I never tried hickory dickory, despite it looking very cute and interesting. It didn't seem to do well with critics. I might need to hunt down a copy. Another great video, very fun looking back and seeing where some older games are at or if they are still to be released.
I love hickory Dickory but can’t get people to play
We have and really enjoy Rolling Heights. So much fun to roll the meeples 🙂
If only we all had 200x more hours to play all of the games we are interested in and already love, but we do the best we can.
Skyrise was definitely one of my most anticipated as well, and yes, it did not disappoint. I wasn't too surprised since it's based on an older Ystari game, Metropolys. Assyria is another old Ystari game that is getting a work over from the Garphil team for 2025….the next on my anticipation list.😊
Omg Meeples and Monsters sounds like it was a rough play. Come on people! 🤦♀️
Avatar: The Last Airbender – Aang's Destiny Own it, played it and i am liking it. Also Clank Legacy 2, bought it, but still waiting for it to show up.
Both: this is great content! I love hearing a follow up.
Jamie: Goog-who we are still on AskJeeves fosho!
Jeff: if you want to win a game Gest of Robin Hood lol invite me on BGA! I really want to learn it and get into wargames more broadly
I saw someone selling a base game copy of Monster Slaughter in the virtual market for pax unplugged on BGG!
organize your list
start with games that you have played, and then provide your opinion and then games you did not play at last, this way you can spend more time providing insights on games you played
stay strong. i used to live on a well so know way too much about repairing pump switches, etc
Thanks for doin what you do ❤️
Hey guys great video , fellow canuck.
Sand really isn't difficult, I highly recommend tabling it. Much simpler than Salton Sea.
shouts out to the Ask Jeeves reference
Rallyman Dirt is a very good racing game. However watch some videos of the World Rally Championship to under stand how rally racing works. You do not race together like in HEAT. Cars are flagged off at intervals and are scored by the fastest time. You race the clock, not each other directly. Also it has a unique (nicer to say than weird) movement system that is perfect for this type or racing. You will have to play this a few times to understand it.
Love Alpenglow 🙂
If you have the all-in Rallyman Dirt pledge we can talk trade. I have Sniper Elite.
luuuuuuuuuuurve Bardwood grove! imo it's best at 3
Windmill Valley is one of my favorite games from this year!
oh no! so sorry about your well! Hope you are able to source water soon… we had our well run dry, and was not pleasant😖
Do you guys ever try out old Classics? Medina, San Marco, mogul, Tikal? Any experience with those or that subject? Lately I’m starting to love, trying out older games and taking a break from the new stuff. It’s fun to sort of Wade through the hstory of tabletop gaming.
(Warning: Somehow I got very chatty in this comment!) First – I hope your water situation settles back down!
I've played A Gest of Robin Hood on BGA a couple of times. If you want an easy win, play me there! (I am REALLY not good at that game!!) I got to play Windmill Valley last month and it is SO GOOD! You definitely need to give it a shot. 🙂
I want Age of Comics SO BADLY. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it comes back. I've got the PNP version of Fliptown from early in the year and it's really good. Good enough I want to get the official printed version when I can. I got to play ARCS the same day I played Windmill Valley and while I can objectively admit it's a good game, it just didn't click for me.
I like Ark Nova but I don't really understand it at all, so I'm very very bad at it. I've got a physical copy that was gifted to me and I should try playing that instead of on BGA where it does everything for you. Maybe it would click then. I backed the reprint of Mythwind and will be getting it early next year – but I bought it for a solo game, so I can't WAIT to play it! I've watched 1 playthrough of Endless Winter and it looks really good, I just don't know if I'd get it to the table often enough to buy it.
I only started getting into board games this year, so my anticipated list is tiny. My most anticipated games are, in order: Luthier, Mythwind, and Storm Raiders.
Yonder looked awesome, I backed it on Kickstarter, can't remember the delivery date but expect it sometime next year.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but the new Root factions will be released Q1 in 2025! They are great additions and can't wait to play them on the app. Thanks guys for your fun videos!
