I'm a huge fan of Stonemaier Games, and count Viticulture, Scythe, and Tapestry among my top 30 games of all time. I have gotten people into the hobby with Viticulture (which I never play without Tuscany unless teaching someone who's new to gaming, but with Tuscany it is a 10/10 for me). I also appreciate how engaged Jamey is with the community, even to the point of answering specific questions I had in the BGG forums. My list would be like this (these are all the ones I've tried so far): Viticulture+Tuscany Scythe Tapestry (which I love and need to play more of!) Between Two Castles Wingspan

I love Stonemaier Games!! Libertalia is a phenomenal gateway game and doesn't get the love it should. So simple mechanically, so much fun to play. Here's what I truly heart about SM games. The organization! You can tell that it's a company run by people who game themselves as the production is so well thought out even down to making it clear how to put the game back in the box. They just poop excellence over there at Stonemaier.

I've only played 'Wingspan' and 'Rolling Realms' (which I loved). Red Rising has always looked interesting to me, but I haven't tried it. Looking forward to diving into the 'Scythe' universe with the new game 'Expeditions' coming out. Cool video guys, thanks!

I am also grateful to Stonemaeir Games for sending review copies. I was shocked the first time as my channel is so small. I've personally bought most of their games, but I'm very grateful the 4 or 5 games / expansions they've sent. My top 3 are 3) Viticulture, 2) Tapestry and 1) Scythe. You should try Smitten, it is like a Button Shy game and is 2-player cooperative or solo. I still need to play Pendulum and Charterstone. Great video!

What a great video! Featuring Stonemaier Games brings together two of my favorite creators: you and Jamey! I have at least 10 SM games and all the related expansions. Our first SM game was Scythe. It wasn't the title that got us into board gaming, exactly, but it did a heckuva job accelerating our appreciation and consumption in the hobby! Would rank Scythe, Tapestry, Euphoria, and Wingspan at #1 because a four-way tie is just how it is.

Very fun little ranking video! Wingspan wasnt necessarily my gateway game (that was dominion), but it was the game that really showed me how interesting and beautiful board games could be, so it will always have such a special place in my heart. I've only played 6 of those that you mentioned (wingspan, viticulture, tapestry, scythe, rolling realms, and red rising) but of those 6, I think my ranking falls almost identically to Jamie's, so well done :)

I've only played three Stonemaier games. Scythe, Wingspan and Viticulture; I'd really like to try Tapestry. Viticulture has never hit for me. Wingspan didn't hit until I played it with the European expansion, which just opens it up more. I have Asia, but I have yet to play Oceaania. Scythe I adore. I have painted it, own everything but the airships and played thru Fenris. When I heard the name: Expeditions I was really hoping for a co-op version of Scythe, new board and player boards but the ability to port all your minis over. Dreams dashed, but I'll probably check out Expeditions down the line.

As a big stonemaier fan, I definitely need to try a few that I have not tried yet. Scythe got me into bigger games, played alot, lose alot to my wife (she's better at strategy, I'm a lil better at tactical..aka on the fly decisions), have played and enjoyed wingspan, but own viticulture with Tuscany, between 2 cities essential, tapestry with almost all expansions. We used to own euphoria and expansion, and it was fun, but just had too many other games that were better and played more! As for your comments about viticulture, I love the essential edition, but Tuscany definitely elevated it for me. As for Jeff trying to win without filling orders, it's possible. We had a 5 player game, and my wine cards were garbage, so .focused on visitor cards victory points and won with having only about 2 wine in my.cellar and 0 orders filled. The 2 new people to the game were just dying laughing that it's possible. We do have on order the one expansion that changes out the visitor cards that make the cards and game about needing to make wine and so forth. Anyways, thanks for another amazing video!

Clearly I need to try Tapestry now. I highly recommend playing Wingspan with the Oceania boards. I like the new game end bird abilities and nectar but I love the boards. It's easier to get food and birds but harder to get eggs. It's more balanced and makes it less likely for someone to play the egg strategy in the final round. I've only played Wingspan, Viticulture, and Scythe. Rise of Fenris was awesome. I want to play through it again.

My Little Scythe outranks Scythe for me. Given how much you like Scythe, I'd say it's worth checking out. It's faster, smoother, friendlier, and cuter. It's a little light without Pie In The Sky, but I think it's really the essence of what I like about Scythe without all the extra cruft.

The end condition for My Little Scythe is just a straight race for stars, which eliminated the "scoring is pretty obvious" thing I found from playing Scythe on computer. Different strokes for different folks, but it felt like the Fantasy Realms to Red Rising for me.

We played red rising and wingspan last night. I like red rising, but it just doesn't shine at 2. We kind of settled into our hand early and spent most of the last 10 turns just scouting and waiting for the end. If we play with more players it takes a long time between turns. I think it's a game I want to love, but always disappoints a bit.
