Merchants cove is fun. I need to get it to the table more.
What do you use to get your rankings?
You're shocked by some of the rankings so I'm guessing you use something that kicks out a list instead of you just picking your top 50.
Hi guys… thanks for this year's lists! You mentioned in earlier videos that you'd be publishing beyond your top 50 on Patreon. Or, at least, I think that's what you meant… maybe you're just going to talk more about your top 50s…? Anyway, have you already posted that? I don't see it there, but I'm relatively new to Patreon, so this could definitely be user error and me not knowing how to navigate the site. 🙂 Thanks!
There’s a new villainous with King Candy & Shere Khan. I’ve had similar experiences with certain games – burn out, but not because it’s been over played.
Just picked up Parks and im excited to play and possibly pick up the nightfall expansion down the road. We have trails and enjoy it so im sure i will enjoy parks even a bit more. What expansions do you play with?
thumbs up for TMB!
Great video, great choices. Btw any upcoming reviews on the rathskeller table?
Good personality and chemistry between you guys. Good work. I can clearly see y’all are gaming maniacs like me! I need to go to more cons. Thanks for video. Subbed.
If you enjoy Grand Austria Hotel at two players, you should try Hallton Palace from Iello. Same theme of putting guests in a hotel, but exclusively for two players and with a more fun, colourful, wacky approach. Maybe you’ll do a “who wore it better” kinda video with pairs of games with similar themes. 🤗😍 keep up posting amazing videos, can’t wait for the final 10-1 part of the top 50 🤩
I havent checked in with you in forever, but when u posted the top 10 I knew I had to check it out… But five seconds in i was like: They are so awesome, lets go back further, and here we are =)
Her accent is so great ❤
thanks so much
Woah. Jamie's #16 is a SHOCKER.
Whoa Jamie's 16 is more surprising than Jeff's Undaunted! This has been a wild ride! Can't wait for top ten.
i like.very good 🍒😃
I KNEW you two would love GAH!! Jeff I too enjoy Great Western Trail. This game offers a ton of options for scoring points. There's quite a bit of stuff to keep up with but I like trying different "paths" each time I play.
Jeff's slow reaction at 15 as he's realizing what's happening 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was the original lead designer on Villainous and I totally understand it's fall to #16. I'm actually working on sort of a spiritual successor to the design right now. It won't have Disney, but I'm interested to see how people who loved Villainous will respond to it as sort of an evolved, more hobby-level strategy version of some of the same ideas.
Both your number 20’s are by the same artist manny trembley
It's so true…. So many good games! I really have to try Grand Austria Hotel. It's very much my kind of game. I haven't tried Planet unknown either, but just got World Wonders, which I discovered has an excellent solo. If P.U. 's solo is as good, I might have to check it out. Love them polyominoes!
Also, I know this was in the last video, but yeah, Brian Both made your list! One of my faves too.😁
You should put up a list of everything that dropped off your top 50, that'd be really fun!
The initial feeling if getting into villainous was an amazing feeling, but as the years went on and we knew all the ways to win easily or make it impossible for the other player it has fallen for me too, but there will always be something special about Disney villainous and the good memories will last forever
yay Merchants Cove! OMG I can't wait for the new stuff!!!!
Believe it or not I don't own a single worker placement game, I wonder if I'd find any of em fun lol
Finally, yours top 20-11. Really enjoyed watching this morning.
My Top's:
11 Abyss
12 A Feast for Odin
13 Fury of Dracula (Third/Fourth Edition)
14 Project: ELITE
15 Star Wars: Outer Rim
16 Lost Ruins of Arnak
17 Western Legends
18 Vindication
19 Brass: Birmingham
20 Empires of the Void II
Love to see the love for A Feast For Odin. About a year ago I found a copy and a copy of The Norwegians in my FLGS… had to drop $150 on it and it’s pretty much my #1.
Don’t give up on the expansion Jeff, dive deeper!!
Sounded like you were channeling Buddy the Elf with the "I love it's" on Grand Austria Hotel 😂 Great top 20s!
Jamie is the cutest is she ever not "on"?
The excitement of this list is quickly becoming out of control!
Thanks!
Just got my copy of wonderland war 2 weeks ago! I can't wait to play it with some of my friends !
Unacceptable. Villainous deserves to be on the next list, not this list!
I'm Ready! Top 20, 50-21 were pretty good, no idea what's better
What's A-symmetry mean?
I always think the sign in the background says "painkillers" at first look haha
WOW – Feast For Odin looks like a table hog! JAMIE! WHAT??? I will live – Villianous is still a part of your life! Hahaha Grand Austria Hotel – love your faces! Yup so many good games – I can't wait for the top ten – and NO IT WOULD NOT BE FUNNY! You must post!
We have really fallen for Anachrony like you pretty sure the more we play it the higher up our favourites list it will climb. Must confesss, have thought Villainous would have been higher.
Oh Jeffs magical face of realisation at 21:40
Wow. Too many bones broke the top 20. Came so far from when it was just a running joke of “more like too much money.” Another good list. Bones and planet unkown are in my top 10. The excitement for number 15 was very sweet
I love that for yall about the cross over! Jeff you was so excited❤❤ very much looking forward to the game a thon!
Jealous that you guys were able to get Game of Thrones to the table – haven't been able to for years! What Houses did you play? 😁
Hallertau and Feast for Odin are two Uwe's I still haven't tried. I've owned 3 different copies of A Game of Thrones and was never able to get it played. I think interest went down after the show ended.
I love Feast for Odin. Jamie try it again!
To make villainous more fun imo. Is to have multiple players instead of 1v1. Those 6 player games are fun if u get enough people. My game group enjoys the marvel one the most. Because we randomize the shared fate deck so it keeps us on our toes. That one only goes up to 4 but thats more fun too in our opinions cuz it adds more balance. We are also starting to enjoy the star wars one too.
I love Planet Unknown! Great one to have on your list!
great list guys, love the variety of games. Would be interested to hear what your Top 10 played games of the year were, they often vary haha. Man, I wish we could table games like Vast, Pax Pamir, GoT, Dune, even Root, but it can be hard to get a core group of people to be invested in the asymmetry like Jaime mentioned. Excited to see yout top 10!
Excited for your top 10 video!!
I just love Parks and glad to see it on your list too. Played it 4 times this week with both expansions at the table (but now I am probably done playing it for awhile). It has been in my top 15 games of all time 4 years in a row. The Wildlife expansion is solid but that traveling Bison mechanic is just meh…I would prefer a choice of making a resource an animal or ability to purchase a gear card as those gear cards don't get purchased often in my games, and there are so many gear cards to utilize. Really hoping they continue to make more expansions and consider adding world national parks.
Feast for Odin is not a game, its is more of a tedious activity.
Jeff, I was all set to come in here and tell you that it hurt my heart to hear that Dice Throne doesn't crack your Top 50, but I actually got over it pretty quickly, haha. It's much higher for me, but everyone having different opinions is what makes lists like this fun in the first place. Plus, I agree 100% that there are just SO MANY great games now, and they can't all crowd into the Top 10 or 20 (or even 50) Looking forward to seeing your Top 10's!
