My top ones are Everdell, Parks, Wingspan, Dixit, Mysterium, Trekking thru History, Planted, Canvas, Bonsai and Azul. 🧐 not sure what the order would be… 😁 And a shout out to Disney Villianous, for individualized character backgrounds and cards are so on point.

There's a few times in the video when you show multiple rows on the left containing tiles of the same color. How could this ever be possible? Like at 11:20 in the video, how could those 2 rows on the left both contain dark blue tiles?

Ooh this looks great and my kids would absolutely love this game. I love how it teaches strategies and teamwork to reach a goal. Great video, thankyou.

Oh my goodness! I've never seen most of these games in Australia and they are so fun looking! My kids and I love playing Shark Bite. You feed the shark the amount of fish you roll and hope the shark toy doesn't pop up and eat your fishing rod. It's so funny.

Amazing... I didn't know about that! Where can we find it? You say they give it for free? Awesome!!!

Very clear explanation! Ordered Azul on Prime Day deal today and excited to get it. I feel ready to play when it arrives!

Do I score all my wonders at the end or just the one's that are constructed?

thanks guys we watched the whole thing!

I have one that i just saw it

Hi BGP: Do you have guidelines for submitting a game for a playthrough/review? :)

More little mechanics that confused me. After watching a few times and playing through, I think I am starting to get it. I have only played solo and I would recommend playing with others first. There is alot to keep track of.

Thanks for sharing all this! I just posted my first how-to-play video, and I found your behind-the-scenes info very useful! I especially appreciated how you made use of stuff around the house you already had. And also your advice about getting good sound, which reminded me I had a lapel mic buried in one of my drawers.

Best explanation of the game; Wingspan is much better learnt with a playthrough! Thank you.

Firefly is one of my favorites, but it is indeed a long haul game!

If it plays under 3h its not a epic game. All games a like its at 4players and more than 3h and under 4h30

Axis and Allies™™ Mass maritime weekenders club: Days long!

Why you play Azul and Café then? I don't get it. If a game just feels to long with 4 players, just play with fewer then? Wish they were shorter with 4 players.... Eh?

For me, the long game I wouldn't actually change, but which I find regrettably long for the sake of difficulty getting to table, is Arkham Horror (2nd ed.). I know it is shaggy and inelegant, but I love it.

I wish you had made this video a lot shorter...

For a video about beautiful board games 97% of the video is two guys talking about games.

Full agree -- I love Scythe and adore Star Wars: Rebellion. Just a few things I'd tweak about the games. For Scythe, it's having an actual combat system instead of the combat being determined by card value + bid. That would make it longer, but it's just not satisfying to me fighting that way. For Rebellion, it's the wincon. The Empire's win con is perfect: Rebel base goes BOOOOOOM. For the Rebels, they just have to survive X turns and they shrink the timer on the Empire. Need to add something for the Rebels to accomplish in addition to surviving long enough: You must capture/kill Palpatine or Vader, or conquer Coruscant, or blow up a Death Star. Something to keep the game from becoming passive. Now, how to shorten the games? For Scythe, shortening it might be possible if all players started with an extra worker. Within the current rules, fastest I can figure out a win is with hyper military aggression as Saxony in a 3-player game to win by turn 20 or so. For Rebellion, adding cards that allow the Empire to force the Rebels' hand to engage in battle and it provides hints on the base location would certainly bring things to a head sooner. Or add a way the Empire to deny the base relocation cards.

Excelente review. Well explained, nice set-up and nice visuals. May I suggest review for both Pantheon and Agora expansions? Both solo and combined would be great. Keep up the good work.

The blue worker in Atlas example he could move diagonically and escape before the player could block blue worker with a second ground floor dome ...correct ..?!

great playthrough! Im considering getting this game. Really want to like it, just not sure....this helped though! I subbed. please consider sending one my way! Thanks!

Super great explanations!!!!

I love Lost Cities!

Thank you. I was confused about how the wakeup chart worked. Your explanation was really clear

No one will play this with me : Land Grab (1974). A canadian game - I've only ever seen it in its bilingual version.

lol… I thought all these would be about coffee

Love Cafe great game

My favourite variable player power is Cosmic Encounters, players have to balance the game

I am designing a board game and would love to have variable player powers, but the play testing feels a little daunting. One way of mitigating this is to add the asymmetry through the game with character upgrades.

I liked Flamecraft as well. Received it for Christmas and have played it a lot with the wifey this year.

I think it's cool that you are using a standard mic stand. Are you in a band? Not trolling or some goofy backhanded compliment. Just genuinely curious.

Clue and Trivial Pursuit

Well played!

@ Ryan's no. 1: If you play 2 player with the direwolf games app instead of the card deck, it includes an 'imperium churn' where once ever few cards it will tell you to remove some cards from the imperium row. So can definitely recommend using the app!

how could you not mention SORRY

How could you forget UNO?! It literally means "One"! Obviously, that's the numero "Uno" game of all time! Instant sub from a fellow board game channel 👍🏻 😂

jokes aside, scrabble and ticket to ride are actually fun games.

😂😂😂

Scrabble is legitimately a decent game, though. Is it in my top 10 or even 50? No. But it's actually OK.
