I really like this channel. Some friends of mine in Saint Petersburg love board games, and am learning some things inadvertently just by watching/listing to you. Thank you. Gotta wait for this plandemic to end before I can go visit them...

Great Stuff!
Very Concise
I rather liked how you showed examples of box covers but didn’t tell us anything about them - Well Played

I'm gonna have to say action points, worker placement, and tile laying are my go to mechanics.

Engine building or area majority would be my favorites.

Awesome video! Would love to see that list of the other 20 mechanisms you mentioned!

I'm similar but specifically different. I love Engine Building and Deck Building but not dice or bag building, I like drafting but I can't think of any drafting games I really like (Terraforming Mars I suppose, or Through the Ages though it's not the usual style). Worker placement but not dice placement though ideally with a novel twist. I love variable player powers with a caveat being the corollary of what you said. Sometimes powers can feel like they tell you how to play rather than letting you explore the full game space. I hadn't considered hand management but I love card games so something about them should be in my favourites!
I don't like puzzle pieces or area majorities or Rolling and Writing or blind auctions but I'm pretty neutral on auctions in general and many other mechanics.

🤔 I do not believe I have a favorite. I'll try anything 🤷🏽‍♀️I do like Cubitos, TE Pirates/Dinosaurs, Friday, Mansions of Madness... 🤔 But I fluffin LOVE Skip-bo 🥰 So maybe my favorite is card games 😅
