What was your favourite game from 2023?

[xyvrefy]

It’s always a good day when actualol uploads

[tuntemon]

"...I play video games about killing people and I don''t do that anymore either." This made me choke on my drink! Nice one!

[THESP-rzhg]

Quick show of hands- who wants a podcast of Jon ranting about the trend in games for anthropomorphic theming

[Wezla]

Love these reviews and your witty writing to match.

"plagued by floods and flooded with plagues" was really good

[idokoren]

"At the usual exchange rate of a thousand to one" is genius

[giothevanni]

That “Forbidden desires” joke almost made me spit out my drink laughing 😂 Brilliant!

[TheTravelingPrince]

"It's perfect to fit in my wife's handbag for when we go to a dinner party and I want to take a game that we never end up playing." Oof. Next time just @ me.

John you are not just my favorite board game enthusiast. Not just my favorite youtuber. But you might be my favorite person. You are awesome John and we are blessed to have you to entertain us and make us smile. A lot.

[ryanskrenes]

I really appreciate your independent reviews of games that are just plain great.

[GoodEnoughParty]

I would be onboard for a 3 hour video rant on the Anthropomorphic animal themed epidemic! It really gets my goat!

[MMD-]

Every video you upload makes a dent in my wallet, a dent that brings tons of fun moments and joy to me, my family, and my friends. As much as I like other creators in the industry, your choices suited me best numerous times. Keep up the good work. Just keep in mind that what you do really helps other people connect, bond, maybe even heal and have fun together, as board games are rarely played alone. Games you recommended definitely helped me and my wife get through tough times. Thanks ❤

[luiscabral]

Love all your Actualol videos. I can't get enough of your humour!

[virgilalighieri]

So in German it's pronounced Zo, which rhymes with so and quo. And as you know (haha) Reiner Knizia is German.

I'll also argue and say that I absolutely love the anthropomorphic animals trend. I get so bored staring at art that looks like it came from my Latin textbook. Give me Redwall art any day.

[jeremyfrank]

"... if Vincent Dutrait is busy" Shots fired! Genuinely interesting picks, added a few to my 'hunt down and play' list, thanks!

[thebeardedmother]

This was ridiculously entertaining. Too many gags to choose from but the Australia joke was a comedic uppercut :) A thing of beauty. Greetings from across the pond.

[Bleuchz]

I feel you on Last Kingdom's production but one thing I never hear anyone shout out is how delightfully slim the box is. I have everything sleeved with a plano to sort the minis and its like one of those CMON troops on a map game that fits in a box 1/4 the size. A big reason why it'll probably stick in my collection over some games that maybe are a bit better?

[anthony]

I've never been drawn to that chess game because I only knew one thing : it's by the watergate people. I love watergate, but I thought it was basically a retheme... This video sold me to look into it more!

[pranavrai]

"For example this V means Very good" had me LoLing so

[MichaelZipkin]

"Like that moment in an M. Night Shyamalan movie when you finally realize it's really bad." 🤣
