Seen Starship Troopers. Can’t say any more than that.
Starship Troopers FTW!
Ummmmm…. Star Wars Rebellion? Never heard of it? Tiny game. It's literally Star Wars in a box.
I was surprised at how many games I own from the list (6/10)! Great list overall.
Moreover, Starship Troopers is a classic.
No love for John Company Second Edition?
Have you played Nemesis lockdown yet? Do you think that’s more less or the same amount of theme
Starship Troopers pew pew pew!
Love this channel!! Great video. Also, secret message has arrived
Starship Troopers is still awesome!!!!
great topic, love your energy and humour. your channel is very fun to watch. thank you!
Starship Troopers: movie AND book are amazing
Why is secret Hitler never on any of these lists? It seems like a simplified version of feed the kraken and it’s soooo fun
Obsessing, did you say you earn 'Pinky Points'?🤣
Starship Troopers is a true cult classic. I need to watch it again! Great vid, guys and love the recommendations.
Starship Troopers with RiffTrax is awesome.
Great list! War of the Ring, Nemesis, Eldritch Horror – simply amazing games. Need to try Final Girl.
Our gaming group has had this conversation several times before, and for us, 'thematic' is kind of a hard thing to nail down. For some (like me) it means how the game's mechanics relate to the game's setting/theme/artwork, but for some (like in this video) it might mean something more like 'how immersive the play feels'.
I'm ashamed to say I've only played Obsession from the titles mentioned here, and it is certainly a fantastic game. It does feel more 'thematic' than most worker placement games, as the workers have different roles and become 'expended' after use, the tiles you add to your house/tableau are rooms with distinct purposes, etc.
The one game that always stands out in my mind with respect to theme, is Photosynthesis. Not one of my favorite games, but the design of that game, and how the mechanics of the game relate to its theme/setting is pretty much unparalleled IMO. The sun revolves around the board, the trees grow and cast shadows on what is behind them (at the cost of VP/light points), seeds can drop from a tree a certain distance based on how tall the tree is, etc. It is a really impressive design, and has always struck me as unique among thematic board games!
star ship trooper is a good movie
Starship Troopers is the best!
I just finished a Starship Troopers rewatch the other day.
Starship troopers!!! Woohoo!!!🎉🎉🎉
I enjoyed Starship Troopers alot! And I've watched it recently! Haha

Starship Troopers is an amazing movie, Love it! What…anything Star Wars is also amazing!
Starship Troopers is fantastic! Now I will have to watch it again!
Hahahahaha I knew that Nemesis will be on the first place!!!
Starship Troopers has aged quite well, a cult classic for sure!
Pax Pamir, Outlive, Black Rose Wars and Western Legends are also verry thematique.
Starship Troopers: Do you want to know more?
Considering how bad modern movies are, its quite understandable to go back to some old classics
Starship Troopers is the shit!
Starship troopers is amazing, I just rewatched it a few weeks ago and still great. Cannot say the same about the sequels but the original is the best. Almost as good as Final Girl the board game.
I love Starship Troopers!! 😂 Seen it a dozen times lol
Great video! Have you played Stationfall?
The best thematic games are Rebellion and The Clone Wars.
Starship Troopers is a classic. Good movie.
Starship troopers is an absolute classic. A true satire about the military and the role of the media during a time of war. Would you like to know more?
I love Starship Troopers
Hey, I like Starship Troopers
Starship Troopers is amazing!! It is rightfully a cult classic.
I like Starship Troopers. I like the book better.
Love Starship Troopers
Starship Troopers is so good, man. So terribley good. 😊
Starship troopers – we love it 😍
I'd have included Scarface 1920 in this list. Agree with many of the others.
