Definitely love Voidfall and would be my #1 for 2023! The design/decision space of the game is amazing and provides an excellent euro optimization puzzle that feels like you are leading an epic space empire! Would also love to be able to play Hegemony but don't have a group that would be interested and feel like the group interaction is likely a huge part of the fun. Simulation of socio-economic dynamics is a theme I find incredibly interesting and I think it would probably give Voidfall a run for #1 on my list. Would like to play GWTNZ as I think I would enjoy it. May have to pick that one up at some point. Enjoyed the discussion and the collaboration with Luke. Happy New Year to you both!

This was a super video, possibly the top 10 of the year. 😉. The only game I played on this list was earth and it was my top game for 2023. I may have backed it on Kickstarter because of Paul's video, if that came first. My tastes skew heavier than general public, but lighter than most other Patreon supporters, so I'm only interested in two other games on the list: World Wonders, and would buy that if I like it, and Sky team, which sounds awesome, but I rarely play at two players.

Right on! What a nice surprise. Luke and a Paul are my favorite UK dudes going today so this’ll be a fun watch. 🎉

I agree with almost all titles, especially Nucleum and Voidfall. Voidfall is one of my favorites ever.

Paul, first thanks for teaching me how to play Voidfall and give a playthrough. It is a great game I love it. Something that bothers me with "Deterministic Combat" though. If the WWII Battle of Midway had been deterministic, then the Japanese would have won (having four CVs to the American's three, and one of those already damaged from the Coral Sea) I think this was demonstrated in an old school game by "Battle Line" (and later "Avalon Hill") called Flat Top. It too had deterministic combat, but it also had hidden movement.

Voidfall is one of my favourites, but I’m not sure that the wildest factions are necessarily the most fun or balanced (often they are actually weaker). I’d choose a map that rewards player combat, and maybe stick to the more basic factions. Depending on techs on offer, turn order can matter with more than two. So two might be the nicest player count, also to play faster.

I think the idea behind the limit on communication in Sky Team is that decisions have to be made very quickly when landing a plane. There is communication allowed but only in intervals (every 1000 feet of descent)

I came here to make this exact comment. You are communicating and planning, but the turns take ‘mere seconds’ to perform all your actions and by the time you’ve adjusted speed, fuel, flaps, undercarriage, etc, the plane has moved on and the airport is closer. I find it to be quite a tense game as you want to manage your dice well and not let your partner down, but having to anticipate exactly how much to adjust each control is what makes this game good.

​@GamingRulesVideos Funny you should mention Voidfall making it to your top 3 because it's jumped into mine as well! We've got different #1 and #2s but I still rate yours very highly! We definitely differ on feeling Voidfall replaces Eclipse and TI4! I do love the deterministic puzzley nature of Voidfall, but it's nice to have TI4 and Eclipse as other sides to that. Eclipse has the eXplore that's missing from Voidfall and I quite enjoy research and bolting stuff to my ship designs. TI4 has the fun of each species having a very different feel to it as well as the political side and the constant tension of the map presence. Plus it's fun to chuck some dice every now and then whilst a bunch of ships explode 😄 Wish I'd been able to play Nucleum. From the mechanisms I'm confident I'll enjoy it. Hopefully this year it will happen! I think New Zealand is my favourite GWT for a lot of the reasons talked about it. It feels like there are a greater amount of buttons and levers to press which suits my style of being an explorative gamer who enjoys trying stuff out and seeing what happens 🙂 Great video! And Luke was surprisingly restrained here 😉

Despite all my initial reservations, I totally agree with Paul; Voidfall has undoubtedly been my top game of 2023 and automatically secures a spot in my top three. However, Luke is correct about the lengthy setup and teardown time for the game. Given my busy schedule, it's challenging to find the time to play Voidfall. In fact, I've had to use my annual leave just to get a chance to play it.

I think this is why I would not have Voidfall in my top games of 2023. For me a big part of any top 10 is a game you are actually going to play and with my gaming group I’d struggle to get Voidfall to the table. Sold TI4 because it just sat there.

@fireshrine77

@@thehandoflenin That's fair enough but I am certain that you will find it easier to table Voidfall than TI4, which is a different beast.

Personally, it's feat considering how time poor I am.

6 ай бұрын

@@thehandoflenin This is an interesting topic. If Voidfall was a combat, area domination game then I would say the deterministic battle is horrible. Fortunately, Voidfall is a Euro and how I see the battles is as if it was an obstruction to progress further. So if I looked at the entire game as a whole, it makes perfect sense. From acquiring Technologies, to converting resources to deploy fleets (which are resources on its own) gels so well. Most naysayers would just look at the combat bit and make a judgement that VF is just bad. So it really depends on what you expect VF to be. It's not in the same genure and TI4 or Eclipse which people compares VF to. Hope this makes sense to you.

It’s not unthematic you can’t communicate, because quite often you don’t have the time, you have to split responsibilities and your communication has to be the most effective you can. Not being able to communicate verbally but instead being forced to take responsibility and communicate through dice placement is actually a really good representation of the communication method used between pilot and copilot.

Finished video...whew: ok, GWT New Zealand is just simply the best version of GWT. Completely replace the 2nd edition for me. I'll be curious what the masses think after a few years of Nucleum. It was good and I'd play it again, but it is not the Barrage or Brass Birmingham it gets compared to. Darwin's Journey was ok, I think I side with Luke on that one.

Same friend who owns Voidfall was given Barcelona by his wife. We played it once and first impression tempts me in to buying it. Hegemony, still sits on my "to play" shelve.

I hope people know its just a game and don't apply the theme too seriously to their lives. Voidfall, on the other hand, is amazing. The icons are not an issue and the tech setup is greatly reduced by labeling the house trays. STILL, the setup is very long. On the more complex houses & scenarios, playing solo has sometimes put me at my brain burning limit. Sometimes it feels too complicated, but if I have a nice chunk of time and have managed to get all my errands done, this is my current favorite puzzle to swim in. There's also an online implementation of the solo mode that keeps me company in the interim. I've played a few multiplayer sessions and it works well as a heavy euro.

The first round or two is harder but after that you should easily be spinning that wheel for fun. Yes it’s punishing. But it’s all open info. Not like brass.

I've seriously considered doing that. The problem with that is that if I play, for example, Mage Knight in a year, it will be in my Top 10, which will confuse people. So it needs to be "games released in 2023". The reason I wait is that many of the 2023 games I have only played once, which is nowehere near enough to properly evaluate them. Doesn't stop everyone else doing it, but I don't feel comfortable with that.

Totally disagree, only main stream games, nothing originale GZ.

People have tastes, not everyone is the same. Why are you upset? Everyone speaks his opinion freely

On the flip-side, I was quite happy to see Luke here. I enjoy the banter between you.

That's your loss Flea. 😎 The rest of the viewers will enjoy regardless of whether I enjoy their favourite games or not. And no I still don't enjoy whatever your favourite game is that precipitated this. 😉

I hope flea takes their own advice as the comment does not seem like a healthy way to end 2024

@@Spankatank. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and not everyone likes every content creator. There are for example, some content creators I cannot stand to watch, so any video with them in I will avoid, even if they are a guest on one of my favourite channels :) I was actually a bit worried Luke was going to be massively negative in this video, but I thought it worked well.
