What were your top games released in 2023? What did I miss?

[mindclashgames]

Wow, what a video, thank you so much for this detailed review of Voidfall! It's so cool to hear you exploring the depths the game has to offer! Thank you for all the love. The painted minis are wonderful and the camera work is 🤌

Sam not mentioning dune in any video challenge: Impossible.

[WatchItPlayed]

I bounced off the other L&C games, so you’ve got me intrigued with this newer one. Thanks for sharing!

[Doolin_Tablenauts]

Love this video! Great picks, and great shout out of Sail which was one of my favs from this year as well.

[esbenarildrasmussen]

Great list. I'm really intrigued by the Levy series and I'm kind of waiting for Henry: Agincourt, which seems like a good starting point. But Plantagenet is the one i really want, so I'm happy to hear you found more approachable than earlier entries in the series.

I love sail! Stoked it got so high up on your list!

[NowShowingTTV]

Great video, Sam! Voidfall looks so cool, but when I saw that weight on BGG it scared me off. But with your recommendation, I may have to give it a shot after all!

Zoo Vadis, That's Not a Hat, and Sail though look RIGHT up my alley. Already looking for ways to get my hands on them!

[HomoLudens]

Awesome vid once again, so cool to see Plantagenet there! I passed on Sail and now you just gave me fomo... how dare you?

The whole sequence on voidfall is great, both visually and content. It left me wondering, can I trick my audience and the publisher into believing that it is "kind of" a game about history? It's. aCDG right, that can work... I mean it even has hexes.

And thanks so much for the shout out! And check out The Battle of Versailles, definitely one of my top 5 of 2023.

Sail looks so good, great video!
Also loved the bear

[Jonathan-nktc]

Oh, Sail might be added to my collection soon! Looks amazing!

[moriahdonn]

Yes!! That’s Not A Hat was so easy and enjoyable! We loved playing it through the holiday season

[ToastyDangles]

Love your content. So well delivered and edited. Instant sub.

[joshhgray]

Great video! Have you seen Seljuk yet? Any thoughts on that compared to Plantagenet?

[Tablenauts]

Napoleon 👀

This makes me stoked to play Voidfall. Desperately want to.

[gentlegerry]

Excellent list, but really surprised however you didn't have Hegemony somewhere! Hegemony is kind of the euro version of Root, 4 highly asymmetrical factions with huge interaction. It is actually BBG #1 game of 2023. If not already, you should really try it.

[blackboardgaming]

I picked up Sail back in September and still haven't played it. I need to rectify that!

[Nendonintendo]

I feel like we have a very similar taste in boardgames! Thats why i enjoy your content very much :)

Maybe one day we can play a game together!

Recently i have had a lot of fun with Wallenstein, Wolves and Pax Pamir :)

[colinbeckstrand]

On your website you have 2 games on the main page as backgrounds. One is a colorful space type game, and the other an older looking medieval one. I went through some of your videos and couldn’t find what they are called. Would you be able to help me?

[ptceee]

Thank you SO MUCH for putting the actual game names in your chapters. Nothing more irritating than scrubbing the video to find people talking about games I'm interested in and having to squint at thumbnails to see what games are in each section.
