Yeahhhh! So happy to see boss battles here! Thank you so much for the shoutout, sir!

[RAPHBENOIT]

Great list/video!
Although I love SI Nature Incarnate, I'm still surprised best expansion didn't go to Aeons Trespass Odyssey cycles 4&5 box!

[tonyclark]

Loved these categories - very different from all the other best of videos out there

[hanslamal]

Very nice list, enjoyed this video a lot! 👌

[cgrice]

Great list! I was just wondering how you store all of your Marvel United?

[TimYoung]

I don’t want to drop thousands into a TCG. Is Star Wars Unlimited good enough to just get the 2-person starter set decks and play it that way without buying booster boxes and building decks?

[Onibabayaga]

What is the best co-op dungeon crawl type of adventure game that isn’t super hard to get into like Gloomhaven? I love Mansions of Madness in terms of working together and exploring/playing, but am open to any genre or topic.

[siegful]

Chris happy holidays, was wondering if you have a recommendation for a dungeon crawler for beginners/non-boardgamers.

[dannyanderson]

The component that seemed unnecessary, but ended up making the game way better award... The magnets in Fractured Sky. Those made the game almost magical.

[imtheurbanspaceman]

I've become a little obsessed with Worldspanner Factions, it's absolutely brilliant. Great list. Thank you.

[mr_boom]

I'm curious to see where compile and faraway rank in your card game list

[Olorin]

Loving DI:Uprising as well. I just got my Bloodlines last week. So far, lots of modules that you can take/leave/add to the games.

In my opinion it follows the success of Uprising which is streamlining and balancing the expansions from the original DI.

For example it adds the techs back from Ix, but in a more streamlined and balanced way.

[IronSalamander]

Boss Battles makes an amazing game even better! KtHO is so good!

[DullDishwater]

Great to see Worldspanner Factions on the list!

[TimYoung]

I was just messaging you to ask when you were going to release this video and you dropped it.

[alcann]

"Fanboy-gasm"! You outdid yourself with that one! Love it!

[JasonBrown-usyv]

Canceled my grimcoven before the campaign ended

[Paddingtonisgood]

I'm surprised no mention of Fractured Sky based off your overview video of it from a while back.

[ricardohernandezvega]

I'm going to make up my list of games to buy looking at these recommendations 😁

[anactualcloud]

Not clear what you think of guards of Atlantis 2. The winner of the guards of Atlantis two award wasnt guards of Atlantis two?
