I like the way you can explain a game in 1 minute when you give the examples

I need to get Pluckin Pairs. Thanks for another great VLOG.

Very interesting stuff as always. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

Yeah, all out attack, negotiation, social deduction, action and party - i love all categories starting with all out attack, and nearly refuse to play most games in earlier categories.

Very informative and helpful! Thank you.

Adam, bonkers! Fantastic once again! Yes, the co-op game has never really interested me, maybe because of the alpha issue, but I do find this next generation of competitive co-op, or games where you need to cooperate a little but also look out for yourself of interest because it's a fine line to walk. Social deduction I'm a bit weak on too since I don't like to lie, although bluffing in some games like poker is of interest. Auctions are one of my favorites, but I haven't explored them much outside of the R.K. classics (Medici, Ra, M.A.) but I am looking forward to them in Five Tribes and Isle of Skye once I get them to the table with friends and/or family. Also, thanks for the last few gems at the end, Pluckin' Pairs sounds like great fun for my family, and Time's Up is also a clever mechanic. Lovely game room too! Thanks again.

Hi Adam, than you for this excellent excellent excellent chaper! I hope you continue this with a top ten negotiation or positive interaction games.

awesome video

All out attack is the best!

I very much enjoy your videos - thanks for doing them. Obviously, I'm late to the party -- I just stumbled across your stuff on boardgamegeek a few days ago. Accidental blocking can easily transform into deliberate blocking. Takenoko is a case in point. Recently I started playing this game a lot with my SO. At first, both blocking and aiding were always accidental -- she might inadvertently complete a plot objective for me, or eat bamboo I was growing for a gardener objective -- but as we played more, we got better at reading the "tells" of what the other player was striving for. If I think she is growing red on a water-improvement plot for a gardener objective, I'm going to selectively eat that bamboo. If I lay a couple plot tokens, she's going to think of what plot patterns she knows of that I could be after, and she's going to lay a contradicting color. As it turns out -- if I block TOO much (like pointing roads into her cities in Carcassonne), my SO becomes so agitated with me that it's not worth it. Sometimes the social contract dictates your choices even more than the game does (if she ain't happy, ain't nobody happy :) ).

Im at category 2 and oh boi i wait for the good ones to come xd

Oddly I like bluffing games the best although I am quite bad at them. But I like having to read the other players- anticipating what they might do. I love people watching so I can enjoy myself even though I know I am probably gonna loose 😂 But pair it with a nice theme. Like in Masquerade

please make a full video on Agricola

🤩🤩😍

I really don't like the terms "positive" and "negative" interactions here. You're using them interchangeably with constructive and destructive which are a lot more accurate. The former terms come off as pretty judgemental imo

I'm so tired of multiplayer solitaire games
