[drittz]

You two are awesome and I love your tutorial videos. When I'm looking to learn games if Rodney Smith, Paul Grogan or yourselves have a video on it I know learning it will be much easier. Thanks for all you do for the hobby.

[deemich]

great to hear your thoughts. happy new year! that shirt is hilarious, Stella :)

[dak]

Thank you for making this list. There are so many games out there. I always appreciate additional information when deciding which ones to add to my collection!

[Azure]

Great choices! I think the best thing about this channel is how different you two are!

[sitdowngames]

Youhou! Tiwanaku and Maps of Misterra in the Top 20! Thank you!

[johngoodwin]

I've been looking forward to this. I've very much enjoyed your videos since finding your channel. A couple new games for me to check out. Goblin Vaults I've never heard of, but I like to have some good smaller card games around. I'll be watching you in 2024. Thanks for your efforts, knowledge, and enthusiasm.

[kairachann]

You make me want to buy those games haha, great review Stella and Tarrant. Happy new year, may your games be great this year also

[lwoonlef]

Great video! lots of games I haven't heard of! I would you guys do a top 10 best abstract and best 2 player games!

[GamingRulesVideos]

Thanks for putting this list together and going through your reasons for each game. Not many crossovers with mine, but most of the games on your list I haven't played :)

[lakesquid]

Your video, as always, was super fun to watch. Stella, I love The Magnificent Seven, and had to watch it again because of your singing. Thank you, and cheers!

[daotta]

Thanks very much for presenting all these lovely games to us. My no.1 is Age of Innovation. I'm a huge Terra Mystica and Gaia Project fan, so this one was a foregone conclusion. I wish both of you a very Happy New Year.

[TheDarktater]

Nucleum and GWT: New Zealand were number 2 and 3 for me, and Earth was 8 or 9. Such great games! Voidfall took my top spot by quite a bit. Hits on all cylinders for me.

[rmclean]

This was great, thank you! Kutna Hora is such a lovely-looking game. Wow, Age of Heroes sounds awesome. I love Lords of Waterdeep and this seems even better. Oooo, I need to check out Arborea, it sounds so good!

p.s. do you have an opinion on which GWT plays better at two-player?

[lenaforsgren]

I really enjoyed your list! So many games I would love to play! 😀 I have been away from the hobby more or less all of 2023 so I’ve watched different channels’ top lists over games from 2023 and luckily enough was able to try Evacuation, which has been mentioned by many gamers, often very high on their lists. I really, really enjoyed it (points mode)! I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your Evacuation tutorial, it’s really great! ❤️

[andrewimpellezzeri]

Thanks for the list. I had not heard of Path of Civilization. So thanks for the reveal. Also love the shirt "What Would Tarrant Do?" Another well done video. Have you played Ransom Notes? It is a party game, but would love to watch you guys play it.

[ferrum]

Great video guys. It's a very original list. I'll take a look at the new version of "The Mind", "Tiwanaku" and "Orion duel". I thought "Pirates of Maracaibo" would make it into Stella's list though.

Edit: Stella, Nucleum is my most expected game to play from your list. I'll get my copy soon. I can't wait to play that one

[Naru-Maki]

Thank you Stella & Tarrant. What another great upload! Helped me consider some future gifts 😁

[ChewieHuey]

Seeing and meeting you at Gencon and Essen, where do you find the time for ~350 plays? Respect.

[rahdo]

oh wow i thought i was the only one singing the praises of archeos society!
