Actual time stamps! True time stamps!! The number is said, then the game title is said!!! THEN thoughts on the game - WOW - I finally found a channel that does it right.

Thanks Jacob. I haven't always gotten this right, but I'm trying. It is human nature to preamble and try to build suspense. Thanks for watching!

Dude, you are onto something with this delivery. Keep it up. Beyond the production, you have a gift of summarizing complex topics in basic language.

Thanks Z M. Hope you enjoy it!

Brilliant list (again!). Very happy to see Troyes and Madeira get some love in particular - both such interesting and fun games. Troyes really feels like a beast of its own, there's nothing else quite like it. I play Madeira solo using a simple card-flipping bot I made; for such a complex game, it's surprisingly easy to get to the table for solitaire play and the way the goals change as the eras progress always really grabs me.

I could see how an Automa style bot would work well in Madeira. Do you have rules for it on BGG? Troyes is a real evergreen. It comes out all the time. Really fascinating design. Thanks for watching!

No, not yet. I intend to; I'm still play-testing it for solo and 2p to make sure it's worth someone else's time should they ever try it 😅 Completely agree - Troyes' design somehow feels both like a decades old classic and brand new. I really dig the art style too!

Continuing to enjoy the list - always enjoy the quality of your channel video's and all the attention to detail. It's super helpful!

Excellent Joellen. Thank you for the wonderful compliment! I hope you enjoy the Top 10 list tomorrow!

I've been wanting to play Castles of Burgundy for a while now, just seems like such a classic game. I'm a sucker for dice placement also! Super interesting that Obsession has wiggled it's way to your number 15, i loved your play through of that one, will have to keep my eyes open for that . And I love the art in Troyes! 🤯😪 Ahhh So many games! I'm keen to see your top 10!

I don't know if you play Board Game Arena, but that is a great way to try all three of these games online. Unfortunately they did not program the solo mode for Obsession, I believe. I have a weekly online gaming group and when we are 2-4, Troyes is a go-to. Very quirky game. And my wife really enjoys Burgundy, so that gives it a boost. A well deserved classic. Thanks so much, Emma!

Your list aligns with a lot of my favs.....Thanks for sharing!

Nice. I suspect the top 10 will be more hit and miss. I have a few shockers in there. Thanks for checking out the video, Dennis!

I was exactly like you with Obsession. When I first played it, I thought it was… fine. But the more I’ve played it (only solo), the more I’ve liked it. Very thematic, and I like the challenge of managing both your hand of guests as well as your worker meeples. It’s now one of my favourite euros for sure.

Nice. I read someone who said their opinion of Obsession lowered after more plays but I'm very much the opposite. I don't even like the theme that much, but I still love how thematic it is. Thanks for watching, Jay!

Obsession works on so many levels and the theme is used well

Definitely. You can tell the game is a labor of love for the designer. Feels special. Thanks!

Ohhh, I also love games where you roll dice and strategize what to do with them! But I do think I'm a more fond of the "turn-based strategy" genre in general, which is why i love board games so much.

@TotallyTabled

Жыл бұрын

Definitely, nos. I pretty much only play turn-based strategy video games, and that is most of what board gaming is. I like the tactical decision making layer that dice introduce. It is not enough to have some great plan, because the dice won't always cooperate, so you have to think on your feet a bit. Thanks for watching!

I don't think you will be disappointed, Mr Bovine. It is a game that has steadily grown on me with each play. Hope you have fun. Thanks for watching!

Great list, Sir. I played Troyes at BGA and really like it. I did appretiate playing at BGA, because with a hover of the mouse's cursor I could see the meaning of the iconography. And that made me think if the iconography, which imo is not great, wouldn't create a barrier or be very bothersome for new players on the physical version of the game. What do you think?

@TotallyTabled

Жыл бұрын

The icons are very hard to understand for sure. The saving grace: the cards are all public and so few are used each game that it is easy to reference them at the beginning of the round and get everyone up to speed. So I think it works great as a physical game. Thanks for watching!

I'll try to do better next time Gordon. I tend to mention those things if it played a big part in its position on the list. I don't feel compelled to mention every designer of every game -- most people don't care about that. I guess I'm trying to provide whatever personal insight into the game I can give, rather than just recite easily researched facts like player count, length of time to play, weight, BGG score, date published, designer, illustrator, production company, etc. Thanks for watching!
