a couple of hours and she was breezing through it shortly after…

Good discussion. I am keen to hear more of this series. Coincidentally, we played kanban last Sunday, and really enjoyed it. I only played weather machine once and was enjoyable. I watched the playthroughs by Before you Play, and I'm most keen to play the Gallerist and Vinhos.

I think my ranking has to be 1. On Mars 2. Kanban EV 3. Weather Machine 4. Escape Plan 5. The Gallerist 6. Lisboa 7. Vinhos 2010 8. Bot Factory 9. Mercado De Lisboa Have not played c02. Hes my favorite designer!

22:48 me too! i think the look is too plain for the theme

I finally found people for playing heavy games, and played On Mars a second time. It gets better the more you know it and play it. Do you like original Kanban more than EV?

We have renamed Sandra to Karen.
