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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@MrN0b0dy85 It would look a lot more like Star Wars: Rebellion / Axis & Allies. Or even a simplified card combat system that runs three rounds and you play different cards each round to sway the result in your favor.

@@MrN0b0dy85 Familiar with, but have never had the chance to play GoT as of yet. That is probably a more elegant way to do the card battle system that I described. I'm in favor of that over Scythe's "battle bid." I don't think the battle bid is a bad system, it's just not my favorite.

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.
