wow, sorry, but you have the worst ranking that I have ever seen.
….. I think I am going to need another version in the 1-minute range, ain't no body got time for this!
One of the reasons I am fascinated with your reviews and therefore your top 100 is that when I look at the top 10, 20, maybe 25, out of the many games I've already played I'm 50-50 on "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, 100% BANGER" and "I respect it a lot and would like to never play it again, please and thank you".
Out of the few in your top 25 I haven't played, I am very eager to play War of the Ring: Second Edition, Paths of Glory, Argent: The Consortium and Millennium Blades. I'll get to it sometime next year probably, especially now that I know a lot more gamers locally and can host guests at my own place.
Just finished the video… my wish list on BGG before video was at 6… now its 15. My wallet is shivering from the fear of being abused. Thanks for showing me so many interesing games.
I def see why I watch your channel! I need to play war of the ring and nemesis. Also need to get obsession.
No 7th Continent?
No Chip Theory Games? And no new games from Awaken Realms (e.g ISS Vanguard)? And Mind Management? (These are my favourite now – just curious not even in the list)
The list went by so quickly I must have missed Unmatched and Dice Throne.
Spirit island is the king 👑 #1
J, have you ever played A Study In Emerald? This might be too much of an apples to oranges comparison: if you have, how does it compare to Tyrants of the Underdark? It seems like they share similar core mechanisms, but while ASIE seems to have been lost to time TOTU pops up in many a top X list. The idea of area control meets deck-building is really interesting.
Best channel 🎉
Chaos in the Old World? Spheres of Influence? Oh where have they gone?!
No a feast for odin in your top 100?
What do the numbers in the bottom right mean?
Oohhh Kolejka
How do you decide the rankings? It seems like a massive job and I am curious about your methodology!
So this video is a bit of a filler as i've had an unwell baby to deal with plus doing a big push to get Red Dust Rebellion onto the next stage of production now that People Power has advanced. Here is the link to the full video of the top 100 with commentary, followed by the text list. https://youtu.be/gxIxbtRMrvo100 Villagers99 Planet Unknown98 Nemo's War (Second Edition)97 Azul: Summer Pavilion96 Hadrian's Wall95 Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game94 Village93 Freedom: The Underground Railroad92 Pan Am91 Root90 Empyreal: Spells & Steam89 Pavlov's House88 The Reckoners87 Android86 Scythe85 Abyss84 Final Girl83 Agents of SMERSH82 Star Realms81 Galilean Moons80 Last Friday79 XCOM: The Board Game78 Castles of Mad King Ludwig77 SpaceCorp: 2025-2300AD76 Between Two Cities75 Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy74 Space Cadets73 Legendary Encounters: An Alien Deck Building Game72 Modern Art71 Dune70 Potion Explosion69 Lords of Hellas68 Above and Below67 Lords of Waterdeep66 Architects of the West Kingdom65 Rurik: Dawn of Kiev64 The Isle of Cats63 Sentinels of the Multiverse62 Empires of the Void II61 Power Grid60 Arkham Horror59 Suburbia58 Century: Golem Edition57 Pandemic: The Cure56 Tyrants of the Underdark55 Dawn of the Zeds (Third Edition)54 Gloomhaven53 The Captain Is Dead52 Black Orchestra51 Defenders of the Last Stand50 Star Trek: Ascendancy49 Healthy Heart Hospital48 Horrified47 Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island46 Civilization: A New Dawn45 Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery44 Kolejka43 Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game42 Museum41 Chinatown40 Gaia Project39 Santorini38 Rush M.D.37 It's a Wonderful World36 Le Havre35 The Crew34 Sidereal Confluence33 Unsettled32 Crisis31 Circadians: First Light30 Junk Art29 7 Wonders28 Everdell27 Mansions of Madness: Second Edition26 Roll for the Galaxy25 The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire24 Paladins of the West Kingdom23 Millennium Blades22 Azul21 Xia: Legends of a Drift System20 Twilight Struggle19 Arkham Horror: The Card Game18 Argent: The Consortium17 Leaving Earth16 Underwater Cities15 The Castles of Burgundy14 Anachrony13 Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game12 Yokohama11 Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game10 Paths of Glory9 This War of Mine: The Board Game8 War of the Ring: Second Edition7 Obsession6 Brass: Birmingham5 Nemesis4 Thunderbirds3 Star Wars: Rebellion2 Terraforming Mars1 Spirit Island
Always a fan of Your Top 100. Thanks.
watch this at 1.25 x speed for rave time 😎
I was expecting the same video, just with the speed way up to condense it down to 3 min. This… Is a much better idea.
You need to play more War of the Ring and maybe with the expansions… my heart can't take it falling out of the top 10 in 2023
Just curious, are you planning to do a top solo games update anytime soon?
Hey dude – saw Android on there and immediately looked for a 3 min review, didn't find one; …you guys like a challenge, right? 😄
Nice list… I added some to my wish list… What do you think about gloomhaven jaws of the lion?
Curious – but still respectful of the de gustibus nature of Top X lists – I’m surprised no A Pfister titles made the list. GWT 2.0 has a good solo mode and avoids the mistake of the 1.0 theming.
Happy to see Between Two Cities on there! Fantastic game, just the perfectly amount going on (with the city mats/purple tiles) for a drafting game.
You mean I wasted 51 minutes watching the long one? 😂 Same takeouts I need to play from both – Freedom, Pavlov, Junk, Cadets, Sentinels, Captain, Kolejka, Millenium, Bloc, War of Mine.
Love the speed! Some games added into my Wishlist. Thanks!
I just discovered this chanel, and I already love it. Does anyone know if there is a list of every game reviewed? I'm looking for Fief: France 1429 herę.
