Entertaining as always, even though as you say, a list like this is "inane." Of course it is, and I'll watch to the very end, because it's excellent. For the the third time around (original review, 10 shitty games, this list) you're way, WAY off with the masterpiece that is Pax Pamir. However, don't bother sending the hemorrhoid cream. But thank you. 😄
What I like most about your channel is that every video gives me the impression that you are secretly recording this at night in your room against your parents permission.
I’d love to see a top 10 wokest board games (or something of the sort). The way you call out publishers / designers for their progressive crap shoehorned into these games is both refreshing and hilarious. If you won’t do it, no one will!
Mansions of Madness 1st Ed. isn't bad if you like the "dudes on a map" type games, like Cthulhu: Death May Die or Talisman and such, but the 2nd Ed. (with the "App") is hot dog poo with cold dumpster juice poured all over it. The app was an excuse for them to give you fewer components at the same price, and the app plays about as intelligently as a random deck of cards. I have yet to see a game where an app actually makes the game better.
These 2 vids have made me go back to the BGG site and look at the front page(s) (and not just check out Geek Questions — yes, I was/am one of them).
WTF happened to that site?!? BGG used to be a great site, an incredible board game(r) resource, and a nice community. Now it looks like a shill site, married to KickStarter and monied entities, run by a bunch of grinning poo eating tools and sycophants (like the whole site has been infected by the Tom Vasel / Dice Tower crew and they're chasing the Geek & Sundry / TableTop schtick)! The Top 100 and the Hotness have kind of blurred together. I hated the redesign, but they have done more than just a cosmetic makeover. They're in the slow and dragged out process of trying to kill GQs (again) and now they're even talking about getting rid of GeekMarket?! Like wtf?
I agree about anachrony. I enjoyed it the first 2 times. However I will die on the pax pamir hill. It is easy to learn, Multiple ways to affect the board game state , shifting allegiances, and love the closed economy. Please send the anusol to 555 pax.
Your channel is one of the least shit on board games. Thanks for the laughs. I like Maracaibo and it's got no uprising in it, you have to get the liberal expansion for that. Best to buy it now before Pfister rethemes it to flower arranging.
€21 euro is a lot of money? Mate its 2023 thats like the cost of a single film ticket at the cinema, basically fuck all. We ain't living in the 80's anymore. I'd rather buy a game for that money. Honestly most games now are like €60 minimum buy in. I'm also realising we have very different tastes in games, you love all these bland awful looking euro crap with shitty wooden bits. Frankly these look like less fun than stabbing my own dick with a sharpened pencil. 😛
I'm a very liberal guy, the Daily Mail would call me "woke", and yet I can't see why a game like Puerto Rico would feel the need to tone down controversial elements when there are plenty of games on the market where you can play as Nazi Germany, colonial Americans, plagues, Aliens who are trying to wipe out humanity, and so on. You can literally play Adolf Hitler in the game "Secret Hitler". Yes, colonialism, plantations, slavery, and the destruction and abuse of indigenous people were all terrible – but that doesn't make a board game depicting them inherently terrible??
Love you work, mate. Another great video. If it's in good condition, I'll buy your version of Anachrony. I'll see you in Essen. (Unless a brand new version is there for sale).
Awesome commentary, just love it ! Clinical & brutally honest. Looks like our tastes overlap by 95%. Would hence be keen to get your views on some of the games where I not seen your comments yet (hence I am not sure if you have played them – if so, I would appreciate a hint/link where you commented on them): – The Great Wall – Darwin’s Journey – Scarface 1920 – Expeditions – Pagan: Fate of Roanoke – City of the Great Machine
Absolutely fantastic content everytime…i dont usually comment on any videos but you deserve all the admiration that comes your way AWESOME CHANNEL!!!✌️
Maracaibo was a pure clone of Great Western Trail for me. There was a thin layer on top (country influence) but otherwise it's just GWT with a bazillion hours longer set up time.
I love BGBs videos. Doesn't give two shites about what others think and speaks his mind… much of what I agree with. Except Pax Pamir 2e – love that game… but I find it hilarious that he voices his opinions with no filter!
Hello from Chicago. Regardless if your opinions align with mine, I still find your assessments hysterical. This channel is about as woke as a Dirty Harry movie marathon.
The most entertained I've been in ages. Thanks!

Priceless😂😂😂
I laugh everytime i see your videos
Love this series, and especially love the jabs at Eric Lang
Man, if I would ever meet you at some game convention and said "hi", if you wouldn't told me to piss off, I'd be genuinely disappointed.
What I like most about your channel is that every video gives me the impression that you are secretly recording this at night in your room against your parents permission.
Laughing my balls off
Cheers mate

You should try the Fractures of Time expansion for Anachrony. Makes the game much more interesting.
That pax pamir review was absolutely brutal and hilarious, well played.
Hilarious as usual. The Everdell theme makes me gag. Gimme something beige like Orleans any day.
The board game Lisboa is about the reconstruction of Lisboa after the great earthquake of 1755. That was a significant historical event.
This is why you are one of the best in the hobby, blunt and honest. Don't stop calling shite when you see it.

If guy Ritchie directed board game reviews
Unlike a certain Tweeting bed-wetter, I still loved the video even though you despise one of my favorite Pax games.
Alexamnder Fister?! OMG
You are right about everything. I have full confidence in your reviews. Screw bgg.

I'm surprised how much our tastes align. But clutch your asshole and get Underwater Cities to the table!
Anybody knows if the call of Cthulhu RPG gives a better feel to that mythos compared to Mansions of Madness?? Great vid as always.

I love this channel. I can never tell what on Earth your gonna say that catches me off guard and sets me off laughing.
What is BGG?
How many people who bought Frosthaven, finished gloomhaven?
We recently picked up Pandemic Rome and we were bored pretty quickly
Cascadia is a fun game, its on the lighter side, but everyone we have played it with seems to like it.
Love you work, mate. Another great video.
If it's in good condition, I'll buy your version of Anachrony. I'll see you in Essen. (Unless a brand new version is there for sale).
I recently stumbled upon your channel and I'm extremely happy that someone else has the same opinions on games as I do. Thank you!

"Think more about what you take out of the box than what you put in the box" – FUCK YES.

I can already imagine your worst nightmare: Pax Pamir with Birds 😂
Glad to hear someone hates Pax Pamir.
Also love the unexpected Marvel FASERIP shout out! Great supers game.
I will have to look into Mage Knight sometime.
